I like the Deviant fairing because he offers a 'FXRD' style with the glove boxes etc already in there giving it the more finished look. But I think it was mentioned earlier in this thread, his mounting hardware/bracket isn't as good as some of the others?
From reading through this so far:
BMC offers a complete kit with everything you need, but its the most expensive
Deviant has the fairing with glove boxes already installed, but according to some the bracket isn't the best (aluminum?)
JD seems to be the cheapest (JD's + a Moons MC headlight would still be the cheapest option and a 'complete kit' if you but the bucket and trim ring from JD), but it doesn't have glove boxes.
Also, seems like bikes in this thread are usually setup 2 ways:
FXRT fairing, lowers, clamshells or FXRT fairing and T-Sport bags. Anyone regret not going all out with the lowers & clamshells? I'm trying to get this right the first time around..

After riding today with the Gauntlet fairing I think I really want one of these fairings. I've heard wind protection is awesome and feels like your in a calm air pocket. With the 2 up seat on since the wife was riding with me, it sat me up a little higher and felt like I was getting beaten up even with my quarter fairing.
Guess it's time to start pinching pennies and decide the best one to get. I really like the FXRD but use JD's brackets.

Joe (Deviant Fabrication) has come up with a completely new design for the fairing bracket that works very well, I have a prototype and a production model and they are pretty slick, not at all like the big hokey block of aluminum that he used to make.
I have installed 2 of them and I like them a lot.
