[Fairing for a RSTD?]

I've looked at the previous posts on adding a fairing to a RSTD. I really like the looks of the stratoliner deluxe fairing and was wondering if anyone happened to know how much modification would be necessary to make it fit an RSTD...I've seen the ones that look like a harley fairing, but am wanting a different look...

 

Any input?

 

Thanks!

 

Haven't a clue, but it should look good...like to see pics when done!!

 

Cheers,

 

Paul.

That just aint right, your on the wrong side of the road Paul !!!!

 

Fuzzy

 

But, you see...we have our own private roads over here...there's so much room!!!

 

[My Confession - I'm Not the Typical Rider.]

I agree.....you ride how you enjoy it! Nothing wrong with cruising and taking in the scenery.

 

I like to do the same - but every now and then I have to carve up a few corners...but I do so within my riding ability, and have always thought that the main pleasure derived from a motorcycle is leaning it in to a corner and powering out on just the right line!

 

Also like to cruise in an open top car...not that I own one, but have enjoyed doing that too!...at least a helmet is not required, so you can 'sense' even more....

 

Cheers,

 

Paul.

These are from 08 but I haven't made any changes after the original mount.

 

Those Hyperchargers look real good.

 

I took off the Leg Shields recently and see the problem....I guess if enough time and effort was spent, the 'electrics' etc. on each side could possibly be relocated, but it would take someone with far greater 'ability' then me and therefore no doubt be 'cost prohibitive'!

 

I guess the leg shields help keep the Engine and my Boots clean though eh? hehehe....

 

just don't like th 'Bulky' look of them, but can live with it!

 

Cheers,

 

Paul.

I'm still running those Hyperchargers.

 

Thanks Mate;

 

I guess you could run them without the Leg Shields?

 

This is really what I am trying to achieve. A hyper-charger each side and the shields gone!

 

Cheers,

 

Paul.

I did this modification back in 2009. Bike runs good today averaging between 39 to 45 mpg, I did have the chrome cap on one of the filters fall off, just as another member had mentioned. Glued it back on and had no further problems! Hope this helps!!

Thanks Mate;

 

I guess that's sort of what I want to do, but also take off the whole Leg Shield assembly.

Of course it would mean dry running only but I guess that's what I mostly do these days and have another bike for when it's wet!

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Cheers,

 

Paul.

[i got a feeling.........]

It just means thet you want to have all the enjoyment of being on two wheels, but with some genuine 'practicality' thrown in....nothing 'Granpa' about that!....just good old common sense, which is not usually so common in one so young!

 

Enjoy...

 

Cheers,

 

Paul.

 

[I finally gave in.]

It will be difficult not to be Comfy on the back of that one....

On Delphi forms a few peeps have removed the footballs and placed small cone filters, for a better choice of words, Looked small and cheezey to me, but to each their own.

 

Yeah - I guess there has to be something better than that??

 

Anyway, I think I'll need to think outside the square a little on this one.

 

Cheers and Thanks,

 

Paul.

G'day All;

 

I notice that there was a thread on this subject where PGunn decided to try fitting Hypercharger Air Filter Units to his bike. This was back in 2008.

 

Has anyone actually 'eliminated' the existing system and found a new, less 'Bulky' alternative as yet?

 

Cheers,

 

Paul.

[Ride Around the Lake-Great Day!]

Great Stuff;

 

Pics?

 

Cheers,

 

Paul.

 

Jan and I had a wonderful day on the bikes!

 

We rode with a group today and made the loop around the Great Salt Lake. We rode 425 miles today with stops at Promontory Point National Historical Site. Then on to Wendover, Nevada and had a great buffet dinner at the Rainbow Casino.

 

We reached some milestones along the way. Jan broke in her new tire, in a big way. She showed some increased confidence in the corners, after her accident a couple of years ago.

 

Also, Jan eclipsed 10K on her Sportster, all but 900 miles by her.

 

Beautiful day!

[Just curious, How many Wing Riders do we have on the site?]

Yep;

 

I'm one!

 

Cheers,

 

Paul.
