Now.. picture the ConV with the bigger headlight and aux lights.

When I ran this idea by the wifey she said the bigger headlight looks to manly on this bike 

Well after all.. I did tell her I was buying it for her so...... I guess the small headlight is here to stay.


The mini-fairing is on to stay as well. At least until the weather begins to cool.

I have a quick question for you guys. Over the summer I have made several trips to the beach with the fat boy ws and like most, have the buffet problems over 60. based on the excellent data provided by you guys, I'll spring for the deflectors. Problem is, when around town (Annapolis) or when I reach the beach, the first think I do is strip the bike back to street version, which is the look I love. I'm worried about unscrewing and reattaching the deflectors over and over, possibly risking the integrity of the mount over time. Any of you guys have any input on this?

Thanks

I to have thought about this. It would be nice if we could design a quick release for the deflectors too. Maybe we could slot the holes and figure a lock of some sort. You'd want them tight so the don't blow from the wind and rattle. Any ideas?

This may sound odd but you might try some rare earth magnets. Those suckers really hold and with enough of them no amount of wind will move them. Might be worth testing with some scrap metal to see how it holds.
