BadPigg Posted August 30, 2006 Share #1 Posted August 30, 2006 Has anybody ever heard of a fairing for a RSTD that doesnt resemble anything like a Harley? Other than the Roadglide but thats a frame mounted job . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarley Bill Posted August 30, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 30, 2006 Has anybody ever heard of a fairing for a RSTD that doesnt resemble anything like a Harley? Other than the Roadglide but thats a frame mounted job . i would say the shape of the fairing is pretty much limited,because of the fork mount.the venture fairing is the best looking in my opinion but yuor talking lots of money.

Carbon_One Posted September 5, 2006 Share #6 Posted September 5, 2006 Rifle has some too. Check this link for more info. http://www.rifle.com/ and several other links that may be of interest as well: http://www.hoppeindustries.com/ http://trikeshop.com/index.php http://www.targa-acc.com/main_powersearch.html The above are for the most part bat wing styles that will have to be adapted to the RSTD bikes. Which is probably true for any after market fairing for these bikes. ASt least I know of no company providing a bolt on fairing for the RSTD's or royal Stars. I'm sure it could be done thou as I have successfully adapted a Harley fairing to a Suzuki Volusia Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadPigg Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted September 10, 2006 Whats wrong with a HD? The bikes are fine if that what floats you cork. I'M just a little tired of the "ride, image and the attitude "of the Harley Fashion. And I'm looking for a better design that isnt 20 years old. I'm not really into the retro thing.

Guest Jammin'John Posted October 22, 2006 Share #8 Posted October 22, 2006 Too much "baggage" with the harley lifestyle. I'm a rider not a "profiler" That's why I have a Valkyrie & a Stratoliner. JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SALTY Posted November 13, 2006 Share #9 Posted November 13, 2006 The bat wing is popular as it works well...better than the fairings on our RSV's as it actually gives more hand protection. Thats why most uncluding Hoppe and Dragonfly look that way. The fairing has nothing to do with an indivduals attitude on what ever bike they choose to ride. I have a harley Heritage..(2nd harley now, no leaks or broken down either) and i am not a "profilier " or anything else some of the metric riders like to label them as! If you think about it labelling them is no better than the ones with an attitude. I ride both..mabe Im a metric profiler LOL!! The fairing is functional and no need to upgrade it after all these years as they got most of it right the first time!. Our fairing is a very good design aerodynamically it juts needs about 2" more of width at the top I think. and a better sound system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted November 13, 2006 Share #10 Posted November 13, 2006 Whats right with the HD would be a lot shorter list.LOL! The Bat-Wings do offer better hand protection. Yamaha could take a tip there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely but its hard to do..someone told my form follows function so that probably why the style is still there. i like the one that raised for the radio abit though. Now if i guy ws handy i could see laying some glass to style one for himself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAINEAC Posted January 6, 2007 Share #14 Posted January 6, 2007 Buy a bat wing fairing for your TD and I'll swap you my venture fairing and headlight. Maineyak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dray Posted January 6, 2007 Share #15 Posted January 6, 2007 have you thought of finding one close to what you want and cut it out and lay some glass for the style you want its not that hard and when your done it will be the only one like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAINEAC Posted January 6, 2007 Share #16 Posted January 6, 2007 I've thought about getting a Harley shell and mating it to my fairing. i really don't like the RSV fairing... it reminds me of an ugly windjammer II fairing I had on a 77 G"old" Wing. I tossed around a few Ideas... Getting a quadzilla with 4 speakers and and mounting my audio stuff inside it. I hope to build a garage this year maybe next wintah... Good weather I'm too busy ridin... Doin Bike Week Daytona and maybe Sturgis..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
