That actually looks good on the Roadie. Many years ago I had a bike with a Vetter fairing (remember those?) I never got used to the "fixed" headlight. I have always preferred the fork mounted headlight. Aside from that I thought it was a very functional fairing.

Re:Road Glide fairing finally installed 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
I like it... I actually researched installing one on my bike before I went with the Street Glide fairing... the only reason I didnt put one on my bike, is I could not find one as cheap as I got this batwing for... the Road Glide fairings are expensive! but, still, if I had the chance to do one, I probably would...

The Roadglide look has really grown on me over the years. There been quite a surge in the bagger mags coverage of roadglides. I would think it would cut through the air better with out so much handlebar effort like the windshield or batwing.
Before ya sell it can ya give us a quick review on wind protection, buffeting, etc with the Roadglide fairing. I'm not sure if ya had a windshield, batwing or just neked before.

Have not had it on a long ride yet, just down some local roads. Did not notice a big difference from the windshield. The fairing sits more forward than my windshield; seems like it would be a reach for the stereo controls. I guess that's why they put them on the handlebars.

The more I look at it the more I agree with you, it's ugly as hell, only its mother could love it
you should take it off right away and send it to me, maybe I'll send you my wreckless in return
