Coming from a road glide to Sport Glide, I missed the fairing so much that I order this fairing. I will post some pics as soon as it’s installed on my bike.
I’m excited to have the frame mounted fairing. Good wind protection on a much lighter platform compared to touring models, not to mention much better handling and suspension (especially the rear: I really didn’t like the road glide’s 2” rear shock stroke....)
I think I’ll have the ideal bike for me.

I bought the Wedge Fairing because I wanted something different. I always liked the road glide look and so it was a no brain-er for me.
the fit & finish is very high quality. The buffeting of the wind is greatly reduced. I went with the taller windshield that is offered and I am very pleased with my choice. I can still look over the top of the windshield and I can tuck down for the showers I rode through once so far with it. I get a little wind coming up by the gas tank but it is manageable. I been on I-10. running 80 mph very stable. I have 2 trips later this year...the Stagecoach Cafe in Stockton AL and to Prattville AL for a weekend meeting with CMA fellowship. But most of my riding so far has been around the area I live.
I live in the panhandle of Florida so it is pretty much year round riding weather...

I installed the wedge fairing along with factory hard lowers (not for softail but for touring.... I installed them anyway with minor mods)
I like the look of 12” tinted shield, but I like the wind protection of the 16”.
I cut down the 16” shield by 1 1/8” this eve.
I like how it looks now.
Its a great fairing in my opinion.
Very sturdy, well constructed. It fits like it was custom made for my sport glide.
When I changed the handlebars from street slammer to what I have now, it was very easy to take the fairing off. Just - few bolts n nuts on each side. Wiring to the headlight, turn signals & sound system (I have the blue tooth controller, amp and speakers mounted in it) is an easy connect/ disconnect with HHR wiring harness/ plug that was included in the fairing.
It gives me such a good protection from wind, especially with the lowers. There’s not that annoying air coming up from side of the tank. I’m very happy with the way it looks and functions.
Anyone who’s looking for a great fairing for your non-touring bikes, I highly recommend it!!
