Nice Hot Rod, looks really for action just standing still. Has an SOA vibe to it. Almost makes me want to dump my twin lites on the Fat Bob and run this type of faring.

How do you like those turn style mirrors? Do you need to add a load EQ to run them?
I had it with the stockers, they did a nice job of denting my tank.

did you had to cut out a bit on the sides of the fairing so it would hit the tank? I will have to do that with mine.

Fantastic looking bike! Well done.
100% cosmetic. The way mine is mounted the top of the fairing is about mid chest level. But i really dont notice any additional wind on my upper body.

Most guys would not appreciate the SOA reference, but I am damn proud to have my bike compared to those.

Yeah I had to run a load Eq, but i also have the LED integrated lights in my plate bracket, and an LED tail lamp as well. So im not sure if the bike would be ok just with the front mirrior blinkers or not.

YeahI actually had to trim about half an inch out of each side all the way up so at full lock it wouldnt hit my tank. The way it is there is about 1/4'' clearance on both sides now. But i will say i didnt use the head lamp relocation bracket that ness sent, i felt it looked like the fairing was hanging off the front end of the bike. It took a fair amount of trial and error to get it right with the turn signal clamps and all...
