I haven't seen any mention of it here, but Electric Terry posted some photos on Facebook. Looks like he's working with them on the airflow characteristics. Looks like it'll fit the S/SR bikes. It also looks SWEET and I hope it is reasonably affordable when it is finally released.

Still waiting to see the pictures...

Nice

I love it. The turn signals go somewhere. I'm not really attached to the headlight, though. A LED headlight with a reflector actually designed for LED with good optics would be nice.
-
Using the existing equipment as much as possible will help keep the costs down, which I also consider important. An LED replacement headlight as an OPTIONAL extra would be nice, as long as it accepts the stock unit by default. The current draw between the stock halogen lamp and an LED lamp might be worth 20 feet more travel distance in the real world. Not worth it to me.

What's up with that battery arrangement?

Looks like two added longbrick batteries one on each side. Not related to the sport fairing.
-
Yeah he has extra batteries and a 4 brick diginow SCv2 charger below where the onboard used to be.
-
Why not use mirrors with turn signals in them?

According to Terry on Facebook, Hollywood Electrics is working on manufacturing now and the fairings should be available for sale within two months (just in time for Christmas?). No word on pricing or color matching (yet).
-
Thanks for the interest. The fairing that Terry is using is a final production unit, as are the fairings on the race bike. More are being manufactured but it is a time consuming and expensive process at low volumes. We've made this a turnkey install for those with 2014+ S/DS/SR/DSR bikes, OEM colors will be offered for 2017+ models. We will have more information on pricing and availability shortly but in the meantime if you want to be put on our waiting list, (no deposit required), you can email us at info at hollywoodelectrics.com

I'm buying one as soon as I'm allowed to.
I think I'll put it on my 2013 DS (which will require some mounting modifications; 2014+ models are the intended target with S/SR seemingly ideal) because my DSR is deep into the streamlining spectrum already but hopefully the adaptation will be worthwhile to document and the bike should look really good.

I saw it in person yesterday. Sharp. I like how you followed the lines of the pincers.
So I hear there will be stock colors as well as custom paint jobs?
> ... as are the fairings on the race bike. ...
And where can this race bike be seen? Do you keep it at your dealership between races?

I've added a section for this on the wiki:

Here are the race versions (without a headlamp cutout) with non-FB links:

Harlan/anyone,
From the (obviously non-final) pics, this looks more like a quarter-fairing rather than a traditional sport-touring half- or full-fairing.
What're the primary targets here? Wind-free pocket for the rider? Rain protection?
What's the effect on range at highway speeds (70mph)? For me, a significant improvement there would be needed to justify a fairing.

Terry is running around with one. It seems to be about increased comfort and drag reduction with about a solid 15% highway range recovery/increase.
I, too, would like a fuller fairing for smoothing the air around my legs and feet and shielding them from the weather, but Harlan's goal was to complement the existing styling of the bike and be reasonable for owners to install themselves.

Actually, 15% for a quarter-fairing isn't bad at all... I'll be following this one.
-
Hey Harlan...........don't forget about us FX/S riders. There's not a lot of good windscreen options out there at the moment so we could use your help.

Jeremiah Johnson just rode my bike to Mexico alongside 3 other Zero's and a Brammo. The Brammo would always run out at about 50 miles and have to make everyone else stop. The 2017 Zero bikes both had charge tanks, so no power tank, just 13 kWh and at highway speeds would usually have 20% SOC remaining, and Jeremiah on my bike with exactly 26 kWh for the trip would have about 65-70% remaining. However he did have the fairing also. So it looks like again he was consistently getting about 15% better range because of the fairing going the same highway speeds side by side with other Zero's for over 1000 miles.

Nice, but he would also get extra losses due to the 2 extra batteries on the side, so it could be possible to get an even bigger increase for a standard bike.
