Thanks for all of the compliments, This bike is really working out for me with all of the additions and it's still a fairly low dollar investment.

Few more pics - I was able to use the stock turn signals by fabricating a small tab that bolts to the lower fairing bracket - I will definitely swap them out for something different but it got me on the road.

Took it for a 100 mile ride today, Windshield height is perfect and my hands stay warmer. All in all I really like it. Do the sound system and paint this winter & should be ready to roll in the spring.

I have always been a fan of the road glide. Finally bought one last January.

Your version looks awesome!

Wow, that's just an amazing adaptation. The lines of the fairing look like it belongs. Nice job!

Thumbs up for your nice and impressive works. Though I'm not a big fan of the look of the Roadglide fairing due to the double lights, but that is MY opinion and it has to match YOUR taste !

Cu,
Sven

I got my headlights dialed in and man, Went for a ride late last night. Low beams are definitely low but the hi-beams - WOW, I love them.

That does look really awesome, and I've always liked the shark nose look of the RG. I do like it when someone thinks outside the box, and then makes it happen, and the feeling of satisfaction is so much more when you can say "I did that".
Well Done.

Thanks again for all of the comments- I hate winter but in this case hopefully I can tear it down and get everything one color. I'm kind of digging that color on the fairing....

Me and a guy at work were coming up with names and thought about the RoadMad (among others) and just went with the NoGlide. - Maybe the next one.
