OK, I've been thinking pretty seriously about a Road Glide, but after checking with the stealer, I won't take that kind of beating on my King. Really, though, I love howmyKingsits and rides, I just think the frame mount fairing would be a better setup than the bar mounted one. That got me thinking - could a RG fairing go on a King? Has anybody done it? It looks like it wouldn't be that hard of a job, and I found a used RG fairing already complete with gauges, radio, speakers and all mounting hardware. If anybody has done this or looked into it, I would really like to hear about it. Thanks.

 

I'm going to have to revoke your membership in the ELITE Batwing Society if you keep talking jibberish!!![&:] Put the pipe down!!! I repeat, put down the crack pipe!

 

That machine in your post looks like perfection on wheels. Why mess with it?

Ahhh . . . fairing envy. It was bound to happen.

 

I know, I know, I have to mess with something - it's a sickness[sm=guilty.gif]. I'm just finishing my 02 King (pics to come SOON) and I think I will go through withdrawl if I don't start something else. Maybe a new bobber HMMMMMMMMMMMM![sm=smiley2.gif]

 

I would think you would just need the mounting hardware for the shark nose. You wouldn't need the instrument pod for the RG since your King has the Speedo on the tank. I think it would be a cool project. Would love to see the RG fairing done up in that paint scheme you have.

DO IT MAN!

 

Well with the fact that there have been a few batwing to shark nose faring swaps, don't see why starting from scratch would be that hard. It would probably require some creative wiring though.

 

That's the cool thing about the fairing I found - it has all of the mounting brackets and everything. It really looks like a cool project, and the fact that the guys at the local Harley shop said it couldn't be done (You're much better off to trade[sm=forgetit.gif]) makes it that much more appealing!

 

Come on in the waters fine! Says the shark nose!!!

 

There have been at least two (if not more) folks on this forum do simialr conversions.

The process and even parts list is here somewhere. Do some searches & see if you can find them.

Wasn't Harley711 one of them? I can't remember for sure....
