Default custom fairing for 2014+

Is anyone making custom fairings for 2014 street glides?
Thinking of getting a new bike but I can't stand the look of that vent.

Not seen any.

There ain't nothing wrong with the vent... think of it more as a hood scoop on a muscle car.

Genius! I'll use a dryer vent tube to route the airflow to the intake. Do they make those in chrome?

Seriously though. I need to do some research. Now I'm wondering if an aftermarket rear fender exists. Not sure what all changed in 2014. Might have to wait this one out.
Thanks Brother.

I like the look of the vent. It does give it a bit of a muscle car feel.

Top Shop (extended saddlebags.com) is making new fairings for the 2014s. Also check out choppedbaggers.com for ideas.

I don't know if I like the vents looks or not. But 1 thing I "DO" like is how well it works, and if it works well, Im in.

Also, I like being able to tell from a front view whats a "new" bike, and whats the "old" stuff.

I HATE the way my taller then stock windshield looks too......but it works....whatcha gonna do.

I think it'll grow on ya.

Like Rustrtal said, consider buying a RK. The difference in price may pay for the add-on fairing. It looks like Hoppe has one on Dennis Kirk for $1700 (+ the cost of paint). Like you said though, I think it'll grow on you. I personally don't think the aftermarket fairings look as refined, but that's my opinion.
