Willie,

Join the club. I have been looking for one ever since they added the speakers. It seems the only hope is to find someone who really hates the look and/or the poor wind protection of the stock one and goes with a standard fatboy shield. I would have ordered the retrofit parts but it's just a bit too pricey for what you wind up with. For that money you could get something custom done which is certainly one way to go.

If any of you 2011 owners are interested in selling the OEM windshield, send me a PM.

Thanks, WD

I don't need the Fairing, just the Dark Smoked Windscreen. The 2012 is about 1.5" to tall for my liking ! I have talked with the folks a Clearview, because I have used their products in the past. guess I will just keep looking.

Thanks, WD

Ahh - I see. You might have better luck as there as a couple of guys on the board have swapped their 2011 winshield to the wider 2012 one with the lowers.

I am looking for an entire 2012 assembly (assuming it will fit on the 2010 mounting points) and paint the colored part to match the inferno orange. A 2011 would do but I would still have to do the windshield swap for a 2012 with the lowers. If I get one of these and wind up not using the 2011 screen I will let you know.

Willie D,

The Clearview guys have my 2010 fairing.  They are working on making a fairing with deflectors and a taller and wider windshield for the 2010 folks.     For those folks who have a 2011 and 2012 fairing, I purchased the parts for the 2012 fairing and it has the inner speaker system (with better speakers) and a GPS mount.  The Clearview folks are using it as a go by for your fairing. I expect they may be finished sometime in late February or early March.  I will post pics when I get it back.

When you say better speakers, what do you mean?  Did you find some speakers that fit the Harley fairing?  The Harley ones are $60.00 ea and about $68.00 ea for the grilles. Then you need to spend about another $10.00 ea for the trim rings.

Better speakers in the sense of I purchased a set of Polk Audio DXi350 speakers with a 3 1/2 inch magnet compared to the HD's itty bitty magnet.  I paid $60 for the pair. Details are:
3-1/2" 2-way car speakers (pair)
polymer/mica composite woofer with butyl rubber surround
1/2" liquid-cooled silk/polymer composite dome tweeter
Neodymium tweeter magnet
built-in 2-way crossover network
certified for marine use
includes a pair of 200 Hz bass blockers
power range: 2-35 watts RMS (105 watts peak power)
frequency response: 90-22,000 Hz
sensitivity: 91 dB
top-mount depth: 1-9/16"

They rock! And, yes, they fit nicely in the HD inner fairing.  My husband had to do a little modification on one side but no big deal. We used the HD trim rings and paid way too much for the grills. What a rip off they were but still we did okay.

Thx, I still would like to have the Dark Tint OEM 2011

Thanks Mike - I don't want to get rid of the Stock 2012 jst yet. If I can't find a 2011 OEM 50% tint, I will take mine down and have it cut down about 1" or so, to use for trips. I think the Dark 2011 looks really sick and would use it around here when not using the GPS. . .
Thanks again.

I am short but went with the OEM 2012 windshield dimensions.  If you have a height/width in mind let me know and I'll pass it on.  I also entertained adding Clearview's vent but it made the windshield look too busy.  They are going to play with it or do a work around. I will post pics when I get it back.  I will also provide pics of what the magnets on Polk Audio speakers look like, the modification of the inner fairing piece for the Polk Audio speakers, etc. While I am waiting for the windshield to be made I have my bike at Gunslingers Custom Paint Shop. Gunslinger painted all of our ConVs. They are the best and are painting hard saddlebags to match the design on the burgundy-colored 2010 CVO.  With any luck both projects will be completed at the same time and I will be able to post all of the mods I have made thus far. Thanks to the advice the 2010 owners on this forum gave me, my bike should be fabulous. I cannot wait to get Saphira back.

I finally received all of the parts from Rebecca this weekend and completed the install. As is often the case, once you have all of the parts laid out in front of you, you can easily see how everything fits together.
I was a little nervous at first when I began drilling, but took the advice others gave regarding starting with the smaller bits and working up to the right size.
I am happy with the appearance, but I have not road tested it yet. I have enclosed some pictures.

I have not gotten the GPS unit yet, but in the meantime, I used some industrial velcro and attached my mp-3 player to the bracket. Keeps me from having to dig it out of the small compartment.
