Title: stereo fairing
Post by: tarheel on August 28, 2011, 12:18:19 PM
I have been looking unsuccessfully for a stereo fairing like the quadzilla for my '02 1500. If you look at my profile pic you will see the huge fairing and windshield that came on my bike when I bought it, that just isn't my style. So I was wondering if anyone else may have one on theirs or know who makes one to fit. Thank you in advance

found that... but when you go into the order screen it says it is for 07-08 classic?!?  be curious to know what the differences are between our bikes and the classics...

I'm gonna take mine in for them to look at, but the drifter front-end and the classic is the same, so I figure it will work as is.

Just my personal opinion, but...

EEEWWWW!!

It makes it look too much like a Harley.

That is why we ride a Drifter, to be different.

Try this site http://www.hardrideaudio.com/hra/products/113-hra-boombox.aspx (http://www.hardrideaudio.com/hra/products/113-hra-boombox.aspx)

they offer Handlebar boom boxes, and other motorcycle audio.

My self I run a iphone/ipod, with small speakers inside my helmet.
(but nothing to block my hearing)

I never liked either the look or the function of those bar mounted fairings. When I bought my '78 E Glide, it was the first thing to go...Put on a Liberator. Matter of fact I still have it, along with a Califia Frame mount fairing. I've been thinking about how to mount that on the Drifter...It has flowing lines that might compliment the front end...Maybe it could be next year's project, no rush, I've had it since 1980...

I don't have, or want, one on my drifter. I just want to make sure it fits for those who want one.


My Goldwing has one and I prefer the frame mounted type. It really makes a lot of difference in how the bike handles.
