A riding bud of mine just bought a new 2017 Road King Special and would like get a fairing with speakers and infotainment slot/holes.

It's odd, the new 2017 RK Specials don't even have or come with a windshield or mounting hardware for a shield, so he'd rather throw a loaded fairing on it.

This is it...his 2017 Road King Special

 

If the special front ends are the same as the standards, I'm sure he would have fairing and windshield options for the right price.

rk classic.

 

he did mentioned the fork width etc. is non-standard or widened?, not sure where or how to compare specs on that? ...thx

 

Now why would you go and ruin such a beautiful bike with some ugly fairing. Just by a Street Glide dude.

 

You could always measure the width on his King vs yours. If it's the same then just get the mounting brackets.

I'd at least want a shield for those long trips. The wind at highway speeds can get you beat up pretty bad after a while.

 

That's what I told him...if you wanted all that other happy **** why didn't ya go with a SG or RG?

not only the wind, him and his ol' lady are about to become bug munchers too.



he's just trying to "one up" me with the RK Special, ... ain't gonna happen !

 

Was he successful finding a solution?

 

Tell Him to call Reckless and see what they can do.

try Memphis shades

 

Don't listen to the "buy a SG" crew. They just jealous of us that live to ride old school without a windshield. I ride without most of the year, and when I want, I put the windshield on, the lowers on and the tourpak on, mostly for longer trips. Love my King.
