I just got a 2013 Roadking Classic. I was debating an aftermarket fairing for the colder months. Which of the aftermarket fairings look like OEM in terms of their appearance and how they fit on the bike?

Also, do they fit that same as OEM in terms of position, angle, etc? Any difference in buffeting?

Will they for with Heritage bars?

My two previous bikes had fairings and I wanted a bike with no fairing, but thought the ability to add a quick detachable fairing could be the best of both worlds.

Thanks,
Ken

 

A buddy of mine runes the Dead Center fairing on his 07 RK and loves it. I know there are quite a few options out there, so I would suggest a lot of research. I personally had a Woody's Fairing on my VTX prior to buying the Street Glide I now ride and the craftsmanship on his are 2nd to none. However, that's the only one I personally have experience with.

Here's my 2010 RKC with a Dragonfly Fairing

 

I have a Reckless on my 2010 Road King.

None of the aftermarket fairings I have seen look exactly like stock. I assume patent infringment may keep the aftermarket from doing exact copies.

For what its worth I really like my Reckless fairing.

 

Walked into a dealer and seen a RK witht the Memphis Shade batwing on it and bought the bike the next day. Yeah, I like it.

 

Thanks for the replies.
It seems like there are quite a few good aftermarket companies out there making these. It doesn't matter to me if they do not look exactly as stock. It is more important to me that they fit good and don't create any unwanted turbulence or buffeting.

I have a woodys and love it. Fit and finish second to none. Buddy bought eBay one and took a lot of time and finish work to get to the point where Glenn ships his. Search and you will find the top ones. Good luck

Here's a pic of my 2007 RK with a tsukau fairing and Heritage bars. The tsukau fairing itself isn't bad, but the audio stuff that came with it is junk. I had to re-do all of the connectors right off the bat, then a few weeks later ripped everything out and put better stuff in.

 

Got one on my 08...loving it!!!!
