These fairings have a custom look and not the usual batwing copy. They are also setup for stereo and speakers. Anyone have one of these?

i don't know anything about their fairing but i have had a couple
of their windshields over the years and the quality was excellent.
i would expect the same to hold true with the fairing.

I had looked at the Raven when I was considering getting a fairing, but I could not get enough information on them or good quality pix of them on a Nomad so I looked at the Premeux instead. Here is a pic I got off the internet of how it looks. I have since changed my mind and am quite content with just a windshield and the traditional Nomad/Road King look.

Looked at them a while back, but never really cared for the look of them, just my two cents, everyone has different tastes. As far as Rifle goes, have one of their windshields and they were great to deal with and good quality.

If thats what a Rifle fairing looks like, I don't ever see myself getting one anytime soon.

I think it pretty sharp looking. There are no sharp edges, and the lines are rounded just like the rear end/bag area of the Nomad. I think they complement each other pretty nicely. Haven't really looked at faring much, do they all over your grip area line the rifle?

My 2 cents.. I like it about 95%,, BUT I think It would grow on me if I had it,, The nice thing is it is alittle different,, not the same as everyone elses,, +1.. The Nomad is not as common as a HD +2.. Im sure you can mod the air scoup for driving lights.. and RIFLE used to make good stuff,, I had a Rifle Fairing on my 83 Honda Silver Wing,, GREAT paint and built well.. I dont think you will be disapointed in the ride with that fairing.... Rich
I really wish Corbin would release their fairing for the Nomad. It looks great. The Streamliner.

That fairing looks like it can't make up it's mind if it wants to be a Harley clone or a Yamaha Venture Royale Star clone. Of course, that's my opinion. http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif

I like it about 90%. The bottom front around the turn signals seems "unfinished. Outside of not having the cash to buy it, that's the only other thing that would stop me.
I have had Rifle, but that thing in Fugly.

Kuryakyn has brought out a Fairing also. All I can say is you better be rich! Looks interesting - would have to see it in real life! For now it only fits Hardly's - but one could adapt I'm sure. There are some feature's that look good in picture's.
Guess you havent checkec Kury's price yet. Hope your settin down.
