Batwing Fairings for Harley Road King: Which Road King Fairing Is Right for Your Build?

Choosing the right Road King fairing depends on the look, wind protection, audio setup, and installation style you want for your Harley Davidson Road King. Some riders want a classic batwing fairing that keeps the bike’s touring style. Others want a stereo batwing for Road King models with speakers, Bluetooth, multimedia, and a head unit selected as part of the package. Some want a Road Glide styling fairing for Road King, while others prefer an FXR or FXRT fairing for their Road King.

At Vector Batwing Fairings, we offer several fairing options that are compatible with Road King models, including DIY fairing shells and fairing packages with audio component options. Whether you want a standard Road King fairing shell, a fairing with speakers and stereo system options, a Road Glide-inspired upgrade, or an FXR-style fairing, the right choice comes down to your bike, your riding style, and how much customization you want.

Road King Fairing Options We Offer

The Harley Davidson Road King is already a classic touring motorcycle, but adding a fairing can change the riding experience in a big way. A fairing can help with wind protection, reduce direct air pressure at speed, give the bike a stronger front-end look, and create space for speakers, a digital media receiver, or other accessories.

Road King-compatible fairing options include:

• Harley Road King Batwing Fairing with Speakers and Stereo System 147-0000
• Harley Davidson Road Glide Fairing for Road King
• Harley Road King Batwing Fairing 76-0000
• XL Harley Davidson Road King Batwing Fairing 0095
• Harley FXR / FXRT Style Fairing with Speakers, Amplifier and Media Receiver, using the Road King without crash bars configuration

Each model serves a different type of rider. Some are better for a DIY road king fairing build, while others are designed for riders who want a fairing package with audio components available as part of the selected setup.

Harley Road King Batwing Fairing With Speakers and Stereo System

The Harley Road King Batwing Fairing with Speakers and Stereo System is a strong option for riders who want a stereo batwing for Road King models. Instead of starting with a shell and sourcing every audio component separately, this package lets you build your own Vector Power Sound Package by selecting the fairing design, speaker configuration, speaker brand, and power source.

This fairing is designed for riders who want wind protection, sound, and a finished touring look in one package. It is listed as fitting most Road King models, including Classic and Special, but riders should always review the fitment details before purchase because factory upgrades, aftermarket parts, and model variations can affect installation.

Depending on the selected configuration, available audio options may include:

• Rockford Fosgate PMX-1
• Rockford Fosgate PMX-2
• Boss Audio MRCP9685A touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Glovebox option with 400W amp and no head unit
• Rockford speaker options
• Kicker speaker options

For the fairing shell and speaker configuration, riders can choose a simulated vent or smooth Vector Batwing Fairing and opt for two oval 6" x 9" speakers, two round 6 1/2" speakers, or four round 5 1/4" speakers. Available options may vary by fairing selection.

Kicker speaker options combine the tweeter and woofer into one coaxial speaker design. These 4Ω speakers are water-resistant and available in 6 1/2", 4 x 5 1/4", and 6" x 9" sizes. Rockford Fosgate Punch speaker options are available in 5 1/4" and 6" x 9" sizes and are designed to deliver a full range of sound.

The Boss MRCP9685A stereo includes a 6.75" touchscreen display, USB smartphone connection for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, Bluetooth capability, AM/FM radio, and digital music access by flash drive. Rockford PMX options are a better fit for riders who want a compact digital media receiver with Bluetooth, USB, AM/FM, and marine-grade audio features.

This can be a strong fairing option for a Road King rider who wants a fairing package with speakers and stereo system options planned into the build.

Harley Road King Batwing Fairing 76-0000 for DIY Builds

The Harley Road King Batwing Fairing 76-0000 is a better fit for riders who want to build their own setup. This is the standard Road King fairing shell option for customers who want a DIY road king fairing build rather than a pre-configured audio package.

This fairing is built with solid hand-laid fiberglass construction, a smooth gelcoat finish, and space for stereo or electronic components. It is designed to fit most Road King models, including Classic and Special, and is listed for 1994-present Harley-Davidson Road King and FLHTC Electra Glide Classic models. Because Harley Davidson models, factory upgrades, and aftermarket parts can vary, some modification may be necessary.

The standard Road King batwing fairing page lists three fairing style options:

• Smooth Front Fairing
• Simulated Vent Fairing, which accepts a digital media receiver and not a traditional single DIN head unit
• Simulated Vent Open Glove Box Fairing with no cutouts

Available speaker cutout styles include:

• Smooth 2 speaker 6 x 9 cutouts
• Smooth 4 speaker 5 1/4-inch cutouts
• Smooth 6 1/2-inch round cutouts
• Simulated vent 6 x 9 cutouts
• Simulated vent 4 speaker 5 1/4-inch cutouts
• Simulated vent 6 1/2-inch round cutouts
• Simulated vent open glove box with no speaker cutouts
• Simulated vent open glove box with diversion safe

This makes the 76-0000 fairing a good choice if you already have a specific head unit, speaker model, amp, or custom sound plan in mind. It also works well for riders who want to choose their own components, or replace an older front fairing setup with a cleaner custom look. Additionally, any Vector fairing can be customized to match your motorcycle's factory paint job; standard models feature a black gelcoat finish that can optionally be painted after light prepping, while the FXR and Road Glide models ship fully primed and will require painting prior to final installation

For planning purposes, the product page lists speaker opening dimensions for the 2 speaker 6 x 9 model, 4 speaker 5 1/4-inch model, and 2 speaker 6 1/2-inch model. The overall dimensions without windshield are listed as 39 1/2 inches long, 11 1/2 inches wide, and 17 inches high, with a listed windshield height of 5 1/2 inches.

XL Harley Davidson Road King Batwing Fairing 0095

The XL Harley Davidson Road King Batwing Fairing 0095 is designed for riders who want a larger batwing fairing look with more wind protection than the standard Road King fairing. This model is also listed as fitting most Road King models, including Classic and Special.

This fairing may be a better choice for riders who want a stronger bagger style, more front-end presence, and more space for a bigger amp and better sound. Depending on the selected package, riders may also see XL shell configurations available within the Road King audio fairing options.

The standard Road King batwing fairing is a strong classic option, but the XL fairing is aimed at riders who want more wind protection and a bigger visual upgrade. For long highway rides, added fairing coverage may help improve comfort by reducing direct wind pressure on the rider.

Harley Davidson Road Glide Fairing for Road King

The Harley Davidson Road Glide Fairing for Road King is made for riders who like the Shark Nose look but want it on a Road King. This upgrade brings the signature Road Glide aesthetic and a more aggressive style to your bike, and is available as a blank DIY setup for custom builds or as a complete package with integrated Rockford Fosgate or Kicker audio components.

The Road Glide-style fairing is built as a one-piece unibody fairing and is positioned as a way to reduce the guesswork of a Road Glide-style conversion. We include all the necessary mounting hardware with your kit, which is specifically designed to bolt directly to the existing mounting points on most Road King models. As with any fairing upgrade, we recommend reviewing our fitment details before purchasing to ensure a perfect match for your specific bike.

Options with speakers and stereo system include:

• SKU: 14-0427-0607 — Rockford PMX-2 Stereo with 4 Rockford 5 1/4" Speakers P152
• SKU: 14-0427-0507 — Rockford PMX-2 Stereo with 4 Kicker 5 1/4" Speakers 10PS52504

The Road Glide fairing for Road King is a strong option for riders who want more than a standard batwing fairing. It is especially useful if you want a fuller audio setup, a more modern front profile, and a fairing that changes the bike’s front-end style.

 Overall dimensions without windshield are listed as 34.5 inches long, 17.2 inches wide, and 15.5 inches high. This fairing includes one tinted 8-inch recurve windshield.

FXR and FXRT Fairing for Road King Builds

The Harley FXR / FXRT Style Fairing with Speakers, Amplifier and Media Receiver is another option for riders looking for a different Road King fairing build. This model is inspired by the FXR style and is available in a Road King without crash bars configuration.

For Road King fitment, our fairing is designed for Road King without crash bars, including FLHR, FLHRCI, and FLHRSI models. It excludes models using a separate gauge on or forward of the handlebars. We recommend using at least an 8-inch pullback riser handlebar to clear the fairing, and we highly advise test-fitting components before final installation or painting because headlight depths can vary.

This fairing is built for riders who want an FXR fairing for Road King or FXRT fairing for Road King look with a serious audio package available. Audio components listed for this model include:

• Rockford Fosgate M2 6.5" speakers
• Rockford Fosgate M2 tweeters
• Rockford Fosgate M5-800X4 800-watt 4-channel amplifier
• Rockford Fosgate PMX-0 digital media receiver

The PMX-0 is a compact, weather-resistant digital media receiver designed for riders who want audio control without a bulky head unit. The Rockford M2 speakers and tweeters are designed for clear, durable sound, while the M5-800X4 amplifier provides additional power for riders who want a more aggressive audio setup.

This fairing is a good fit for riders who want a more performance-inspired style, a premium sound package, and a front fairing that stands apart from the traditional batwing or Road Glide look.

Important Note About Simulated Vent Fairings

Some Vector fairing options use a simulated vent or vented-look design. These terms refer to the cosmetic design of the fairing only. The Vector Batwing Fairing does not have a functioning vent, and Vector does not offer a truly vented fairing.

This is important to understand before purchase, especially if you are comparing a simulated vent fairing with a fairing that has an actual airflow vent.

DIY Shell or Fairing With Audio Options: Which Should You Choose?

One of the biggest choices in a Road King fairing build is whether you want a shell for a DIY project or a fairing package with audio components selected as part of the setup.

A DIY shell is a good choice if you:

• Already have a preferred stereo, speakers, amp, or head unit
• Want to control every part of the sound system
• Are looking for a budget-friendly baseline option to customize at your own pace
• Plan to source your own audio wiring and electronics accessories, while utilizing our included brackets and mounting hardware

A fairing with audio options is a better choice if you:

• Want a complete, plug-and-play setup with premium stereos and speakers bundled directly into your order
• Prefer a pre-configured audio package that eliminates the need to research, match, or test separate electronics
• Want options like Bluetooth, multimedia, CarPlay, or a digital media receiver
• Do not want to source every audio component separately
• Want a cleaner starting point with compatible selections offered on the product page

For many riders, the stereo batwing for the Road King package can save planning time and reduce the number of decisions required. For custom builders, the shell-only option gives more control over the final setup.

Audio Components Available for Road King Fairings

Different Road King fairing models offer different audio options, but the main categories include speakers, head units, digital media receivers, amplifiers, and CarPlay-capable touchscreen systems.

Speakers

Speaker options may include Rockford speakers and Kicker speakers depending on the fairing model. Common speaker sizes include 5 1/4-inch, 6 1/2-inch, and 6 x 9 options. The right speaker choice depends on the fairing shell, speaker opening dimensions, desired sound level, and how much space is available inside the fairing.

Digital Media Receivers and Head Units

Some Road King fairing packages accept a digital media receiver rather than a traditional single DIN radio. For the standard Road King batwing fairing, the simulated vent fairing is listed as accepting a digital media receiver and not a traditional single DIN head unit.

Digital media receiver options feature the Rockford Fosgate PMX series, including the compact PMX-0, PMX-1, and PMX-2 models depending on your specific fairing configuration. These PMX receivers are an excellent choice for riders who want robust Bluetooth connectivity, USB inputs, AM/FM radio, and weather-resistant, compact control.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

For riders who want a more modern multimedia setup, the Boss MRCP9685A touchscreen option includes a 6.75" display, USB smartphone connection for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, Bluetooth capability, AM/FM radio, and digital music access by flash drive. This can be a strong choice if you want music apps, smartphone connection, and a touchscreen interface built into the fairing system.

Amplifiers

Some packages include amplifier options, such as a 400W amp configuration or the Rockford Fosgate M5-800X4 amplifier used in the FXR-style fairing package. An amp can help improve sound output, especially for riders who want audio that can be heard over wind, road noise, and engine sound.

Windshield Options for Road King Fairings

Windshield choice affects both style and riding comfort. A shorter windshield can give the bike a lower, cleaner profile, while a taller windshield may provide more wind protection depending on rider height, seat position, and riding style.

Applicable Road King batwing fairings include one clear and one tinted windshield at no additional cost. The Road Glide fairing for Road King includes one tinted 8-inch recurve windshield. The FXR-style fairing includes one tinted windshield.

Replacement fairing windshields are also available. For standard fairings, replacement windshields are offered in 5-inch and 10-inch heights, with clear, amber, and gray smoked color options.

When choosing windshield height, think about:

• How much wind protection you want
• Your riding posture
• Seat height
• Helmet style
• Whether you prefer a lower custom look or more coverage
• How much air you want directed over or around your head

There is no single best windshield for every rider. The best choice is the one that balances comfort, wind protection, style, and visibility for your bike.

Fitment Notes Before You Purchase

Before ordering any fairing for a Road King, review the fitment tab and product details carefully. Many fairings are listed as fitting most Road King models, including Classic and Special models, but Harley Davidson motorcycles can vary because of model year, factory upgrades, custom aftermarket parts, handlebar changes, headlight depth, crash bars, and gauges.

If you are specifically searching for a detachable fairing, review the product fitment details, included brackets, and installation requirements carefully before purchase, since fairing mount style can vary by model and configuration.

Important fitment notes include:

• Some fairings are designed for 1994-present Harley-Davidson Road King models and FLHTC Electra Glide Classic.
• Some modification may be necessary depending on the bike.
• The Road King batwing fairing may require Harley part HD#68712-94A.
• Some fairings include only the brackets shown in the included brackets image.
• The FXR-style Road King configuration is for Road King models without crash bars.
• The FXR-style fairing excludes Road King models with a separate gauge on or forward of the handlebars.
• Test-fitting is essential before painting.
• Orders over $600 require an adult to be present and sign for the package upon delivery. Carriers typically make up to three delivery attempts before returning the package to us at the customer's expense. We certainly don't want this to happen.
• Standard DIY shells typically ship the next business day. Custom audio builds require extra assembly time, which varies depending on the season, so we recommend checking our current turnaround times before purchase.

These details matter because a fairing is not just a cosmetic accessory. It affects the front of the bike, the ride, the sound system, the mount, and the overall riding experience.

Which Road King Fairing Is Best?

The best fairing depends on what you want from the upgrade.

Choose the Harley Road King Batwing Fairing with Speakers and Stereo System if you want a fairing package with speaker and stereo system options.

Choose the Harley Road King Batwing Fairing 76-0000 if you want a standard Road King fairing shell for a DIY project.

Choose the FXR / FXRT Style Fairing with Speakers, Amplifier and Media Receiver if you want a more aggressive FXR-style build with Rockford audio components available in the package.

For most riders, the decision comes down to three questions:

1. Do you want a DIY shell or a fairing package with audio options?
2. Do you prefer a batwing, Road Glide, XL, or FXR-style look?
3. How much sound, wind protection, and customization do you want?
