Title: How to modify a 2010 FLSTSE fairing to a 2011 style with sound
Post by: RCFlyer on November 14, 2010, 04:01:52 PM: I started a new post, so everyone would see this in case they missed this in an older post listed below. Attached is a complete word document with pictures to modify a 2010 fairing to the 2011 style with sound with part numbers needed to purchase. If anybody tries this, please post your results. Please verify for yourself, as I don't guarantee anything in this post. I think it is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge with the information that I have available to me.

That is really a bummer and way too much coin for what you get and I may look for an aftermarket solution that I can retrofit. I wonder if you can buy the entire windshield assembly and if that would be cheaper? Thanks for taking the time pricing it out.

Yes Mike, that was with the 20% discount. I think I'm going with the Fat Boy sound system if I do anything. I don't really like the stock fairing. It doesn't block the wind like the Fat Boy one does. I changed the windshield and I still don't like the stock fairing, not looks, just the functionality of it. I even have the lower fork deflectors, which helps but it's not enough.

It old get used a couple of months out of the year (and I live in San Diego). If I had bought a 2011, I would be pi$$ed about having a sound system the I can't use much.

I'm thinking about a system with the Chrome speakers mounted to the bars, this way it doesn't matter what shield I have on or I could go naked and still have tunes.

Good idea Gamma. I was going to buy the fairing mounted ones, but the handle bar ones are probably a better choice.
