Harley Road King Batwing Fairing Installation Video- Part 4 (Mock Up and Bracket Modification)

[@timwinfield8509]

A tip from an old fiberglass guy. Wax up the screws and run them into the nuts, then use some JB weld or a mix of epoxy and cabisol (available at marinas) and fill around the nut to it's top. Let it all harden overnight before removing the screw. Method 2. Run 5/16 die around the nut, add a fender washer and a red Loctited nut and you're done.

Great ideas. When I do it again, I may try that! Thanks for watching!

[@robtait3401]

This is a good video. Nicely done. Clear and precise.

Those brass nuts on the fairing are pressed in and strip easily. I just replaced mine with blind nuts that slide onto the inside fairing easily and work so much better. Just go buy 6 of them at the hardware store and do away with those brass nuts all together.

[@kalways_kustoms]

I hear you. They are cheap. I might have done something like that but the fiberglass was thin at the mount points, and close to the edges. I really didn't want to run into doing any fiberglass repair, so I left them in place. Thanks for watching!

[@zacksrandomprojects9698]

Braze a piece of flat stock to the side of the nutcert and then fiberglass over the flat stock so the nutcert wont spin

[@kalways_kustoms]

That's a really good idea. May do that on the next one. Thanks for watching!

[@jukeboxheros7021]

I'm thinking of one these, but I don't like how they sit upright and away from the trees. maybe since you're messing with the brackets you could cut into it to create a closer angle? just a thought.

[@kalways_kustoms]

I played around with it quite a bit to get the closest fit without causing any rubbing/cleaning issues. And with it at the angle it is, it deflects the wind really well. Thanks for watching!!

[@jukeboxheros7021]

@@kalways_kustoms I just watched your final episode and it turned out really nice. on the RK's it looks proper. I've seen on the softails not so much. I have a 99 fatboy that I'm considering, but I don't want it to look out of place. some look like this big fairing sitting away from the bike. I figure something out. thanks for responding.

[@kalways_kustoms]

@@jukeboxheros7021 I totally understand what you're saying...

[@tla5859]

Thanks for the video Nate, I've been searching for a fairing for my 19 Road King, thats how I stumbled across your channel. Not easy to visit a store to get a good look at a fairing. Looking forward to see how your TrailerStore brand turns out.

[@kalways_kustoms]

Thanks for watching. I appreciate it!

@Paul Cullen i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@bobbyemory6913]

@Paul Cullen it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my ass!

I put a Reckless XE fairing on my 2018 Heritage. It looks great, but I realized later that the gap between the fairing and the headlight is a lot bigger on one side than the other. How would you recommend trying to fix that? Washers on the bolt? Move the headlight? Possibly a dumb question, this is my first time doing more than adding and removing a windshield. Thanks!

[@kalways_kustoms]

Thanks for watching! Without seeing it, it would be hard to say for sure. You may have to add a spacer to even it out, providing that everything in the headlight area is seated correctly. I've never done anything more than paint a Reckless brand fairing, so I'm not too familiar with their fitment issues. From what I've heard, they are pretty good quality. Wish I could be of more help.....

[@grizzlybear6484]

My question is were your bracket holes predrilled? I'm doing a aftermarket fairing install on my 06 heritage softail. Thanks this video has been inspiring.

[@kalways_kustoms]

Yes, the bracket holes were pre-drilled from the factory. I didn't have to do any altering to the holes, just the slots. Good luck on your Softail. Thanks for watching!

[@ricardomancera352]

What brand handle bars did you install on your Road king? And by any chance you have a part# ?

[@kalways_kustoms]

Sorry, wish I did. I bought them used but never installed off of a friend. But I do know they came from ebay. Wish I had better info for you. Thanks for watching!

[@joseclaudio1670]

where can I get those brackets that go on the fairing?

[@kalways_kustoms]

The brackets came with the fairing. I'm not sure where to buy them separately. Thanks for watching!

[@scottmorical2348]

Do you have the mounting bracket part number?

[@kalways_kustoms]

There is no part number. The bracket comes with the fairing itself when you buy it. Thanks for watching!

[@alarry31]

Any issues with it sitting that low on the headlight

[@kalways_kustoms]

I haven't had any issues. There is just enough clearance so nothing rubs. Thanks for watching!

[@dadams9637]

Do you have any problems with your fairing shaking from the vibration from the motor???

[@kalways_kustoms]

Not at all. Everything is tightly secured, so much so that the fairing is one with the bike. The fairing does vibrate with the bike, but I haven't had any issues because of it. Thanks for watching!

[@dadams9637]

@@kalways_kustoms thanks Buddy! Your vids are very helpful

[@tripleshot43gaming37]

I added one of These and my brackets aren’t lining up having to use a lot of spacers any ideas to fix

[@kalways_kustoms]

What model? Is it possible they shipped you one of a different bike? The nacelles can be different for different models....shouldn't need spacers.

[@koleby3]

where did you order your brackets from? I can not find these...

[@kalways_kustoms]

The brackets came with the fairing when I purchased it. Thanks for watching!
