Default Reckless Motorcycles Batwing on Fat Bob
Finally got my fairing install finished. Worked out awesome in my opinion. I think I ended up having right around $1050 in it total. Ordered the fairing to fit a Road King and just had to cut the brackets it came with down and drill some new holes to attach the quick detach bracket from my windshield. Initially bought a fatboy style headlight but it didn't stick out far enough so I ended up with a King Cobra 7 inch light from Ebay for $135. Now if I could just find someone to machine me some nice FatGlide emblems. LOL.

Wow, that really came out great. Fantastic job. One question, does it obstruct your view much? Just looks positioned high?

Not bad, I've actually lowered the front end about an inch since the picture was taken. The rear end was already lowered so the front of the bike looked taller to begin with anyway. Had to lower it due to some unwanted wind buffeting. Will try to get some pics on here with the front lowered.

I'll be honest and say I don't like it. looks too big on the front to me. It isn't my bike though, so enjoy it.

Personally not a huge fan of the Batwing fairings. I'll bet it really blocks the wind though...

Looks good man, I just put a Tsukayu fairing on my Street Bob and love it. I love being able to have some wind protection and jam out to music at the same time. Like already stated some don't like the batwing, but it's not for everyone. But mine grew on me after the install
