Hey bartish
All the fairings you listed are quality choices.
I went with a Wide Open Custom fairing because of features versus cost.
The Harley batwing is a good way to go, because of all the aftermaket items you can use on them. You can get a good deal on outer, and inner HD fairings on eBay if you just keep watching. You'll then need to build brackets to fit it to the Roadstar.
You can check out this link, and do a search to find a lot of good info on fairings.

Coach Dan is right on. I have the hoppe and I over paid. There are other fairings out there that are just as good for less money. I have seen the WOC fairing and it's very nice. If I had it to do over again I would find a used harley fairing. There are options that you can buy for a harley fairing that will not fit any other. Which is why I wish I had waited and done more research before making my purchase. Corbin's fairing is ok everything about Corbin is over priced. So just my 2 cents from someone who has been there and done that.

I went with the older HD batwing fairing. The brackets were super easy to modify to fit the road star.
Cost: $160 for the fairing, $50 for new windshield, $150 for paint.
I did not think I wanted a radio but there are times that it would be nice.

I don't remember exactly what years the old batwing fairing was used but I think up through 1984. It is just the outer shell. The inner was not available until later years. I pretty sure mine came off a 1977 model.
It came complete with the mounting bracket, had to cut a little off and drill 2 holes.
Here is a picture.

I would go with the later style fairing buy both inner & outer 1991-2008 any electra glide, street glide or ultra classic. Do not purchase anything that is for Road Glide, totally different fairing. You can expect to pay between $300-500.00. Once you have a fairing that has a stereo to listen to you will not ever want to go back to a fairing without one.
