Figured it was time to share what i have going on... i loved my old fairing but it was just a bit too big for me and would not allow me to really cut turns hard... so after i sold my touring setup i went back to the drawing board... the fairings i have found on the market are just too small. so i tracked down a 70's rifle sport fairing and fell inlove... yes it is ugly but i have not started on it.
My wife and I just had another child so i am not in the shop very late anymore so i brought my bike home to build in my home shop to allow me to be close and still get stuff done... here is the plans
Fairing: keep as LIGHT as possible, all quick release, 6"compontent stereo glassed in inner fairing, USB charging port, GPS dock, Iphone mount, radar detector, fiberglass stock turn signals in
Bags: FLH bags, move the mounts inside the bag to allow me to move the bags as close to the rails as possible. glass the inside for support, remove the stock mounts and use police style hinges and locks
brakes: braided lines, brembo front, shave and powder the rear and front calipers
Rotors: still not sure
Floorboards: Moving my floor boards back 2" and down 1" so custom mounts and shifter/brake will have to be fab'd up
shocks: possible air ride with bash guard and/or nose cone
here is where i stand so far.. being that i have a 17month old at home and now a 2 week old, things will go slow but i will updated as i go!
sample tags shot to send to painters all over the place to try and match... my money is on Dave from Davocustoms on here
quick mock up
possible idea for brake as i do have 300mm 11.8 rotors
Thank you to Richard at HD Custom Fab for the custom derby cover
already 3 toned it to match the bike
stereo gear and some of the rings i will use to fiberglass the inner fairing:
my home shop manager hard at work:
saddle bag option #1
option #2
how they would stick out normally
how they will ride when i am done
removed all the hardware, rats nest, rust, gunk, etc off the fairing to prep for mods
marked the areas to be filled in
saved all the stock trim, and cleaned that up
Before:
After: (back to black is awesome stuff)
started the mounts for the fairing
