The greatest thing about a RK is its versatility. But I would never put a fairing on my ride or a tour pack, for that matter. It loses something for me, although I would like a set of color matched lowers...

I got a RK put too much money in chroming the front end, thus the windshield, but i did get lowers and a RK tour pak for those long weekends. With the quick detacheables it can be changes in a matter of minutes as it is with my different seats.....lots of different looks in a RK.

Expensive to do yes just because of the paint, but I did the fairing first then 2 years later the pac then 2 more years the lowers, I didn't think I would want all of these items when I bought the king. but that changes with time, its cheaper than buying a different bike, and doing all the mods I did that makes it mine.

I do my Reckless Fairing on my RKC just for cooler temp rides, then it's back to the windshield. It is the "King Of The Road".
Some folks say "If you put a fairing on, you will leave it on", but not me.
In the bitter cold, it helps keep the wind off your hands and such, but I look forward to taking it off.
Sure is nice riding with that shiney nacelle beaming back at ya...

I use a Dragonfly on mine. I don't use it much, but it is so nice just for the "change" put it on, put the shield on, take it all off. It's great!

I've been seriously thinking of adding a full fairing, although I like the look of a clean front end much better. I even considered a RoadGlide front end, but I think that would be a very long & expensive road to go down.

I just need 2 bikes.

It cost a lot more than the $.39 cent "peel 'n' eat" shrimp at Fast Eddies! Maybe even more than the "Hot Chick on a Stick."
