I second the Rifle roadster fairing....
It comes with mounting hardware....and you can choose from 3 heights of shield.
Dr V-twin has a great price on them.

Thanks I'll take a look at the rifle. I've read a lot of problems with mounting the ness fairing so the rifle could be a resolution.

You can get the handguards from any dirt bike shop you would just have to make your own mounting brackets i'd imagine..I have them on my dirt bike and they cut off all the hand chill which would be nice for the cold weather riding

it's a ness. They look great but the fit/finish and mounting leaves alot to be desired. For that price and his reputation you'd think Ness would step their game up a little and make a better quality setup..I passed on it and did the H-D 1/4 fairing. Easier to mount and remove, very sturdy = no flapping at triple digit speeds, adjustable and cheaper. I'll totally admit it doesn't look as sharp as the Ness, but function over form makes me happier.

Might be a strange question, but has anyone installed one of these fairings with ape hangers? I love the fairing but not sure how it would look on my bike.

Thanks

Yeah i have the HD right now and i hate the way its mounted..It has the quick detach which is nice but it faces downwards and sticks out a few inches passed my forks and looks goofy..It also doesnt block the wind very much I'm not sure if its the way it is mounted or not? I've seen a few bikes that have clamps going around the fork tubes straight to the fairing brackets maybe that would help.

I like the look of the Ness fairing but was not happy with it. It was a little flimsy. How well do they deflect wind? Would you do a cross country with one on or would you opt for a windsheild?

How easy is it to remove and reattach the RIFLE fairing using there hardware? Has anyone tried to use a quick disconnect off an HD windsheild? How much wind protection does it give?

I think it is a Ness fairing as well. I've installed a few of the Ness fairings over the years. The one in the picture looks like the narrow glide one. The wide glide one seams to be a little wider as the bottom needs to clear the wide glide fork tubes and the Dyna specific ones look really wide. As for mounting I've always made my own bracket the Ness ones leave a lot to be desired and to get the wind to flow over my head i usually move the head light and fairing up and out about 4 inches. The fairing is also so flimsy that you can greatly manipulate the width of the fairing with mounting brackets. I use four points to mount them and its solid up into the triple digits.
