Quarter fairings have been making a comeback lately, and now with the advent of high-quality big-wattage power-sports audio, these new crop of fairings do more than just block the wind.
Take for instance the Imzz Elite Audio Fairing. It is a two-piece vacuum injection, fiberglass molded, and each fairing is made by hand one by one to ensure the highest quality product. It also had enough space between the two halves of the fairing to house some pretty hefty tuneage.
The initial $625 gets you the inner and outer fairing pieces in ready-to-paint condition, a rubber gasket to ensure watertight seal, a clear headlight lens, and some universal fork leg mounting hardware that’s easy to install.
We went full tilt and ordered our fairing direct from Imzz fully wired with a set of Rockford Fosgate T165 6.5-inch speakers, Rockford Fosgate PBR3000x4 300-watt amplifier, and Imzz’s own amazing Bluetooth/volume control knob, which makes pairing any smartphone a simple experience. Imzz even color-matched it in-house to ensure quality. The complete fairing came it at $1,750, and the California company can and will ship these “ready to run” anywhere in the world. Follow along as Jim from Imzz Elite takes us through the process of installing this fairing on a Dyna from tip to tail.
The first things we had to get were these stock 2015 H-D Dyna Street Bob handlebars off of this bike for something better.

As you can see, the simplistic styling of Burly’s T-bars will not interfere with the Imzz fairing install.

With an added set of hands, the fairing was then slid onto the fork mounts.

The four fork mounts and headlight needed to all be aligned to work together and properly adjusted.
