Default Fat Bob headlight conversion/fairing

Hey guys

i had a quick question!
I was wondering if anyone has done a headlight conversion for their Fat Bob. If so, what size and was the mount/installation simple?

i was also wondering if anyone has a fairing on their Fat Bob and if so how it helped with the wind and which one you used (single headlight or dual). I'm looking to add a fairing to mine in the next month!

thanks in advance !

2014 Fat Bob, dual headlight with Phil Birch fairing. Definitely helps with the wind. I've been comfortable on this at 110mph+. At that speed you need to tuck down a bit. At lower speeds (c.70/80/90) I'd say it takes somewhere around 20-30 mph off the "wind feel" if you know what I mean. For fairness of comparison, I normally wear a full face helmet.
