Got a few more parts, windshield, Well nut kit, and speaker grills. The rest of my ebay items should all be here by Friday. I talked to Kutter today and they are going to sip my order minus the right turn signal mount either today or tomorrow.

I should be able to start next the conversion next week, I will do a little every evening after work, and I should be riding a road glide by next weekend.

Once I sell my batwing and accessories I will order my paint

Starting to take shape, still need my windshield gasket, but thats coming with my Kutter order.

If you are looking for an American Speedo I have one for sale from a 2012 RG Ultra.

I am reusing the ones from my EGC.

So far I haven't had real good luck with my eBay purchases. The tall oem ultra shield came cracked, I did get a full refund. And my headlights were supposed to have a bezel with them, and it was not in the box. I reached out to the seller, but haven't heard anything back yet.

One nice thing, amember on the RG.org site gave me a taller shield for the cost of shipping, I guess you can't beat that.

I am assembling the fairing as the parts arrive, it is really starting to look like a road glide. - my kutter order should ship any day now! So I am guessing this will be my last weekend riding a batwing bike.

Headlights are in, bra is on. My kutter order was shipped, and should have it Monday or Tuesday.


Bought one of those black chrome shields, and it got scratched when I was test fitting the bra, kind of a bummer. I will just paint it solid black.

Getting there! Looks awesome, I am deeply considering this conversion, I made the mistake of sitting on a new roadglide this week while out on road trip with my wife. Coming originally from a softail standard, the openness and space of the roadglide fairing is very appealing. I think my street glide will likely end up getting shark bit next winter, I have engine an suspension work planned for the upcoming year.

Not gonna touch that dial!

How mechanically inclined does one have to be to pull off this job? Would love to do it rather than buying the 2015.
