The FXRT / FXRP "Style" Dyna Fairing Thread
#491
This thread really helped me pull the trigger on doing a RT fairing on my 94 FXLR, so I figured i’d post it. Did a pretty big overhaul on the bike last year. Just need to figure out some front turn signals. Alpine halo single din stereo with a floating screen. Really happy with the way this bike turned out. BMC fairing and lowers

I like how you've mounted the gauges so you can see the Alpine stereo with a floating screen (I had to Google it) as well. What size is the screen? 9" or 11"? I assume you measure diagonally? You said it was an RT fairing but would look great on an RD fairing with the gauge housing to block the sun too.
I saw someone on Insta... that had a clip with two GoPro cameras screen in screen one front-facing and the other rear-facing and thought that'd be pretty cool to have displayed in real-time AND recording at the same time. Plenty of shitty drivers round my way.
I'll see if I can find it again and maybe it's possible to link it here by editing.

it turned out great!! forgot to mention that the lowers were super sized for some reason from BMC. I ended up cutting them smaller with an air saw lol. very scary. did the same with my clearview windshield to clear my bars. the risers are 9” forbidden brand, i just flipped the top clamp upside down to be able to mount the gauges that way. I think i have to agree with you about the RD fairing, i think they’re a nicer setup. Ill have to check out that gopro on instagram, the account is private. The stereo is a 10” diagonally and it’s an ILX-259 but i think it’s discontinued.. here’s the link anyways.

Thanks! That's brilliant. I have the same risers and managed to buy an extra set of Forbidden Motors risers top clamps with the adapters to be able to run the gauges already. I'm gonna run a single gauge positioned like yours and then hopefully try out something similar to the Alpine stereo. Gotta make sure it's rated 'maritime' to be able to survive heavy rain.
Again, a big thank you for the additional pics, I'm stoked at how good it looks

Deviant Fairing.... issues!
This reply was for Trvegiibz
I'm in the same boat. Bought a Deviant Fairing just before they stopped making them. The "air foil" they sent is crap. I noticed you have a windshield on yours that was not from Deviant. Can I ask where you got it, and what part number it is? I'd like to get one, but it seems that I can't find any reference to exactly which one will fit. The owner of Deviant said all FXRT windshields will fit.. But he also said the lowers would fit without issue... (Like F--K! They DO NOT fit) And that there would only be "Slight" modification required... Well, if milling the triple trees is Slight.... You know what I am saying!
Any help from a fellow Deviant would be welcome.

my 08 with perfect fairing fxrt and jd fab light pods... i previously had devfab and not to beat a dead horse but stay away from them as far as possible. joe will tell u anything u wanna hear till u start having problems and trust me u will have problems.... first problem was the directions you get its a bunch of pics, second is actually getting the mounts to work. we had to refab every mount sent minus the main mount. even the main mount put the fairing pointing up. then the light cover looks like a monkey made it. you pay extra to get molded injection ummm nope its fiberglass, when i called joe out thats when he no longer wanted to communicate with me. so just my experience with this take it or leave it
How did you get the LED Passing lights to fit? I have the Deviant Fairing.. Yes I know... I had the same LED halo passing lights in my original set up, but with the light pods and gaskets that came with them, they are too big to allow the lights into the fairing. Did you find a work around, or new gaskets?

Hello, I didn't had issue with the triple tree, only with the adjutable bracket they provide for lateral support i had to put it downward.
The windshield is a klockwerks 12" windshield, you will have to enlarge the hole for the windshield and create a new one. Not all windshield fit you will find your info in the klockwerk site.
That's true i had to adjust nearly everything to fit this bitch

My FXD/RT setup is a real mutt - I have a Conley's fairing, JD pursuit pods, USA Biker lowers, an old no-name chin spoiler from eBay, and DevFab fairing mounting hardware.
I also have a Kenwood Bluetooth amp tucked inside the fairing with a pair of 5" Polk Audio marine grade speakers.
I love the pocket of clean air that this setup offers and I think it looks alright too, haha! The only changes I plan to make from this point is a windshield with a little recurve for a little more bubble around me and a new headlight cover, as mine is cracked. I also want to replace the DevFab neck adapter with one from JD, because the DevFab one is one of the old cast aluminum ones and it cracked when I tried mount the fairing the first time. I think JD's is a better design and seems more solid than this one.
