25 years on my 1985 FXRT. I have 4 different wind screens for it. They change the dynamic completely with each progressive height change. 9in, 12 bar cut with vent, 15 inch recurve top and 21 inch straight touring option. built and road bikes over 50 years ago and swore never to ride a "garbage wagon" touring bike... well that went by the wayside after my first turn on the FXRT. If you love it on the Dyna, take a run on the FXR with air adjustable suspension. Whole other game. Thanks for the review and comments. Welcome to the FXRT club.❣

Russ did a great job reproducing the FXRT Fairing, beautiful, functional, lots of protection and space for audio if yo7 want it. Add the Lowers and you really have it zipped up. it’s one of the best fairings for those long stretches of interstate at 100mph on cruise control man, much better than a Batwing. Not only that but it’s great in the twisties as well. Buy a Softail Standard and do a ZIPPERS 128 Engine and one of these Fairings, add some good saddlebags and cruise control, done deal!

Great video as always... did you relocate front turn signals due to this fxrt fairing? I split lane all the times legally here in California, and would this fairing be a problem as visibility issue as looking out ? I feel like T-bar is wider than fxrt fairing itself... I am seriously about getting this RWD fairing on my m8 LRS...

@FXDLSBrooklyn 3 жыл бұрын

It for sure makes lane splitting harder, but not impossible. In my experience, the lanes out west by you guys are typically wider than out here, so I think you'd probably be ok!

FXRT fairing is the best !!!! It would be cool to see those light pods installed and let us know if wind management changed. I think you should also get those lowers installed...it would definitely improve wind management...although it might increase heat engine radiant heat...

Great review, I've heard the RWD is a nightmare to get painted because it's covered in a whole bunch of pin holes from the way it's made so it takes a ton of prep work compared to like a jd customs or imzz elite fairing. What was end cost for you like 5g after everything was said and done?

Yes your comment on being expensive is my concern but am looking for comfortable wind protection without all the noise and wind buffeting. Not sure if the road worrier would provide enough wind protection without all the buffeting and wind noise. Or do you know something else that might be ok and still not the big expense. 👍

Hey BK, can you do a video explaining the Harley culture or attraction to Harley's? I've been riding for 35 years and have ridden a few Harleys but can't get the whole pirate thing or the Harley culture, Harleys always seem to be old technology, slow unreliable and the dealers want you to bend over whenever you walk through the door. I currently ride a 2016 GSX-S1000f that I'm sure I could ride twice around the country and never have any issues with. My Harley friends always seem to accept breakdowns or electrical gremlins as part of the cost of owning a Harley totally unaceptable in my opinion. I'm not a Harley hater but I just don't understand.

Hey man, you are referring to this Fairing as a FXRT fairing, witch is understandable, but it actually is a Harley Davidson Nova fairing: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/es2UhJSCt6e0cZs.html The Nova never made it to production but the EVO motor did. And although the first FXR's had a 1340 cc Shovel engine, the later models of course came with the all new EVO enigne, just like my 1985 FXRT and my wife's 1986 FXRS. So there Harley Davidson was... having this FXR motorcycle and having all of the R&D of the Nova available... So what they did actually, was this: they've combined the available Nova Fairing and Nova hard-case bags with the existing FXR and so the FXRT / FXRD and FXRP were developed. Of course this fairing got the FXR name, but it actually was no FXR fairing...but a Nova fairing, and that also goes for the hard cases. Just for your information, and thank you very much for your review of this aftermarket HD Nova fairing ;-)
