How hard is it to change a batwing fairing to a road glide fairing?

It's very easy you go to the dealer pick the one you want give them your bike sign on the dotted line and ride the new bike home. So you have a new bike payment it's only money.

Different fork arrangement too I believe. HD states that the FLTR is the only touring bike with the forks behind the steering head down tube. (If I'm not mistaken).

Probably better to buy a new one. I believe the frames are a bit different.

The frames and forks are the same.
There have been a few threads about bat to shark and shark to bat.
It just takes time and monry.

the frames are the same, some folks have done it before on this site. Time consuming and a little costly. But might be a fun winter project
