I concur with all of you.
It's time for a fairing and/or a batwing and none of this, "change to a single headlight", BS. I love my Fat Bob for cruzing and ripping around the city which is what I do 95% of the time i spend on it. Once a year I go on a two week tour and would love to ditch the windshield for a batwing. In Canada we run into all kinds of weather and a batwing is ideal. Of course I could of bought a Street Glide or Road Glide but I don't want to drive a heavy, combersome and expensive tourer for the 95% of the round town driving. Saw an aftermarket one on the Fat Boy low and it looked good. The Fat Boy Lo has not been around as long as the Fat Bob so what's the deal? I was at the motorcycle show and i talked to the guys at Memphis Shades and they were not even sure they make one for the Fat Bob and when realized they didn't they said some day we will. Well hey guys!! Get on it!! You'll have at least my money!!
Let's start a petition to the aftermarket companies to get one produced. Let's not petition HD as they will price the dang thing to the moon.

I was thinking one of these rectangular headlight fairings could be modified. I believe Yamaha had some models in the 80's as well. Maybe the Seca II. Most of those have the headlights as part of the fairing. Kinda like the T sport or the HD 1/4. Once you get them mounted in and some fiberglass work, you can fab up your own mounts to get it to sit where you want it.

One of the previous Harley's I had was a XLCR so I am very fimiliar with the HD Cafe 1/4 fairing and well it would be too small and too short for the FXDF. What I am looking at right now is either a Ducati or an after market larger Cafe fairing which has a flatter front section with an opening for a smaller headlight. What I would do is glass in the headlight opening then cut out the opening to fit the Fat Bob duals but this would need to be something larger than the BMW R 90 Cafe fairing to work I think.

I photoshopped a dual headlight fairing for someone a while back.

Looks like the link to the fairing in the other thread is broken, but this link has it. Kinda pricey though.
