Default 2011Road Glide

Hey everyone, A friend of mine bought a wrecked 2011 Road Glide. Frame's ok, but all the plastic needs to be replaced. I saw on ebay aftermarket inner fairings from China for $255.00, and Harley wants $583.00. Anyone have any experience with these aftermarket products? I see that you can buy inner, outer, and lower fairings. My first thought is to stay away from them. Thanks.

I have not seen a Fugly that was worth $255.00 to me yet.
Well, come to think of it, some folks put lipstick on a pig.
To each their own, I guess...

That's, pretty much, NOT what he asked. Congratulations Richard.


I have no experience with the stuff from China. But I have heard a lot of people say it's good quality. If you're on a budget, it would be a cheap way to go.

My biggest concern is fitment. Usually to get around the patent a small change has to be made.

The only complaints I have ever seen was things like mounting hardware on lowers not being very good. But as far as the plastic, pretty much everyone raves.


These guys have a really good reputation

There is a complete set of vivid black RG sheet metal on ebay right now off a 2012 RGC. I saw it yesterday under "road glide" and it had no reserve on it. Was at like $20-$30. Might be worth a look.

.... had'ta stop'n think about that for a half'a second
......... high 5, Shooter !

...... lot's of take-off inners on ebay if you're wondering about fitment.
..... no experience w/the non-OEM stuff, but there's little that's less frustrating than saving a few bucks & not having the holes line up.
