Very nice bike.
I think if you go Street Glide, you'll wish you had this one back.

Nice looking bike, but since you blacked it out that much, why not finish it with the black console kit, black left and right gas caps, black light trim, and black turn signal housings?

Love your larger fairing. Need to do something to improve the wind management at speed on my sport glide. I put a 12" slipstreamer windshield on last year and it's still not doing the job.

I know it's subjective but how do you think the black fairing would look on my twisted cherry bike? I realize I can get it painted but probably wouldn't until next riding season. It gets cold here.

How difficult was relocating the signals?

Do you feel a huge improvement over the stock fairing?

Thanks

I don't think the MS fairing is going to look so bad you wished you never bought it. You can also paint it twisted cherry later or vinyl wrap it.

Signals are easy-ish to relocate. You need to pull the wires out of the handlebar.... Might take an hour or so from start to finish.

I feel an enormous improvement over stock fairing with stock windshield or 5.5" or 10" windscreen (I would have returned the MS fairing otherwise).
At first i had very annoying buffeting (at 30+ mph) because of air coming from under the tank. This is due to the negative pressure created by the batwing (Street Glide has fairing vent since project rushmore to combat that).
It all disappeared when I installed HD soft lowers because they blocked most of the air coming from below.
I can now ride with FF helmet with visor up until i reach 50mph then close the visor at higher speeds. That makes riding with FF helmet in town or at lower speed very comfortable especially when it's warm/hot weather.
