Wink Seriously thinking bout a fairing on my RK

I have been tossing the idea around for awhile and I am thinking about getting a Dead center fairing. I ride around now with my ipod and buds....not great. I wanna jam as I am going down the road

Gonna have it custom painted by Attitude to match my paint.

Any thoughts or reviews?

I had mine done by Dead Center and am more than happy with it. I had them do the fairing and I installed the tunes and installed a polk amp in my bag, awesome sounds. Dead center matched the paint scheme to the factory specs and it could not of come out better. Highly recommended, good luck....

When I had my RKC I had a Dragonfly fairing. Customer service was awesome. Loved my 6x9 speakers in the fairing. Easy on and off.

You asked for thoughts, so here are mine. There is no better way to screw up the classic look of an RKC (and yours is great looking!) than to add a fairing to it. Most of us that buy RKCs did so because we like the classic look of a tourer without a fairing and don't like all that fiberglass covering the bike. A plastic fairing with leather bags will look strange in my opinion.

Plus, as you have seen countless times on the forum, those with fairings can't stop complaining about wind buffeting, which is not a problem on a Road King. I am sure that aftermarket fairings suffer from this problem at least as much as the factory ones.

As I said, though, I'm offering thoughts because you asked for them. But it is your bike. Do what you want.

I had a Dead Center on my 09 RK. Like others have said, excellent quality, the matched perfectly & customer service was top notch. A plus is that it uses the stock windshield mounts.

If I was in need of one, Dead Center would be my choice again.

Had a DCC on my '03 RK, loved it, was the best investment I had made on the bike.
