    So, this is a nice and HERETICAL idea I had.
    The reasoning I had it is Georgia's weather is absolute trash. Start riding in the upper 70s, nice and sunny, end it in the lower 40s with rain. Yay, cold and wet.

    The idea itself is simple and straightforward. The bike already has saddlebags in the form of ammo cans, and rather than an ugly, boring sheet of plexiglass for a windshield... why not the front fairing from a Harlet Davidson Street Glide? Or whatever "glide" has the dual front headlights and a boxy design. I already found a kit on ebay for the shell, and I kinda need to fix my gauges anyway, so why not just find a way to slap that big boy on there and make it a more touring friendly Maximum instead of a wind battering maxim?

    It's just an idea for now. I'd like some feedback to see if it could even be done in yalls opinion, and what some things I might need to account for might be

    Anything is possible ,mounting brackets will be biggest hurdle, I would recommend adding a steering stabilizer. Yamaha had this when equipped with the fairing kit . I bought 2 of these off eBay so they do come up for sale. Cheers
