Harley Fairing Project Done....Finally

strobe · 06-24-2009, 09:29 PM

Well is took months, waited for gauges for at least 6 weeks of that time but the fairing is on the bike and painted. When I joined this site I had the fairing mocked up, but had a lot of work to do. The wiring took me almost 10 hours alone to get all the gauges, stereo, rear speakers, and other things hooked up and neatly tied up. Here are a few pictures of the final product. I got lazy and did a single color on the fairing, will likely do two tone this winter but needed to get done so took the easy way out for now.

Did my 1400 mile trip though Lolo Pass on it a couple weeks ago and it all held up so I guess it passed the road test. Adds a lot of weight to the front end / steering though which takes a bit of getting used to. :)

I think the single color works great with the bike , I would leave it . Great job looks great

Sure....do you want to know how much that thing ended up costing me first though....Kind of lost track of the costs at some point, and wish I had not added it up later, but I like the finished product, so I guess it is worth it.

If you were closer I would gladly help make up the brackets, just takes some time and patience. I have templates if you want.

Netnorske · 06-25-2009, 02:12 PM

Cory....nice work! The one color looks fine. Maybe a little pinstriping might bling it up a bit....but it looks good!

cactusjack · 06-25-2009, 02:29 PM

Great job. You should be patting yourself on the back!

lonewolf · 06-25-2009, 03:08 PM

if i had known what paint was gonna cost me, i probably wouldnt have dun it. fairing was 50.00 for outer and inner. stereo , speakers and guages were a couple hundred. misc steel, and chrome bolts and misc electrical another 50.00. paint cost me 400.00 thru colorite. then 150 to squirt it. so a lil over 800 to do it all !!!
