Looks great.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

I'm liking it! Looking forward to more pics and some info on that fairing.

It is worth noting that I have HD Road King bags on my Wing. So I guess I also like parts of the "Harley look".

Topwingnut, it's looking great and will no doubt be one of the first of its kind. Expect a rash of Wingbaggers just as soon as it's out and about. Just on the fairings, a friend of mine has a selection of vintage batwings... I'm sure he could be persuaded to part with any for suitable compensation, let me know if you're interested.

Cheers
Dean
