Now all the Harley riders wave at me then stare at the motor as they pass; Goldwings don't wave now.

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

I like it when they wave about 5 car links ahead of you but when the get near they see its not a HD. Then they looked pissed that the waved.  2funny You got pix?

That batwing fairing looks good Ramjet (I saw it a few weeks ago), where's the picture? Cheesy

Looks good on a Valk.

I'm working on the same project. Pics and suggestions as to mounting points would be appreciated.

Happens to me all the time.  It's fun to see the puzzled look on their face as they are trying to figure out what they just met!

Nice looking bikes! cooldude

Chevy, I never thought of putting a Road Glide fairing on. No that is different.

Mine is more like Ramjets, but with a short shield.

Now how bout some picks of the insides. How did you handle the speedo/tach and how did you mount your fairings. What type of hardware.?
Thanks.

Do your bikes vibrate more and leak a bit of oil now? Grin

Bought fairing off Ebay from a wrecked HD.  I molded in four bolts into the inside of the fairing for attachment, made my own brackets from aluminum and attached to the forks using the existing Memphis Shades fork mount brackets.  Bought two Küryakyn clamps, mounted on handlebars and made two brackets to attach to bolts that hold windshield to fairing.  No modifications to tach or speedo.  Will post pictures when I have a chance.
