You can build your own as I did. It does take a bit of fabrication skills. The basic construction is this. Take a OEM RK windshild, outer fairing and inner fairing. Clam shell the inner and outer on either side of the RK windshield. With some cutting and sanding of both sides to the fairing you can get it all to fit quite nicely. With this design you are stuck with the orginal windshild and it can't be changed. But you have a stock HD look sans guages. I have an amp and speakers I use with my iPod. The guage pods are just filled in. You could easily add addtional speakers if you chose to.
This was kinda what I was thinking about, although I hadn't thought about sandwiching a windshield between the 2 halves. You ended up with something that looks pretty much stock there, which is what I wanted.
Does anyone know if the factory inner fairings are plastic or fiberglass?

Very curious and want to bump this. Thinking about putting an old FLH fairing on my 04 RK. It's like yours in respect to the big 4" tach gauge on the bars. I'm hoping that an old shovel fairing will allow the gauge to stay right where it is, and can be modified to fit easily. I don't know yet, maybe someone does. There is one local I'm hoping to check out this week.

Inner and outer late model fairings are plastic, not fiberglass.
