I don't recommend the hoppe fairing!! I own one. I ended up having to remove the connector for the stereo and then drill a new hole and mount it in it's new position. Where Hoppe installed it was right on top of the triple trees. I also ended up drilling new holes into my windshield bracket and putting on the Baron's DT risers so that I could get the fairing to sit back on the bike properly with the right amount of slope back. I don't think the Hoppe is worth what I paid. Now this is just my opinion but if I was doing it over again despite that you have to do some fab work I would buy a used harley fairing and make it fit. Mainly for the sheer fact that so many companies make after market parts for the harley fairing. I can purchase a new windshield for my harley for about $32.00 that same windshield through hoppe is about $60 and hoppe is the only one who makes them. So I have no choice.

Go to www.Rifle.com. They have just prduced a new fairing for the Roadstar.
Looks pretty good.


Greysnake, am I missing something or is the back of that Rifle fairing totally bare and undone? Is that the way it comes? That's pretty ugly.

I couldn't see anything on that site that led to options etc.. Am I just missing it?

hey guys for those that want to purchase a fairing from open wide custome....I purchased it and received it already. It's not as hard to install at all I will take pictures of processure of mounting it. I'm just waiting for my hard bags to come in so I can paint it all at one time....before you know it.... it's going to be a different looking bike.
