Seeing the new bat wings gives us some idea what the new shark nose fairing may look like either this winter or next fall. Here is the New Road Glide Inner Fairing Assembly by Jim Nasi Customs Inc. Thoughts?

I think Jim Nasi is one of the most innovative and skilled custom builders out there. I first met Jim at Sturgis around 10 years ago when he was first getting started. Nice guy and very talented...

I believe it will be something similar to that however... Naitram and I were talking the other day and he brought up a good point.... For the "infotainment" (radio) really to be functional it would need to be a little closer to the rider. As it is now on the Shark Wings that is a long reach/view to the inner fairing... if there was some sort of remote "infotainment" interface that sits about where the current speedo/tach is on the shark nose's it might just work.

OH yea the gauges (information/digits) will need to bigger because as Midnight Rider mentioned in a post in the last couple days we are getting older and eyesight getting worse.

Ride Safe,

Looking at the side view, it appears the upper inner fairing extends back toward the rider a few inches. Still quite a reach, tho. Having the double DIN opens up lots of options for music/nav/dvds - uh oh...

It makes the already huge fairing on the RG look even more bulky. But it's a pretty nice option for those who want to upgrade their inner fairings.

Nasi forgot the mail slot (thank goodness). Sharpe design.

Lets hope the 15 Road Glide fairing is close to that good.

I'm not a "shark" fan but that's a much nicer layout than HD just tossed out on the Bats!

Yeah, yeah .... you said you didn't like any fairings once.

That does look nice, though!

I could only wish the new fairing looked like that.

Puzzled · « **Reply #12 on:** August 21, 2013, 12:25:51 PM »

It is nice however the loss of the glove boxes would suck.

Rooster · « **Reply #13 on:** August 21, 2013, 01:50:11 PM »

I like the infotainment center up higher like this, safer as you don't have to look down as much. Nice layout of the dash

let me be the first. i don't like it. at all...... i hope the 2015 doesn't look like that.

D-N-D · « **Reply #16 on:** August 21, 2013, 07:14:08 PM »

$:-\$ Not sure if I like that.

CVODON · « **Reply #17 on:** August 21, 2013, 08:46:57 PM »

Looks like crap, and I know you could use different speakers but those things in the photos are just nasty looking. No way would I buy a bike with a fairing like that, and I am ready for a new RG so I pray it is totally different than this.

Puzzled · « **Reply #18 on:** August 21, 2013, 09:10:11 PM »

6x9's or dual 6.5" would be nice

I spied the Street Glide infotainment set up and it looks sharp. The technicians working to get the 2014's on the floor were all gaga over it.

SFHD Sales Manager speculated that the new RG fairing might be a full front fairing similar to Beemers or Geldwing as to protect the shins and feet from splash back during rainstorms. Not sure how that would look but getting a somewhat drier ride in the lower regions might be nice.

I think it looks good, like the speakers only concern I see there is the angle the speakers are on were is the rain/wash water going to go at the bottom of the speaker,.. seems to me your going to have a bit of a puddle
sitting there

or it's how I'm seeing the pic

At the end of the day it don't really mater to me my (Lady in red 07) is my last ride. Just an observation

YELLOWBIRD · « **Reply #22 on:** August 22, 2013, 07:54:21 AM »

What, no glove boxes on both sides?

OBB · « **Reply #23 on:** August 22, 2013, 08:04:08 AM »

Possibly no glare on the speedo and tach. That would be interesting.

ultrarider123 · « **Reply #24 on:** August 22, 2013, 08:30:35 AM »

The Nasi design doesn't look that bad. My take, the MoCo will copy it and improve it...sorta like what they did for the bats for the '14s...

I think your sales manager is correct.

wrayzor · « **Reply #26 on:** August 22, 2013, 10:20:26 AM »

I say stay with current inner fairing design with a double din opening for the new radio. I like my glove boxes!
