It is mounted at the engine guard in two places, and I made a bracket that goes from the fairing bracket plate to the frame. You can see the plate in the bottom pic. If I have the chance I may tack-weld a small piece of steel to the front of the frame where the fork pivots, and make another bracket to mount to the plate.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #496650 polishdog (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1088 Re:Road Glide fairing finally installed 12 Months ago   rphazen wrote: polishdog wrote: Not sure if I like it yet, still on the fence. It might just end up on ebay... that way I can get hard bags and maybe duals! 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. Went for a nice ride today, and it seems to be growing on me. I adjusted the fairing, it was too far forward. It definitely makes for a nice ride, feels pretty solid. Not really sure what buffeting is; I can feel wind when I ride, the windscreen is pretty short. But it's still 10x easier than riding with no fairing or windshield at all. When I ride through the canyon I can tell there's crosswinds, and the bike rides nice and straight. With the windshield I did feel like I was tossed around a bit. I think I'm going to keep it. Just need to find an inexpensive stereo. Already got about $800 invested.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #496651 polishdog (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1088 Re:Road Glide fairing finally installed 12 Months ago   B L U E wrote: polishdog, That thing looks Shaaaweeet Thanks!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #496653 polishdog (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1088 Re:Road Glide fairing finally installed 12 Months ago   Sergeant Cee USMC wrote: polishdog wrote: Stevie wrote: 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 Poishdog: I see you are in Tustin, I am in L.A. maybe I could see your ride up close. No problem, however, I am no longer in Tustin, we moved about 20 miles south; now in Rancho Santa Margarita. Not far from Cook's Corner. Let me know when you want to see it. I wouldn't mind checking out your saddlebag setup, something I would like to get, real soon.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/05/28 14:50 By polishdog.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #496657 Rev.

BTW you did a great job there.   Logged     http://www.patriotguard.org/ http://myroadstar.webs.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access.
