How to Install Klock Werks FXRP Style Fairing On a Sport Glide

In case you didn’t know, there is quite the following surrounding Harley FXR models. These bikes have seen quite resurgence in recent years. At an even more granular level of fandom are those who pine after the FXRP or Pursuit Glides. These motorcycles were made for police duty and when were retired, many were chopped up into to custom bikes. There are few survivors in original condition.

One component that made the FXRP stand out was its fairing. The FXRP fairing was truly unique and has become a desirable style for many custom builds. Klock Werks has seen this demand grow and decided to replicate the fairing themselves.
