I realize this post is three months old but just to add to this thread,I stopped at their shop in Tn. in Oct. I bought one for my 2000 softail(the two 6 1/2 " speaker model),they are full fibreglass,smooth and primed outside finish,cutouts are clean.They do make them right there at their shop.They also make hard bags.Fitment on mine was close to spot on,I did have to file two holes slightly slotted to fit. I have run the bike for a month now and have had no problems.(no vibrations and no rattles) Great to have my road tunes again.There is a pic in my "Garage"

Another option is to find a fully loaded Dragonfly (or other top brand)...with a scratch or two (or completely crashed like the one I found for $350), do a little fiberglass work, paint, etc. and have a $2k fairing for less than $1k (easily). You have read the opinions and reviews...you know what you're getting...so I'll spare you any heavy opinions one way or the other. Well, except for the tried-and-true "you get what you pay for".
I am sure it will LOOK great...that's all I'll say about that.
Have fun.

I put one on a friends RoadKing standard end of last season...w/6x9
It's a decent unit, needed a little cleanup work to be paintable...I didn't care for the plastic trim they use on the inner but, all in all, It looks good and fit good...we'll see how it last over the long haul.
We had to adjust the handlebars back a little...they hit the 6x9 grills (which were huge)
Bike isn't close enough to me to take pics...

Or - and take it from a past irresponsible spender, don't buy anything until you have those f-ed up credit cards paid off! It's criminal what the banks have done (and still do) with consumer credit while the slime on Wall Street continue to pull-in 7-figure "bonuses" (on top of a $300k-$500k++ salary minimum) and Mom and Pop on main street can't buy groceries. Meanwhile, we ignore the reverse brain-drain while kids from other countries (you know the ones) come here, take our premium education, go back to their countries, and build companies that will eventually put our best companies out of business. BUT hey, we have a f*&%ing McDonald's on every corner at least! Uuughhh.
Sorry, I digress...ha.
Later.
