I can't wait to see that in paint!!!!

It looks very interesting, youll have to give us a bit of a play by play of what is involved in making a fairing like that. It sure looks like a lot of work. Im curious as to the procedures involved.

WOW, what a project!

dmyers · 02-03-2012, 08:28 AM

Thanks for the comments
I new this would be a bitch LOL
I got at least another 2 months to get it done
it will be one of a kind though

How much is it gonna weigh? I'm guessing my TG fairing isn't more than 10#. Felt like 40 when I tried to carry the box inside when I got it.

I like it alot! I thought about making a frame mount after I found out what they wanted for the Roadglide fairing - and after looking at the Tourglide fairing I still wasn't sold. I have the Premuix on for now and I do have a first gen venture fairing and lowers that I might try to install, if I can get off my fat ass!! Actually - I had the Flu from Middle of Novmenber to the last week of January - and still have a nasty cough that won't quit!
Anywasy, very good job- can't wait to see the finished product!

Cool project! Thanks for sharing your project and am looking forward to seeing its progression..Bdog

dmyers · 02-03-2012, 11:43 AM

Thanks Bdog
that's a cool looking dash. what does it go on?

twowheeladdict · 02-03-2012, 11:44 AM

I too wonder what the finished product will weigh. The Voyager does have a beefier front end than the other 1700s to accomodate the Fairing. You might have to upgrade the springs up front for the extra weight.

Super job. You have to write up a detailed report once you have it completed. I also can't wait to see it finished.

dmyers · 02-03-2012, 11:51 AM

Actually i doubt the faring will way much more than the glass windshield and hanger.Im sure the front end will feal lighter without the wind pressing on the front end
