I purchased a fairing from Exotic Body Parts (don't Google that while you are at work....LOL) for my 07 Fatboy and it arrived last week. The fit and finish is really good.......hit it with some 400 wet/dry sandpaper and put 2 coats of primer on it last Sunday. I have been cutting holes and building the wire harness while I wait for the rest of the electronics to come in. It looks like EBP cut the brackets using a water jet (edges are sharp) so I sent them out to get deburred and plated.

Hasn't been warm enough to go outside so I took these pics in my basement shop. Pics are the front and inside of the faring along with the power plug harness. I will run the power harness to one side of the terminal block and the other side to the radio. The harness clips (square white things) and the terminal block are bonded in using marine (two part) epoxy. Once the fairing is painted I will bond in the power plug using the marine epoxy.

 

Gonna look good and you'll love it

 

Looks good! Get that sum btch on!!!

 

Yea guys I'm pretty excited.........been planning this since the first of the year, I was going to get a Reckless (completed) but I found these guys on the web and decided to build my own. I liked the idea of putting whatever radio and speakers in it that I wanted.........plus we all like spending time on a winter bike mod! Before this I didn't know you could buy marine epoxy......that is some tough s***t!

 

First of all I wish I had a basement shop! Haha Man its going to look awesome...can't wait to see the pics when you get it buttoned up

 

Bad thing about my basement shop...........can't get the bike in there. Well not in one piece anyway

 

Finished the base and top coat tonight..........I will wait until the weekend before I clear coat anything. I'll know tomorrow in the daylight (if we have any) how close of a match I got. I'm not in too big of a hurry, it'll be a week before the brackets are returned from chroming house.

 

It will be interesting to see how yours evolves - looks great so far and it looks like you nailed the color match pretty well!

Yours has always been very close to mine, but no more. Looks like you'll have your custom done before too long... enjoy!

Hey Tunaman, yea they are still pretty close. I took so many long trips last year and even though I had a MS Batwing on the front I missed having some tunes. This fairing is a little taller and wider so I will get more protection.......lots of rain on those trips Ha Ha!

 

Will this mount directly to the detachable windshield mounts?

Be sure to post pics when you're done.
