I'm very interested in the type/style of plug you will use. Just one plug is the only way to go. Back in my submarine days we had plugs with 128 wires in 'em, but a tad too big for a motorcycle. But the concept is there.

I would recomend putting a block of wood horizontally across the fairing and bolt it to the support bars for the back of the radio to sit on. I did a Hawg-wired install in a buddies DF this weekend and he was telling me how the radio seems to bounce around. We decided to make this little mod to support the rear of the radio.

thats a good idea, seems pretty solid now, had to dremel the opening a bit just to get the head unit in.

when you did the install di you guys pull the outer fairing, while it was on the bike or di you remove the entire fairing forst?

Hey Q,
So if what you say is true, you'll have to fit a Road Glide fairing to your ride in keeping with the FrankenSERK theme. That'd be cool bro and a true sign of talent on your part in fitting it up. You'd have the only one around I'll bet. I'm sure Neil would help you with the wiring, HD_Dude would throw in for a few $$ on the electronics. So what do you say there little brother ? Life is not a spectator sport now is it ?

Naitram,
That looks awesome, you are going to love having tunes and being out the wind/weather. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] I can remember before riding a touring bike w/windshield, fairing and lowers being totaled wiped out after a day in the saddle. Always said I would never ride something with the above on it until I was ready to purchase one, because I knew once I felt how nice it was to have all those amenities I would be spoiled and never want to go back. That is exactly what happened I don't know if I could ever go back to being w/o them again. Again, great job on your project, now get out there and enjoy it, I don't see any of that funny stuff (snow) on the ground, and you are protected from the elements now.

SPIDERMAN · « **Reply #82 on:** April 19, 2006, 01:48:00 PM »

I said this on another post somewhere. If you ride in an area with strong crosswinds, you're gonna feel it a lot in the handlebars. Especially in an area like San Diego county where you come down from 4,200 ft to sea level and the desert floor. The wind howls up the canyons because of the temp difference. BUT it's not any different than what you'd feel riding an Electra Glide. The dealer is blowing smoke up your ass about your front end. As far as I know, there's no difference between the front end of an RK and an EG - - -Take the narcelle off an RK and the fairing off an EG and what's left is the same.

CVOJOE · « **Reply #83 on:** April 19, 2006, 03:11:45 PM »

You can cross-check the p/n's for RK Vs RG or EG's, very little difference. Adding the bat wing changes the dynamics of the front end in the wind, it has to. Improves it in some ways but also offers more resistance when running in side drafts. Over all I'd say the dealer is blowin.
