Too bad they don't have a Bullet fairing that had a white tint, for my white bike.

Hey folks, I know this is an old post, but I am looking into this product, and wondering if there is any more current information on it? I need something for long rides with a passenger and I think I like the looks of this one.

I have a 2011 Fatboy Lo with Street slammer bars (shouldn't be an issue) but I also have swapped out the stock headlight for the Freight Train nacelle and I am wondering if it will still work. As I understand it, that nacelle and light is actually bigger, sized for a Roadking or something.

Thanks for any help!

I doubt it will fit that headlight. Wabbit.

Just talked to the MS lady and she said that they won't guarantee the fit with that nacelle, which is a real bummer. I wonder if it can be adjusted to fit? Any idea where the problem would be?

That does look good!
But you have the stock headlight assembly, don't you?
I have the freight train, which may be a problem.

How does it affect wind fatigue? Any helmet buffetting?

I agree with Skitzer. IMO opinion, some models just weren't designed with windshields, fairings, & safety bars in mind. Fat Boy, Slim, Softail Custom, Springers with the narrow front tire, Breakout & Wide Glides come to mind. I'm guessing whoever designed those models was thinking of a stripped down, or chopped look, not a bike to dress up. Of course, this is coming from a guy who never met a fairing he liked, haha. But, hey, once you own a bike, its yours & you're entitled to do what you want with it.

Yours looks different from the others. I think the mounting is different.
Do you have part numbers for everything you have?

it keeps alot of wind off your chest and for me I'm 5'8" the wind hit me in the top of my face shield on my helmet.
So it helps alot with fatigue as your not fighting the wind as much as without it.

When I bought mine a couple years ago, I got it from dennis kirk? I think, install was easy as pie.
you can see how it looks here: https://www.hdforums.com/g/album/773946

hope that worked.

the only thing I see you would run into is the fit on your headlight.
