This was needed to provide sufficient mating surface with the plastic fairing flanges. After multiple fittings, eye-balling, and measuring, I came up a design pattern that would require adding additional surface area to the release mounts. Well, I did do the HD training school on a 500 lb bike and test rode a Chieftain and a Challenger, but that's it! I swear!įor the fairing project, I stripped off the quick release mounts from the Springfield windshield and trimmed them with a hacksaw and Roto-zip to apply to the Chieftain fairing. I'm now at about 18,000 miles between the two. All my riding experience is cataloged on the odometers of these two bikes. I also learned that the fury seat was not for long trips! I decided the seat that I was looking for was on the Springfield, so a couple of weeks after the Sturgis trip, I acquired my dream bike. I literally gained my motorcycle skillset and confidence during that week-long Sturgis experience. I slapped it all together just barley in time to ride from Omaha to Sturgis with four other HD riders. I upgraded all the lights to low profile LEDs, custom headlamp, fiberglass fenders and pulled/repaired dents on the tank then painted the bike parts. I wrecked the Honda (as expected) after 243 miles of riding experience! Insurance totaled it and I bought it back. A Chieftain or Springfield was my original dream, but didn't want my first motorcycle to be a high-end bike. I was a 55 year-old late comer to riding.
