So sweet I am going to do this on my 2020 Lowrider S, and I am hoping that like you say it will fell like my 2020 Road Glide Special when I ride it. all I have to do is find a painter willing to paint the new RWD fairing for me Gloss Vivid Black, thank you for doing what you do here. your the man. also you feel like your sitting higher is because you have more substance in front of you but is still lower than your eye sight. again thanks for everything.
I was going to get the Road Warrior, but now you’ve got me leaning towards this one. Trying to find the pricing for this now lol. Thanks for the video.
Did my best to get it out there to you guys, I know y'all were waiting patiently! I'll having something more formal and concrete soon, I have over 1500 miles on it at this point
I am totally into the fairing with the tinted windshield. You're right, you've got a badass sport-cruiser with one honey of a fixed fairing to help with long miles and harsh weather. The only bike I've had with a fixed frame fairing is the ZZR1200, and I commuted 110 miles (One way) three days a week through all the weather that coastal Nor-Cal could throw at me. I put a Gustafsson touring shield on it with the appropriate riding gear. You'll be able to ride all day and get that workout in, then hit the scene when you ride to Sturgis next time.
You feel like you are sitting higher because you are sitting higher. Less wind = better posture. Less hunching, less hanging on the bars, less fatigue, more sitting upright. You're in a more commanding position so you can see more and react faster.
That fairing is super cool dude! Next to that I totally understand the fixed fairing arguments. Looking forward buying and bolting on that FXRT to my FXDXi. Keep it coming man! Love that bike!
FXDLS Brooklyn currently running a quarter fairing since the windshield of my t-sport broke last year due to an accident. I must say I prefer the t-sport in looks and riding.
Hey BK, tried to do some digging but didn't/couldn't find a source on how tall your windshield component was on the fairing, mind giving me the deets again? cheers! -LarrikinLancer/Antipodean
I think it would be interesting to see if there was a way that you could do product reviews on the multiple FXRT style fairings from JD customs, Villian2hero, Deviant Fabrications, Big bear choppers, etc. Not sure how that would work, but it would be a great resource to get all that info in one place on youtube since they all have different sizes/features to them.
Looks great dude! I’ve considered one for myself, just worried about cutting down too much wind, as I like the wind on those super hot days we get down under 🇦🇺
No trust me, after putting. 1000k miles on. it, it is still well over enough wind to be cool in those hot days. There's actually a guy who has UA-cam videos from Australia that has the same setup, I'll have to find and link his videos he could be a good reference
Looks sick!!! I think the reason why you are feeling like you are sitting higher is because fairing is blocking the view that you are use to. Even though you are focusing three cars out your old fairing was allowing you a better field of vision now the the new fairing is blocking that field of vision you are use to so it is making it feel like you are sitting up higher on the bike. Since you have ridden a road glide and I would think you have ridden the road captains street glide can you do a comparison to your new fairing? What one do you think blocks wind better? Keep the killer videos coming!
Your getting that “sitting higher” feeling because your mentally use to having more view of everything so your subconsciously sitting up more to try and get the amount of view your use to, if you lower your gauges enough to see through the top edge of the windshield on the fairing to the ground you will most likely sit more relaxed because you’ll subconsciously feel like you are able to see almost as good as you could before
FXDLS Brooklyn dual headlight is eliminated as you have to run a touring headlight bucket with the fxrt . 🤙 only thing I have to take into consideration is fork clearance inside fairing.
Yep, on it! I raised it about an inch, you'll see the adjustment in future videos. Please keep me posted on the future content and let me know if you think it should be raised higher in the next one.
Ey off-topic how do you wash your jacket?I rly gotta wash mine now,haven't washed it since I got it and started riding 2yrs ago,I heard it's not ok to put it in the washing machine,gonna go and try hand washing it,usually when something like this needs to be hand washed my grandma does it but I'm alone now and gonna be like that for about couple of weeks so yeah,well I put it in the tub now,damn the water blackened XD well hope it's gonna be aight Oh and yeah before I didn't knew what to comment but still wanted to leave one :D haha gotta go to the mall which is very close to me,a 5 min ride,gonna be squidding today for my first time,first time going out in a t-shirt today :D
Yeah you’re totally right Kim - I think Harley is offering a new baffle kit that apparently reviews claim makes it sound as pleasant as a Mozart fugue - Definitely going to look into and hopefully bring us all more pleasant audio content soon!
@@FXDLSBrooklyn Brilliant! I've never liked harley and bikes but I do LOVE Mozart!!! When can we expect that long awaited civilised and pleasant content?
Kim Riley why would he need a quieter exhaust? It sounds perfectly fine its a fab28 and sounds just the way it was meant to sound but if you've never liked Harley's or bikes then you just don't get it anyway.
@@percyrobinson9196 No, the kid said in his comment that he would get a Nice civilised exhaust which sounds similar to some classical music. I think that would be a kind thing to do and finally the vehicle would sound pleasant because at the moment it just sounds embarassing.
I did it and it is the best, rides so sweet with that RWD fairing. now I'm thinking to sell the RGS131 and see what comes in 2023

You got it man, let us know how it works out for you 🗽⚡️
This is the review I have needed the most! Cant wait for more updates. Thanks man!

Right? That's what it's all about. If I can't get my post-ride workout in, then what are we doing here?!

Ok, that makes absolutely 100% sense. Thank you, much appreciated. Was trying to figured out that day why that was!
youre sitting higher because youre naturally sitting higher in order to see over the fairing. Its a mental thing
like your back is straighter if you know what I mean
Exactly !
That makes total sense, was trying to figure that out! Thanks J!
That fairing is super cool dude! Next to that I totally understand the fixed fairing arguments. Looking forward buying and bolting on that FXRT to my FXDXi. Keep it coming man! Love that bike!
Glad to hear it! Would love to hear how that would work out. What fairing are you currently running?

It's stock, so whatever the stock RWD height is - Might be 8''?

FXDLS Brooklyn that would be awesome dude thank you!
Great video. How tall of ws did you go with n do you mind asking you how tall are you?

Absolutely Tom, that is a great idea - I rode his bike a few times on and off this summer, I can definitely do something like that!
I think the gauges are perfect
Good to know, thanks man!

That makes total sense - Thanks for weighing in Ian!
Thanks for this video, I like the style, actually I plan on buying this fairing for my Low Rider S.
Good choice! Excellent fairing overall!
Awsome video 👍🏼What length are your bars ? Position looks just right.
ua-cam.com/video/d19r1rJvUtw/v-deo.html
That fairing is pretty stable at that speed! Nice!!
That right there, is the main strength of running the fairing.
Very nice dude!!!! FXRT fairing is the way to go on the middleweight cruisers...what kind of fairing did you get?
Right? So that is the RWD FXRT Fairing
Looking forward to full review. Getting ready to do same thing on 2011 fat bob.
Oh wow, that is something I have not seen. How would you run it with the dual highlights?
FXDLS Brooklyn dual headlight is eliminated as you have to run a touring headlight bucket with the fxrt . 🤙 only thing I have to take into consideration is fork clearance inside fairing.
Nothing like going 80mph in a 35mph zone 😂 people drive fast in NY! Do you always keep your high beam on in the daytime?
No man we were doing the legal speed limit, the gauge was just faulty in that particular clip.
Ah, the one I've been waiting on! 👌
Did my best! I'll have more soon.
Great video bro🤙🏼 The next video you have to make is compare and contrast the Road Warrior and the FXRT!! The fairing looks great though🔥
Thanks for the idea! Definitely going to do it soon, there are some key major differences!
@@FXDLSBrooklyn Can't wait to watch it 🙌🏼🤙🏼
That looks dope man and the bike sounds way rad!! Loved this video...
Dave! Thanks man, always appreciate when you stop by.
Glad you like it man!
So good.
Also an upgrade I want in the future
Definitely do it.
@@FXDLSBrooklyn I'm in the process of moving to Alaska, but once the Alaska winter hits I'm putting some work into my bike
Texicano_FXDLS those spikes on those tires!
So sick! Are you gonna put speakers in it?
Nah - the speeds I'm usually doing, I wouldn't hear it well
Remind me, how much wind were you getting?
The right amount
Huge makeover 👍🏽
Yeah trying to find a good makeup company to sponsor it further 💅🏼
Maybe an unconscious adjustment to make up for the new view?
Done.
Awesome 😎
Thanks 🗽⚡️!
Try using a camera mount on the top of your helmet .
Hey Joe! I raised it about an inch. for future videos, please stay tuned and let me know if it's better.
Considering this heavily for my winter build
You feel like your sitting higher because know your sitting in the bike with out the wind resistance
That makes sense - 100% do it and don't look back.
can anyone say if you can put lowers on this fairing? I want to pull the trigger but i know i want lowers that i can just pop on fairly easy
sixfoothobit yes you can put lowers, I actually ordered them a while ago but they need to be painted - as for install, it doesn’t seem that difficult
I dig it camera needs to be raised though maybe time to mount it on top of your helmet
Yep, on it! I raised it about an inch, you'll see the adjustment in future videos. Please keep me posted on the future content and let me know if you think it should be raised higher in the next one.

I never wash them - If I have to though, I would give it to a dry cleaner
What's wrong with the exhaust kids? It sounds terribly old and loud, it seems that the engine's really strugling. Get the exhaust fixed. ...

No way with those gauge location from the camera angle but if it’s not bad to you hey it’s your bike
I fixed it for future videos, I know it's pretty bad in this one!
Hey buddy as long as you are good with it like I said it’s your bike
But yeah kool 👍👍👍👍👍glad you fixed it for the video sake and your viewers 🙏👍💪👌😎keep em coming brah
@@mikeeger7581 Nah, I want whatever is best for you guys
Still dreaming here. 🇵🇭
Hey man, dreams can become reality with enough PMA! Hope you're well
Your brake light switch is dying 😉
I know man! Realized it the next day! Thanks for looking out man!
You def need to take them hand guards off in my opinion they don’t fit
I've contemplated it - but at the end of the day, they really help out in the cold and rain
