And how does it compare to the Saddlemen Explorer?

I don't know. I'm a Corbin guy. This one was built and shipped to me in 17 days.
Corbins a a bit stiff to begin with, in time they get better.

Whoops, I thought you were @HuntWhenever - I saw the FXRT style fairing and thought it was his modified SportGlide (whuch has a Saddlemen Explorer). Thanks for your response though.

I have a long torso and short arms so I may need to go with the 14". Still up in the air about evils vs gangsters.
yes, 1.25 and 1” at the clamp.
everywhere I looked I kept seeing bikes with miter cut/meat hook style bars, so I felt traditional curved apes was the thing to do with this build.

Dude...my bike is red and looks much better.

(secretly envious of the new FXLRST fairing design )

Three weeks ago I finally got her dyno tuned at a most respectable shop, Hyperformance in Pleasant Hill, Iowa.
After running Power Vision autotune sessions since I installed 33" Bassani True Dual Fishtails (with mufflers) last year, it was time!
Today I made a couple short videos albeit with my old Samsung S9 camera/phone/computer.
Here are their respective links:
I think I was pulling a bit higher RPM in the first video.
Shaky video footage but I think you will like the sound!

Default Turned my 2022 lowrider S into a Lowrider ST



Took the finished product for spin yesterday. this fairing makes it so much more enjoyable to ride really really fast.

Is that the OEM MoCo fairing? What did it set you back?

Yes it is and it is about 2,200 in total if you don’t get the headlight (which is the exact same on all 2022 softails)
