Your friends right. Gas eats at paint, your clear coat saved your paint. Ive used bad gas out of an older bike to strip the paint off the tank! Worked great.
I don't like the rubber grommets that the headlight screws into my RK bezel, a few are always loose so I'm going to replace them with metal clips. Gonna have to GoFund me some spray bomb user-repellant satin black for the Fro-riders fairing...
Just caught this video, I was seriously thinking about putting an FXRT or FXRP fairing on my 18 Road King, what are your thoughts? Also New Paltz has some great riding up there. Just got back from NY/NJ and went from Mahwah NJ over to Greenwood Lake then over to the westside of NJ over to Hawks Nest up to Hancock NY. Was a great ride, Northern NJ and NY State is the most under rated riding. I love it up there. Thanks for a reply in advance about the fairing. Keep the shiny side up !!!!
I put a Hogworkz Halo headlight on my SG and after 1 ride it almost fell out. I dont think they tighten the screws on the springs in the factory. Need to be tightened during install. Seems to me to happen with alot of headlights. Just my opinion, ride safe.
I put my fairing on the other day and the same thing happened to me the hex screws with the Allen’s I was riding home and heard rattling and immediately thought of this video LOL
Great video as always... question, who makes that fairing on your ride as well as dyna? What size headlight do I need? I am thinking about pulling a trigger to get this fxrt fairing on my 20 m8 softail low rider s... appreciate your feedback.
Thanks! RWD makes the fairing, and you'll need a 7 inch headlight for it. Check out Matt Laidlaw's channel, he has a bunch of videos on that particular setup on a 2020 LRS!
Also wondering Is this fairing hinder lane splitting or is this just my illusion? I am currently rocking with memphis shades road warrior with 13 inches and so far no issues with visibility when splitting. It seems the fxrt fairing is wider than MS.
One note, though, what was the issue with the headlight falling off from the bracket? Do I need to be concerned with fxrt fairing, or is it the installation issue? Appreciate your feedback
Bro its Nick. I had the RWD FXRT Fairing for 2 years, headlight never came out. I never even heard of that before. I would be interested in opening yours and Fro's and seeing whats going on in there
Man I feel like it's been forever since we did the OBI ride - Yeah that would be great, I'd be interested for you to see what's going on inside of there
What kind of boots are those in 8:26? I was thinking of getting some work boots (Caterpillar or similar) for riding too, any input would be much appreciated
Those are Carharrt Loggers that he's wearing - He's part of a really good union that I believe provides boots like that annually. Me myself, I run Thorogoods these days and the Fro wearing Redwings
Don't worry I pulled the pump out and clicked 93 yesterday and went to put it into the tank and it spilled out all over my fresh paint job without even pulling the lever to activate the gas flow.... I was fucking pissed. New paint job with just about 30days on the tank treated, wiped it off with my sweatshirt and napkins immediately. I was hours away from home, hopefully the paint is treated especially with 6 coats of clear coat ;)
It’s most likely the mounting bracket. The mounting brackets are specifically designed for the angle of the neck or the rake of the forks you could say. It looks like the bracket he has is meant for a slightly more raked out front end. That’s just about the only thing that could be causing that issue with it.

It’s definitely a common issue I lock tight mine
Good move! 🗽⚡️

Jeff I don't know man, I've done it a million times and nothing's ever happened!
Bs u strip a tank with gas unless it was painted with non automotive paint with no hardener.
Lock tight is your friend bro!
Now that, is a great idea. Next time I get in there will for sure bring some!
Use the blue not the red

haha honestly, I kind of dig the way it looks unpainted in contrast with that flat black paint!
klockworks makes better screw grommets

Yep, I know those roads well - Go for it, I've soon some cool RK builds with that fairing
@@FXDLSBrooklyn Thanks for the advice . Wish I knew you guys when I lived in Brooklyn. Never had many people to ride with. Peace !!!

Thanks Joe! That's good to know moving forward, it was a surprising this to happen.

Right? Seems pretty common!
@@FXDLSBrooklyn yeah I just used a little blue loctite. It’s been good since then lol

I've had the fxrt fairing on my bike since last year and never had that happen before.
This is good info! So bizarre that it happened to both of us as I am finding that it is uncommon.
Can I ask what the height is on your buddy's windshield. cause it looks like he got the klock werks thank you
Yeah it's Klock Werks, I think it's also somewhere around 8'', maybe slightly higher
Damn dude all your bikes sound rowdy. Especially the one you got from Peter Gunz
By design 🔊
Does the fairing move when you hit bumps?
Nope
Damn, thought I was the only one that happened to. Got a genuine fxrp fairing. Heaps of locktite and good to go now 🤙🏼
Really? Happened to you to? Yeah man, locktite is the move here for sure

Thank you so much bro, was having some doubts in that regard. No more tho.
Can you feel the weight of the fairing at low speeds or high speeds? Does it take getting use to? Love the channel!!
You can definitely feel it as opposed to a smaller fairing or naked, but it is wayyyyyy lighter than how it appears
Should be noted a FXRT fairing bolts to the frame. It won't shake the bars. 1/4 fairing bolts to the Forks
Where did you get that gauge relocation kit?
What brand did you go with for the fairing?
RWD
You guys were ripping hard in this one. You know I love me some spicy riding.
haha we do what we can! Thanks for support C1st!
Which fairing is it? Russ Wernimont?
Correct - RWD
got same fairing light has fallen out twice even with lock tite
Damn! Yeah seems to be a common problem
How would you describe handling of the dyna frame geometry with the road glide rake and trail maneuvering of these bikes?
Still handles like a dyna with the aerodynamics of a Road Glide
Where did u get the fairing from?
RWD
Seeing your Gas prices in this video made me sad lol $2 buckss...ahh good ol days
Lol we didn't know how good we had it
What kind of fairings are those and where can I purchase one??

Yeah honestly, I think gas evaporates so fast that it's just not a factor. I've done it so many times and nothing happened to the paint
@@FXDLSBrooklyn agreed. dont get gas done after a paint job though, i was lucky its dry out and been 30days
I cannot wait to ride!
It looks his faring hangs froward.
Yeah it does, doesn't it? Why would that be?
It might be the way it’s installed Idk I don’t have one yet lol. But soon

Guy never calls me to go riding?
Awesome,getting on those throttles lol
You know it! #sorrymom

Is it possible to rock ape hangers with that fairing? Thank you.
I don't see why not, you would certainly have something unique going for you.
Dude, 18 ft to make a U turn. You have the bike for it, practice.
Thanks for checking it out!
