UPDATE ON THIS ISSUE: The plastic bushings I had made have also now broken. So maybe it's a design flaw on the fairing. Advanblack have just told me they will be sending two sets of replacement bushings (the same ones). So let's see if this keeps happening or not.
The issue I have is all the mounting tabs on the outer fairing have broken off at the speed nut and now I’m dealing with the same problem with the inner fairing, my solution was to fiberglass some plastic in the mounting areas and make new mounting tabs a lot sturdier than the original tabs . I went on a 300 mile ride Sunday the fairing sounded like a box of marbles when I got home , I took the outer fairing off and found 3 mounting tabs had broken on the inner fairing so I guess I’ll be glassing those in too. I sent Adventblack an email and they said to take it up with the retailer, I don’t know if another fairing is going to be any better because the flaw is in the mounting tabs anyway.
Thank you for sharing the video and your feedbacks. We value all feedbacks and opinions and taking them to make better products. That being said, we will be working to enhance the quality of the bushings =)
You’re welcome and thanks for acknowledging the issue. ✌🏻 Two questions for you guys so we can update the community here: 1. Will you send out higher quality replacement bushings if requested? 2. Have the bushings been updated/improved recently (or have they always been the same)?
I love that Advanblack makes these to convert my lowrider S to the ST BUT the paint on mine is not very high quality. Looks like someone rattle canned it outside and is starting to flake off in areas after 1 year.
Same thing happened to me. They sent me a new set of bushings. As impossible as it sounds, you have to install them from behind. It looks impossible, but they do go through. Now, all of my bushings are installed without the cracks on the back side.
Great to hear it's not just me then ha! They do have great customer service. They sent me a smoke windscreen free of charge. Are the new bushings made of a different material? Do they seem to be holding up well? How long have the had them on? Interested to know! ✌
My faring cracked within the first 6 months over ownership. They did send me a replacement without any fuss or fight! Still disappointed that it broke so quickly, and hoping the second one lasts longer than 6 months!
Damn. Would be great to get an update from you in a few months on how it's holding up. So far mine is good outside of the bushings issue. I'll be taking it on a 6 hour ride this week... so let's see if she shits the bed or not!
My Advanblack ST fairing didnt come with any bushings for the windshield. I had to buy them from amazon cause i didnt want to wait for them to send them. The bigger problem that i have is a constant squeaking while riding from the inner and outer fairing pieces rubbing together. Soooo annoying
Hey Thomas, that sucks that they didn't even include the bushings WTF. The new bushings I had made are hard plastic and they are also now breaking lol. I'm going to contact Advanblack and see if they'll send me replacements. Stay tuned.
So these bushings were made by some guy who is a contact of the mechanic at the dealer. So it’s not from an official outlet. However, someone has commented here that HD sell original ones that are a mix of metal and rubber (which sounds great). I’ll try to find the link for them and pin it to a comment on the video. Advanblack will also send replacements if you ask them. 👍🏻
Yea, it is just not there in quality enough to get it yet. I am seeing several youtubers showing the material is not quite as thick and study as they would like. I do like the easy install approach they provide. And the looks is amazing. But, just not quite there yet for me.
The quality overall I would say is decent for the price. But yes, if you're looking for top quality I would go with the official Low Rider ST. Just better quality on the inside of the fairing and zero issues with bushings etc!
It’s a nice looking fairing; however, it is a prototype at best. The first flaw I experienced was the support bracket supposedly designed for my motorcycle obstructed the ignition switch. Advanblack tech-support, Steve never returned my request for solution so after some fabrication on my own, I was able to start the motorcycle with the fairing in place. The windshield bushings are shit, and the rest of the fairing has been rattling apart since the day I installed it. The best use of these fairings is perhaps for a movie set not daily use. I have since purchased a 2024 Lowrider ST. If you’d like an ST fairing, I suggest you get it from Harley Davidson. It is a superior product not a prototype or movie set look alike.
Youre better off buying the same fairing off Ali Express. In either case, you would need to invest in quality bushings for the winshield. The vivid black paint finish and brackets are excellent. The fairing is lighter than HD OEM which is a plus for weight saving however being light, it also shakes a little bit more than the OEM.

Have you updated the bushings yet. I’m wanting to place an order this week.
I need replacements as well

I have changed out all bushings to the hd ones when i did the install! AND still replaced 2 of the hd ones since!
Damn! Good to know. Which ones did you replace? The ones at the front keep going on mine.

Good point . help others…Can you tell us where to get these custom ones you made? Looks really good 👍🏻

Thank you. I was just about to buy one for Roadking.

Welcome to the channel. I had no idea it was available from Ali Express (surely it’s worse quality?). Yep agree with all you’ve said there 👍🏻
I agree the fairing is awesome! My bushings were shit too and cracked all over.
Yeah, they suck. Did you get replacements? If you contact them, they will replace them apparently.
My problem is the plastic is chip I broke the bracket just lossing it up
Welcome to the channel! Did you get a replacement part and fix the issue?
@@GasolineroMoto yes they sending me a new fairing to solve the problem
@@carlogamilla1128 Excellent! One thing you can't fault is their customer service; it's great. 🤝
In the us, we would just buy the oem bushings from Harley
I bought mine directly from Harley. Their grommets have a metal washer inside of them.
Welcome to the channel. Excellent! Do you have a link? Would be great to post that for the community. Cheers!
@@GasolineroMoto I can not find a link , I had to directly order from My Harley dealer.
I have this fairing from advan. Its absolutely junk
What happened to yours?
OEM fairing > Advanblack replica fairing original always best. I mean they copied it. I never had any issues with my grommets 10k miles now
Totally agree. Thanks for letting us know you’ve had no issues 👊🏻
