Love the review. Best most thoroughly thought out fairing review ever

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Much appreciated! 🗽⚡️

[@MotoBlonde]

I just started thinking about this for my bike - this was very helpful!

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

For the riding you guys do out there, I think it would be a natural progression - Do it and provide us with a solid install video, something I wasn't willing to tackle 😹

[@ridered7394]

I want one for my road king

[@millinutz]

Thanks for sorting my thoughts. I now know I'm gonna get a smaller fairing than I thought I wanted. Probably the Roadwarrior is the biggest one to fulfill my needs. You got this out just in time to prevent me from needlessly spending too much on something I thought I want/need. Dyna greets from Europe, Steve.

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

You got it man, glad I could be of some help here!

That random dude taking a photo of you randomly might have def sold me on the idea of getting one for sure 😂 but I def been loving the fxrt fairing vibe lately

I have only seen one person run it on an FXBB so far, and it looks awesome on that bike!

[@TJ-wn7kc]

@@FXDLSBrooklyn Agreed!

[@nhzxboi]

I'm looking forward to installing a Road Warrior on my '23 FXLRS. However, I do still enjoy my '06 YZFR1 which is pretty naked insofar as wind goes. But somehow, the R1 doesn't seem to be all that much affected by the wind. Different machines for sure and I love them both. The HD is not made for speed, the R1 is even w/o extra wind protection. The fairing isn't the widest part of the machine.

[@vmotobiker]

Great video! I was thinking of getting an FXRT fairing. I'm a total canyon carver. I'm rocking a Mephis Shades Road Warrior. Question with all the FXR fairings out there which fairing in your opinion is more OEM compatible, plug and play no massaging or adjusting....

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

It's hard for me to say because I only have experience with the RWD, check out the video I posted today might answer some questions

[@djdiabetes1679]

How’s the visibility, I had a quarter fairing on mine am looking at one of these, is the visibility looking forward a lot different ?

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

You get used to it for sure, I've had no issues

[@Bluis5445]

He needs to put it on the softail bro. It’s already black and he said it would be cheaper to do so. That dyna needs a white farring.

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

This is a good point cost-wise

[@frankfilippone9679]

One thing I have noticed is you gotta not cheap out and buy a cheap version, go for top quality like the Big Bear Performance or one of the more expensive brands, basically “ You get what you pay for! “ I know one person that had crazy fitment issues and you’re totally right, doesn’t really slow you down spitting but you gotta be more precise! I as you know have bags and a crash bar and I know my width of my bike so well that I could probably split with my eyes closed lol, pretty sure I’m gonna go with the BBP I highly recommend dealing with Kevin at Big Bear performance, the man knows his shit! Don’t cheap out and try to save a few dollars? It will cost you more in the long run!

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Truth

[@fabienmeyer4933]

My fairing is Carbon fiber which is actually lighter than my Roadwarrior. The mounting brackets are where the weight comes from on my setup

[@katrostorm3075]

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Congrats man!

[@burgett707]

That fairing isn’t that wide. I can lane split no problem. Yeah you have to weave a little more but you can mob through traffic

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Yep - The thing that actually made lane splitting harder for some reason was when I put the lowers on - Just something about not having the visibility when you look down there

[@burgett707]

No doubt.

[@christer-c-knee8021]

Great vid. Great info. Thx so much

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

You got it 🗽⚡️

[@h.2372]

I bought the JDcustoms fairing with lowers. Putting it on a FXLRS; needed new bars for clearance. all in with harley barracuda silver paint, it was around 3-4k. It's worth it though if you ride a lot of highway miles.

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Right on and well said - If you're putting in those types of miles at high speeds, definitely worth it

[@MrStarguy]

Was this with stock bars?

[@WestCoastInfluence]

FXRT faring came from the west coast back from the 70s, Cali . Became popular again from the club style scene. Great faring on any Harley

I finally pulled the trigger on one. I’ve been running mine for about a month the cost adds up Quick but to me the The benefits and the purpose of the faring outweigh the cost. I had to upgrade my bars and Fab little brackets for the lowers. I’m just a working class dude. So got the amazon one. It was a gamble that paid off.

South Dakota is pretty open and windy, so that’s a factor. I’m glad I decided to look at your review for this, Lowrider S here I come 🤘🏽

Just put this on a wide glide 3 weeks ago... had to fab a bunch for the brackets but just crushed 3600 miles in the last 10 days... Boise to Daytona before I wore the rear sprocket out. Thankfully your headlight video gave me the insight to fix on the road. Should have done it prior but too excited to crush miles... had a tsport prior and i’ld feel the ride after about 3/400 miles... this fairing is an easy 700 all day... weather permitting haha. Just retired military and this fairing is a must for my country ride, Boise-Vegas-Phoenix-San Antonio-Miami-Daytona-Raleigh-Boston-Buffalo-Chicago-St Louis-Denver-Boise Thanks for the vid man... maybe I’ll catch you riding through NY on Friday. ✊🏾👊🏾✊🏾
