Saddlemen S-RT Mini Fairing Kit for Harley-Davidson Dyna Models (2006–2017)
Bring high-performance West Coast pursuit bagger styling to your 49mm front-end V-Twin with the Saddlemen S-RT Mini Fairing, custom-engineered for Harley-Davidson Dyna models spanning model years 2006 through 2017. Inspired by the legendary 1980s FXRT police fairings, Saddlemen has masterfully scaled down the massive footprint of the original tour-style bodywork into a compact, aggressive mid-fairing setup optimized specifically for modern 49mm Dyna chassis platforms.
Riding a late-model Twin Cam Dyna at sustained highway speeds subjects your upper body to severe torso buffeting and arm strain. Full-size FXRT fairings can look disproportionately bulky on nimble Street Bobs, Low Riders, and Super Glides, adding unnecessary weight to the steering head. The Saddlemen S-RT Mini Fairing bridges this gap flawlessly—delivering the distinctive angular lines, dual side scoops, and bubble windshield aesthetics of a classic FXRT while maintaining a sleek, tight profile that enhances high-speed stability and visual aggression.
Why Choose the Saddlemen S-RT Mini Fairing for 2006–2017 Dynas?
Engineered for lane splitting, canyon carving, and cross-country highway miles, the Saddlemen S-RT Mini Fairing combines high-impact durability with functional wind management. Molded from rugged ABS plastic with an unpainted black finish prepped for custom paint, this kit comes complete with heavy-duty 49mm mounting brackets, clear optical windshields, and headlight fitment accessories designed to handle high-velocity road stress without flexing or vibrating.

1. Scaled FXRT Pursuit Aesthetics for 49mm Front Ends
The hallmark of the Saddlemen S-RT Mini is its proportional styling. By slimming down the outer dimensions of traditional FXRT molds, Saddlemen created a fairing that sits tight against the heavy 49mm fork tubes and wide triple trees of 2006–2017 Dynas. You get all the aggressive, retro-police bagger styling without swamping the muscular visual stance of late-model Dyna frames.
2. Functional Wind Management & Reduced Rider Fatigue
Despite its mini proportions, the aerodynamic profile of the S-RT Fairing provides serious upper-body wind protection. The lower side wings scoop incoming air wide of your torso, while the angled windscreen pushes turbulent airflow up and over your helmet. This smooth laminar airflow eliminates chest drag, allowing for a far more relaxed, stress-free riding posture on long road trips.
3. Dedicated 49mm Bracket & Hardware Assembly
Unlike universal aftermarket fairings that require custom bracket fabrication, the 2006–2017 Saddlemen S-RT Mini Fairing includes a dedicated bracket and clamp system engineered specifically for 49mm Dyna front ends. The powder-coated steel brackets lock securely onto the larger fork legs to eliminate fairing shake and high-speed flutter.
Saddlemen S-RT Mini Fairing vs. Traditional Quarter Fairings
Upgrading your late-model Dyna front end with the Saddlemen S-RT Mini Fairing provides distinct functional and aesthetic advantages over standard flat quarter fairings:
| Performance Attribute | Standard Quarter Fairing (Gauntlet/Ness Style) | Saddlemen S-RT Mini Fairing |
|---|---|---|
| Style Profile | Minimalist bullet cover design | Iconic multi-contour FXRT pursuit bagger styling |
| Wind Deflection Area | Directs air mainly off lower chest | Wider shoulder, chest, and helmet airflow deflection |
| Structural Rigidity | Lightweight fork clamp mounts | Heavy-duty steel subframe bracket system |
| Custom Paint Canvas | Small, basic surface area | Broad ABS outer canvas perfect for custom graphics & color matching |
