Just sold my spare final drive for $400, turned around and bid on a complete I/S fairing on Ebay. Got it with my bid posted in the last eight seconds. Probably won't be here until beginning of next week which gives me time to find a good hiding place for it. Rita thinks I'm nuts....probably right. It comes with mounting brackets and the wiring harness. Re. the wiring, it's going to take some thought on how to adapt it to the Tourer but I've done things much more difficult.
I just like the look of the I/S fairing better than the HD batwing which I now have, seems to have better wind management as well. Going to be an interesting next few months....or years.
I'm not so sure John. I really like my Woodys fairing. I can change windshields out to a different height shield in a minute or two....plus during the winter I can put the Freedom wings back on it for more wind management. Combined with a set of lowers and a set of Bakers, I've got all the wind management I'll ever need. I can block just about all the air, or get every bit of it depending on the time of year.
I thought I read the other day on the General Board that Jabba and his buddy Squealy don't really like the Interstate for that reason. Jabba recently posted a thread on the Tech board about taking his I/S fairing off and converting it to a standard set-up.
I've always liked the way the Insterstate fairing looks myself.....it just seems to fit the bike really well, but I don't have any experience with one.
At any rate, I'd love to see progress pics and pics of the final project when you get done. I'd also love to read your opinions on it once you get it done too.
