Looks like they did a real nice job on it. You've got a green 99 don't you?

Reckless, Premeux and even the Harley batwing are all a square or rectangular cutout for the headlight. When it's installed on the bike it's not so "in your face" though.

Harley, Reckless, Premeux in that order

Look at the headlight cutout (on the fairing).

Harley



Reckless



Premeux

Question

Danimal2, on the lower picture of the gray and silver Vulcan there are lowers and radiator cover/scoop. Do you happen to know where they come from. Really sharp.

Sorry Heath. They're all just random pictures I found when searching for images of each fairing manufacturer's product.

Now that I look at the origin of the image, I think that might be Gadget's bike. The link leads back to his page.

I'm betting that somebody here has a link to hard lowers for our bikes. I used to have a link in favorites but lost a hard drive and didn't back it up.

Start a thread. I'm sure somebody will know.

Here's a link to JTD's hard lowers. Little photo gallery of how they look on the bike. Not bad.

Here's another link to a discussion with the owner of JTD here on this forum.

Yeah, I've seen the JTD lowers and they look good. The others were just a little different so figured I'd ask.

Thanks

BTW, I found the chin spoiler type radiator cover too. Says its for meanstreak, but think it would work on the nomad if not mistaken. Here's the link.

The fairing, trunk and lowers on that bike are all Premeux, not sure on the rad scoop.

Holy crap! $650 unpainted and $900 painted with one color for the lowers and that doesn't include shipping? Man those are e x p e n s i v e.

US to Canada exchange rate is 1:1 basically. They're very nice but that's crazy high and gotta wonder what the scoop goes for.

It almost looks like the scoop would be Premeaux too the way it blends in almost perfectly with the lowers. Didn't see it on their site though. Can't seem to find that anywhere.

The lower fairings are Premeux .I have them on my bike as well.
They are very well made products, the fairings are excellent and very well made.
You can order them painted to match your bike and its just a matter of bolting them on. I'm not sure who makes the rad shroud.
