How does
the fairing mount?
|
Road King Classic
and Standard (including Police Model): We use the factory windshield
mounts to mount the fairing. The top rubber grommets for your
detachable windshield are removed, two washers are added and
our inner shell slides into place where the grommets had been.
The top bolts are then tightened to securely hold the fairing
in place. If you have handlebar mounted tach on any of these
models, it must be removed. We sell a unique fix for replacing
H-D mini tach onto your dash with the Road King Tachometer Bracket.
Fits Harley-Davidson Road King Classic®, Standard and Police
models up to 2007 ONLY.
Road King Custom: Mounts
same as Road King after removal of chrome wind deflector (duck
bill). We recommend covering this area with a handlebar clamp
cover and nacelle trim piece upon adding the fairing. We sell
these parts, or you can order them from Harley (Chrome Handlebar
Clamp Cover: HD part #67866-03 and Chrome Nacelle Trim: HD part#67868-03).
That way upon removal, the handlebar and top of headlight area
looks chromed and finished, like a standard or classic Road King.
Screamin'Eagle Road
King: The fairing mounts similar to the Road King Classic/Standard,
with an extra notch cut for 2002 and 2003 models to allow the
fairing to cover the tachometer as the fairing brackets slide
into place on their mounting points. We provide chrome bolts
to replace your upper & lower windshield studs in order to
allow the fairing to fit easier. Starting with 2007-current Screamin'Eagle
models, the tach was replaced onto the dash so no notch is required.
Heritage Softail/Softail
Deluxe/Fat Boy: The fairing mounts similar to the Road King in
that you need a detachable windshield mounting point. For all
softails, we replace the rubber grommets with metal washers and
chrome spacers in a certain configuration to make a secure fit.
For Fat Boy only: You must have a detachable windshield or Heritage-style
passing lamps. If not, you must purchase the Windshield Adaptor
Bracket Harley-Davidson part #58270-02 to make a Heritage style
front end. |
|
Is it
quick-release?
|
Yes, after initial
setup the removal takes less than a minute with a simple quarter
turn of the TOP nuts/bolts ONLY. Nuts and bolts DO NOT need to
be removed! As the fairing weighs approximately 18 pounds with
a stereo installed, we use bolts instead of quick-release pins.
Also, we don't want someone to be able to pull two pins and walk
away with your fairing in a matter of seconds. We also now offer
a chromed fairing lock (no metric fitment) exclusively designed
for Dragonfly fairings by McGard, a leader in security locks
for aftermarket bolt-on pieces. The lock still allows for the
simple removal of the fairing, with the same quarter turn of
the bolt lock key, loosening the top nuts/bolts to remove your
fairing. |
|
Will a
fairing work if I have a headlight nacelle on my Fat Boy or Heritage?
|
Yes, but the upper
bolt spacers for the detachable windshield bracket must be cut
down to make the bracket 12 7/8" apart again. |
|
What adjustments
must be made to my bike?
|
Road King Classic
and Standard: The spotlights are moved to the forward hole on
their mounting bracket. We provide a slotted socket to make this
easier, and once moved, they never have to be moved again.
Road King Custom: The
chrome wind deflector must be removed. You may want to purchase
a chrome handlebar cover for a Standard Road King if you plan
on leaving the fairing on for extended periods. (Check Ebay for
a good price.)
Fat Boy: You must have
a detachable windshield, or you must purchase the Windshield
Adapter Bracket - Harley part #58270-02. |
|
Will my
handlebar mounted tach work with your fairing?
|
On a Road King
Classic, Standard or Custom, the handlebar mounted tach must
be removed. We offer a mounting bracket to mount a Harley mini-tach
to the dash just above your speedometer.
On Screamin' Eagle 2002
and 2003 models, an extra notch is cut to allow room for the
tach to remain, but covered. |
|
What does
the BASIC fairing include?
|
The fairing includes
the inner and outer shell (black gelcoat finish) with your choice
of windshield, speaker mounts with grills and mounting hardware.
Stainless Steel mounting brackets ARE NOW INCLUDED, but need
to be added by part number for your model when ordering. Basic
Fairing does not include a stereo or speakers and does not come
painted, but we offer both a stereo package with speakers, paint
and many other options as Fairing Accessories. |
|
Does the
fairing include mounting hardware?
|
Yes, we provide the
additional hardware you will need besides your detachable windshield
rubber grommets. Our fairings mount with polished, stainless-steel
mounting brackets we provide with Basic Fairing purchase. The
brackets are very strong. The wheelie video was made to show
that our fairings can withstand hard riding. |
|
Can I
buy just the inner or outer shell?
|
No, unless you are
replacing the inner/outer shell on warranty or from an accident.
Our fairing inner shell is NOT designed to replace the Electra
Glide or other factory fairing inner shell. |
|
Does the
fairing come painted or in primer?
|
Neither. The fairing
comes in black gel coat, which is the paintable surface of our
injection-molded parts. It needs to be painted in order to look
finished. Gel coat requires some light prep-work before painting. |
|
Does the
fairing have to be painted?
|
Yes. If you want
the fairing to look "finished", it must be painted.
Ie., You wouldn't buy an unpainted set of saddlebags and expect
it to match your bike? Painting is the finishing touch to make
the piece perfect for your bike. We can paint it for you, or
you can take it to your own painter. |
|
Can you
match ANY paint?
|
We can match most
factory Harley-Davidson® paint and pinstripes by year. Our
painters use the same paint codes, type of paint and clear coat
used by Harley-Davidson® to ensure that you have the best
match possible.
For custom paint schemes,
our painter may require a side panel or saddlebag in order to
match the colors and design. Cost will depend on the colors and
difficulty of the project. Our painters do not do Radical Paint
Sets.
We are not offering
any factory matched paint for metric bikes at this time, however,
you can purchase Painted Gloss Black for your fairing. |
|
Will Harley
fairing accessories work with your fairing?
|
Yes. 1996 to current
nose bras, mirrors, chrome moldings, wind deflectors, windshield
storage bags, gauges and replacement windshields will work with
our fairing. |
|
Does the
fairing come with a stereo?
|
No. We have a stereo
package available, or you may install your own system. Our fairing
is designed to house most single-DIN sized stereo units that
are 6 1/8" deep, and most 6 x 9 speakers with a depth of
3 1/16", and magnet diameter of 3 9/16". |
|
What size
speakers can be used in the fairing?
|
The Dragonfly Cycle
Concepts fairing is designed to house 6 x 9 speakers with a depth
of 3 1/16" and magnet diameter of 3 9/16". |
|
Do I have
to put in a stereo?
|
No. Some customers
choose not to have a stereo hole cut. If you do not want a stereo
hole cut, you must tell us at the time you place your order. |
|
Can you
sell me just a plain fairing with no holes?
|
We can leave the
dash solid (no stereo hole), but please note that this special
order will add 3 weeks to your fairing's estimated ship time.
The speaker holes are part of the mold and cannot be made solid.
However, the Basic Fairing comes with speaker grills that get
mounted from the inside and cover these holes whether you put
speakers in or not. |
|
Will factory
hand controls for the stereo work with your fairing?
|
Not factory hand
controls, but we offer our own Hand Control Kit that works ONLY
with our Kenwood marine-grade Stereo Package on our Detachable
Fairing. This new product retrofits back to our first design,
so as long as you bought our Kenwood marine-grade Stereo Package,
you can use this kit on your older model fairing! |
|
Does your
stereo have a CB or headphones?
|
No. But companies
such as J&M Corporation make adaptor modules that will tie
CBs and intercoms into any stereo. However, you must call
them directly to order as it is not listed in their catalog.

How do
CDs work? Can I use my I Pod or MP3 player? What about Sirius
or XM radio?
|
The unit we offer
is a standard car stereo that is made water resistant for boating
purposes. As you are mounting a car stereo to the front forks
of a motorcycle, CDs tend to skip. We have found that some CDs
work better than others, and certain bikes are better than others
for CDs not skipping.
The Kenwood deck we
offer works with your I Pod or MP3 player and is satellite radio
ready. For the I Pod or MP3 player, an adapter cord is plugged
into the back of the deck and runs parallel with our quick-disconnect
harness. You can then put your portable unit in a pocket, pouch,
saddlebag, etc.
For satellite radio,
the SIRIUS receiver box and antenna are a kit we sell if you
dont already have a membership. Both are mounted inside
the fairing and plug directly into the back of the Kenwood deck.
We dont sell the XM unit anymore, but if you have either
brand in a moveable membership capable of putting
into several different vehicles, it will work the same on your
motorcycle with an adaptor. Ask your local Radio Shack for the
Kenwood adaptor to plug into your stereo. |
|
SPEAKER PODS
|
What models
do your speaker pods fit?
|
1985 to current full-sized
Harley Davidson Tour Pac®.
NOTE: Does not fit any leather tour pack. |
|
Do you
sell just the speaker pods?
|
Yes, you can purchase
the speaker pods separately and put your own 6 ½"
speakers in, depth is 1 13/16" with magnet diameter of 1
3/8". We recommend our own Kenwood water-resistant 2-way
speakers. |
|
What do
the pods come with?
|
Our speaker pods
come with a pair of pods, mounting hardware and instructions. |
|
Is there
separate volume controls for the rear speaker pods?
|
No |
|
ELECTRA GLIDE /
ROAD GLIDE STEREO UPGRADE KIT
|
Will my
factory hand controls work?
|
Yes! Your hand controls
will work with this kit! |
|
Is this
kit a direct plug-and-play?
|
YES!!! OUR EVER POPULAR
STEREO UPGRADE FOR ELECTRA GLIDE, STREET GLIDE AND ROAD GLIDE
IS NOW A PLUG-AND-PLAY UNIT !! Currently fits 1998-current model
years ONLY. |
|
Can you
sell me just the adapter kit or just the hand control module?
|
No. We do not separate
this kit. |
|
