I've had this fairing about 7 months. No regrets. I installed the rockford fosgate audio system, which is expensive but great if you like music. I wanted to let you know that if you do get this audio system, the screws that advanblack uses to secure the windshield won't work with the rockford unit. Advanblack may have changed this. But if not, harley sells them for $16 a piece x 6😅, just go to the hardware store. I think they are 10 24 coarse thread $4 for all 6.
@markoconnor9865 I would assume your install would be the same as on a lowrider st. I've watched several videos for that install, and it looks straight forward. Only tuff part is opening up the connectors to remove the little white plug HD puts in the blank holes. You can definitely do it yourself!
@cesarromero8187 yes! The ones that Advanblack sent me were trash. I hope they have changed them by now. I bought a Clearview windshield that came with much better fitting bushings.
That fairing looks great! Didn’t know aftermarket options were available like this. Also. What was the name of those crash guards? I want to look those up myself.
Speaking of the fairing flex...lol Broke the bottom two body trim clip mounts for the upper windshield insert on my Road King Special. To Advanblacks credit, they did warranty out the inner fairing and overnighted a replacement inner so it was rectified within a week, but 2 months in it was a little disheartening. Personally, I'm not sure it was Advanblacks fault, as the design is almost a direct pull from the Harley example, the trim clip design just seems a little light duty, especially for crappy Wisconsin roads. My solution? Get the stereo, as it ties into the inner steel support plate and braces the entire top side of the fairing significantly more. If the stereo is out of your budget/bike setup ideal I'd suggest fabricating a support plate that utilizes the upper threaded bosses on the inner support plate, and runs up and bolts to the upper windshield insert for the inner fairing to add some much needed braced support. I may make a video on this, using my broken fairing and the upper insert for prototyping purposes. No added visible bolts for the fairing would be ideal, but I'm not exactly sure its possible. We'll see.

Hey bro, sick bike! I got the ST fairing as well, question though.. I got forward controls, can’t tell if you do but how were you able to mount the crash bar? I’m having a hard time figuring it out since flat bars usually mount where the forward mount. Any response is appreciated

@@IronBornRiderdid you need a longer tank bolt between the support bracket and the main fairing bracket? I went the cheaper route with the tcmt fairing and am sourcing the rest of the parts separately so idk if advan black included a longer tank bolt
Not to hate on you bro. Your videos are pretty informative. But as a fan of the low rider st. Don’t buy this. Waste of money. You want looks ? You will get it. But That’s all. They are super flimsy. Along with those touring saddlebags they offer. They do a heck of a job paint matching . I will give them that. But not worth it. Like you said ,it feels “cheap “. Get the real thing. You could purchase every piece to build it, except for the fairing stay bracket. They are vin restricted . But if you’re cool with your parts guy at your local dealer, there is a way. Trust me. …Hope you enjoy your set up. Ride safe.
All good, appreciate the advice. It’s too late for me I already bought the fairing lol but the reason I went with advanblack is because they made it easy. I have a 2020 and would’ve had the drill a hole through the neck to retro fit the oem, didn’t want to go that far. Although the fairing feels a bit cheap overall I’m still happy with it. It gives me the functionality I need and has the looks at a much lower price point.

Thanks brother!
Congrats on the new fairing!
Thanks Kenny!
I like it. Do i start considering ST bob?
The answer is yes
We did a vid on installing a ST Fairing on our StreetBob and we've officially named the bike "BobST".

Second person that said that about the rubber grommets. Hopefully their customer service gets the memo and takes care of their customers. Looks sick
Yeah hopefully they can get some quality grommets. Otherwise pretty good imo
Looks good! :D
Better than a streetglide fairing 😂
