Also my bars are higher than stock so they are higher than what would be normal and stick out from behind fairing. Now I am also thinking about stretching the holes maybe and lifting it little higher but ill wait to ride.

Also my radio will not fit in stock spot but i got a plan and i think it will work pics later if it does.

Ok here we go some more fab work to mount radio

now knowing i would need to cut the brackets so i stopped to pick up a cutting disc arbor my die grinder witht he cutter is out on loan and to hard to get fast.. So Find the arbor 10$ i think not .. off to harbor freight during the work day and Bam a cutter only die grinder with shield 7.99 with disc all ready on it ..

I have a 1976 stock HD fairing on a RK head light, bolts right on. I think the older bat wings without the inner fairing will bolt up to a RK no prob. Find them at a swap meet cheap, save some $ and have real HD bat wing fairing.

Oh ya very adjustable, I think they will fit softails as well.
