Great news! I would love to have one on my bike in time for Christmas!

After reviewing them again I am torn, they both look great. Quick Detach would be sweet if it didnt jack up the price.

The FatBob is such a mean bike that is big on function, its perfect for the outlaw style look. Cant believe nobody has released a solid fairing option yet. First guy that makes a solid 1/4 fairing for the FXDF is going to be a wealthy man, I know a lot are interested.

I beginning to think that the front end of a FB shouldn't be covered up with a fairing.
The front end of the bike has a look all of its own, why cover it up?

I like the scowl but think that it should come to a point in the center.

Here's an update from DougZ... (Just passing on the info that he distributed to his email list). I think it's going to look slick once its painted. He did a great job translating everyone's vision into a product.

from Doug:
"This should give you all a good feel for what it looks like installed. The fairing is just sitting there not fastened to anything in these images. I think it is proportioned correctly being about 1/2 inch narrower than the gas tank on each side and the top of the fairing is about 1.5 inches higher than the mirror heads leaving a nice 'line' for the eye to follow. I've included an image of my drop-dead gorgeous carcass sitting on the bike so you can see how the lines of the fairing look with a rider on board. I'm 6 feet nuthin' so you can estimate how things will lay out with your body structure. Now on to creating the mounts..."

Looks great. Will it have a detachable windshield so you can put a taller one on?

Ever since someone mentioned tweetie bird that's all I see now. If I bought one I think I'd have to paint it yellow.
