Looks like I will take a closer look at the Dragonfly or some of the others. I may ask my local dealer out of curiosity what it would cost to change out the uppers on my fork tubes and get a factory fairing just for a comparison in pricing. But it sounds like from you all that my initial idea might be a little far fetched.  |
I don't think there is ANYTHING you can change (within reason) to get the factory fairing to bolt on your Fatboy. The factory batwing fairing bolts on through a cast in mounting boss on the upper and lower cast iron trees (FLHT type), which are physically wider than those on your fatboy. I too came off a batwing equipped bike ( a 92 ElectraGlide), and it makes it a tad easier to rack up the miles. I looked into the Dragonfly unit, and both talked to their reps and looked it over pretty closely. To me, it most resembles a factory fairing. Their fairing does not QD, but used 2 bolts ea side to attach. Not too much headache to R & R. I personally think the ones with the extra speakers ea side are too much (Hoppe Quadzilla) but to each his /her own. The Dragonfly is the one I'D buy it i had the coin laying around. JMO
