Well I am going to be installing a firebolt front fairing on my 05 lightning. I am going to chop the fairing down,and was just wondering if anyone can post any pics of chopped front fairings and how much was chopped. Thanks

looks nice, but how hard would it be cleaning the bugs out of the headlight grill...

the bugs are easy to clean out, just some degrees and a rag. Never had a probably with keeping it clean. It was super easy to go, just some wire gutter mesh and black automotive glue.

It's a pretty straight forward swap...
