One important question that I forgot to ask, do these wobble, shake, or are they stable?
Ken

mine is solid and stable, you do feel some wind feedback into the handle bars and windy days, passing or being passed by 18 wheelers, but you would feel that with any batwing fairing. Cause their mounted to the front end.

Anyone ever wonder why the don't make a sharknose removable fairing for a RK? :scratch:


Lots of old Windjammer's on Ebay.  Some tubing and a little flat stock and a mounting bracket wouldn't be all that hard to come up with.
Maybe a winter project for someone up north, where the winters are long and the riding season short.

Seriously, I wonder if anyone has tried to mount an OEM Shovel fairing on a RK?
Through most of the '90s I ran a fiberglass FLH batwing on my 1990 FLHS (the ancestor of the RK). I think I paid twenty bucks for it at a swap meet, complete with brackets (which still said "AMF"). Bolted up perfectly to the same holes on the forks that the stock windshield bracket bolted to. Kinda wish I'd kept it when I sold the bike, as I think it provided better protection than the plastic batwing on my FLHTC--for one thing, the windshield was a good four or five inches closer to my nose, with correspondingly less buffeting.
