I’m good with my Memphis shades windshield on my sporty and use Bluetooth headset in my helmet for music and gps directions but just wanted to say you did a first rate job on this it looks outstanding! - Xena from the XL Forum
Hey thank you for reviewing your Fairing. Do you have video of the install? How all the pieces came in the package, and how to assemble? I’m curious because I’ve got one on its way and this will be my first time putting one together. Thanks again for the video. Nice work!
So sorry just saw this comment! I'm assuming you have it figured out by now. I did consider doing a quick "how to" on the way I did the installation- i just never got around to it. hope your's came out well!
It looks like I found your Vlog a couple of years late but if you ever spot this post I like to get an overview on the pros and cons of setting up your Sportster for touring. Thanks.
Can’t really say there’s any cons, other than you lose a little nimbleness of the Sporty by adding girth and also there’s no manual on how to do the conversation, you’re just kind of on your own to figure it out (not that complicated, but there is often some fabrication needed to make different accessories work). Pros? You can ride longer with a ton more comfort. If your a fan of the bagger look, Sportsters look amazing as a bagger. You also get to carry a lot more stuff with you with all the storage. There is almost no reason not to convert to a touring bagger if you ride a lot
What year and model is your sportster. I have a 18' xl883n just your regular sportster. But the speedo seems like it would be in the way because of it pointing up. But I see yours is facing down. I mean I guess I can get a relocator kit maybe. But also what kit do you have for the hardbags?
Well, since you can control the installation points on the fairing, you can set the mounting points forward a little to give the clearance for the top mount speedo and the fairing.

just purchased this , no isssues mounting bracket to inner fairing , no issues with the mounting hardware , THE issue is my clutch cable gets crushed when i mount the fairing on the forks , i have 12 inch apes and i have to pull my bars back to a very shittty position , and they claim this fits sportster 48 , and not a tight fit around the headlamp so u catch a nice constant windblast tunneling thru and hit u in the face , Not happy with this so far , INSTALL WAS a charm , too many other issues
Hey, I have the same exact bike. Even the same paint. Lol can you provide a link or any info on what saddle bags you have on the bike? I'm looking for some exactly like that

Very nice. You did that Sporty up well. Thsnks for the info on other than Memphis Shades. Yea, they outrageous.
Thank you!
Missed main points on how does it affect ride now.
I am looking on getting one of these.
Can you review the ride part?
Thanks.
I bought my fairing from Talon Billets, may I ask you where did you get the cover for your stereo?
I ordered it on Amazon. I think it was about $15
Do you know where you got the speedometer mount like on this sportster. Been trying to find one like it on ebay and amazon, with no luck
It was stock on this model I believe, I’ve seen many from that year with the same style
@DS Entertainment Network Thanks, I appreciate the reply. Will starting for that year....I enjoy and learn from your videos keep up the good work....
Did those brackets come with it? The brackets that came with mine are too big for my fork
Did you happen to have any wheel wobble after the install?
No I did not

Did you change out the riser or did you already have the turn back riser
Will you send some pics of the mounting hardware? I can't figure out how to mount mine. Please

You should do a installation video for the fairing I purchase one having problems assembling the mount

Great review !
i am looking for bat wing and bagger bags for my night train fxsb .
Nice 👍
Did u have to drill into the fairing to create the toggle switch?
Yes I did
@@DJDanaScott and then ran the necessary wires. Also I just went and looked up their website, they are no longer offering that radio with the fairing.
What’s the brand and model of your saddlebags? Thanks
Always wire all your accessories thru a relay so they go on and off with the switch instead of an ugly toggle switch on the dash.
I connect straight to battery with a push button toggle. Riders choice I reckon.
curious about the saddlebags...
Bought on eBay for $150, primed and painted myself
They’ve gone up quite a bit and you no longer get the radio.
Bummer. But, I bet they're even more now with this BS unprecedented inflation.
Still a good video.
Don't offer the full complete fairing with everything included
You should have paint matched your speaker grilles.
Must.... you..... talk..... like..... A robot........!
Thats all you got ?
Hey bro you guys are copy Tsukayu” s fairing ... guy heads up it’s Illegal
😂😂😂
