i saw them in laconia, it looks to be a well thought out product, they even say they can paint to match the FLHRSEI flames

it seems to be the one i keep going back to but i'm looking for feedback in stead of just going by a sales pitch

I saw this one on dragonfly website.

back up to page 5 of this thread and you'll see two pics of the paint on mine. As I mentioned, a local painter did it. Cost was about $750-850, not sure exactly, he painted two complete saddlebags and the inner and outer fairing shells for $1,500   Anyway, I saw the Dragonfly in Laconia as well and found a shop here in Dago that sells em as well. Maybe it's just me, but I did not like the attachement brkt being made out of fiberglass. Also the brkt is sooooo think, I'm not sure if you can even put spots on with it

spots are no problem with dragonfly

the lighbulb comes on

 head unit is by Eclipse  200 watts AM/FM , CD and wired for Sirius Satelite Four - 5 1/2" Marine speakers

wasn't dissin the Dragonfly, looks like a good product. Just preferred the Hoppe

FYI the Dragonfly Tach Brkt DOES NOT FIT  the dash of a SERK it' s made to fit a stock RK

bought one had to send it back

I was thinking of using that tach mount.  I need to rethink my plans and maybe consider one of those combo setups, but I hate the idea of doing it in black...  Just doesn't go with the bike.

BigBrian, did you remove the tach and riser cover as a unit and get a plain riser cover to replace the one with the 100 year anniversary logo and tach?

Naitram, did you have to get longer studs to accomodate the dragonfly and passing light backets?

It's good to see "TODAY" as last posted on the SERK group lately [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Thanks,

well I haven't set up for the road yet, but the test fit before paint was without the tach   I have a stock riser cover with no tach brkt or holes  the previous owner didn't like the looks of the tach so it was off the bike when i bought it    wierd huh   since I don't play street rod when I'm playing UltraSerk  I don't think I'll miss the tach   the only time I plan on usin the fairing is on long one week, two week rides  that's like twice a year  i wanted the extra protection of the fairing and the stereo  other than that the windshield is good  only takes about 1/2 hour to pull the headlight and install/remove the tach      no big deal

Thanks for the info.  I'll be buying a plain cover and carefully store my tach and anniversary cover.

nait  just to add part number 69227-04A the fancy spotlight brkt you have to use longer bolts, the dragonfly supports are like 1/2" thick dude  I know you can make it work, but you might want get some real long studs, cut em to length  and put acorns on the end of them

[naitram]

ok, what am i missing here...... if the passing bracket that i already have sits outside of the fairing legs how are my studs not long enough?

[SPIDERMAN]

Ok  have you tried the fairing on your bike yet. If so, did the brkts fit inside the passing lamp brkts ? And, did you have more than one or two threads holding the whole works together ? If yes to both of those questions then you don't have a problem, if no to the first, you need to check and if no to the 2nd after you check then you need longer studs or bolts which ever you are using.

That's pretty much it. I had to go to longer bolts with the fancy passing lamp brkt. They come with it. My fairing brkts are almost a dead ringer for the factory windshield brkts. No problem IMHO had I bought a Dragonfly I would have needed longer bolts.

Bottom Line, Nait  You're there, I'm not  seeing is believing.

Adios

got a few more weeks until i will see it for myself, dfly is supposed to fit where the windshiled was minus the rubber grometts so i think i will be ok with the studs that i got

[SPIDERMAN]

[highlight]minus the rubber grometts [/highlight]

didn't know you remove the grommets with the DF

  Hoppe gives you metal grommets, but it also works with the stock rubber ones. Only reason for that is according to Hoppe , Cops that used the Fairing had them blow off forward when parked by the side of the road writing tickets due to slip stream of traffic . I tried it with the stock rubber ones and it fit good and tight and since being parked in the breakdown lane is not my normal riding habit I may give it a try without the metal ones.
