Paul Yaffe Bagger Nation Sharknado Fairing Kit for Harley-Davidson Softail, Dyna & Sportster Models (1984–2022)
Bring high-octane performance bagger attitude to your Harley-Davidson with the legendary Paul Yaffe Bagger Nation Sharknado Fairing, custom-engineered for Harley Softail, Dyna, and Sportster chassis platforms spanning model years 1984 through 2022. Designed by master builder Paul Yaffe, the Sharknado fuses the iconic twin-headlight, aggressive shark-nose aesthetic of the Road Glide with a streamlined, proportioned mid-fairing shell optimized specifically for lighter V-Twin frames.
Riding a cruiser or performance V-Twin at sustained highway speeds subjects your head, neck, and shoulders to relentless wind buffeting and fatigue. Universal quarter fairings often lack adequate width for proper chest deflection, while full-size touring fairings can overwhelm the nimble handling of a Sportster, Dyna, or Softail. The Paul Yaffe Sharknado Fairing bridges this gap perfectly—delivering maximum high-speed wind management, modern LED lighting integration, and unmatched visual aggression without compromising front-end agility.
Why Choose the Paul Yaffe Sharknado Fairing?
Engineered for high-speed stability, lane splitting, and long-distance touring, the Paul Yaffe Sharknado Fairing is built from premium hand-laid composite materials with a smooth gelcoat finish prepped for custom paint. Each kit includes a custom-designed Klock Werks Flare windshield to active-manage boundary layer airflow, eliminating turbulent buffeting and keeping your ride smooth and planted.

1. Iconic Shark-Nose Pursuit Styling
The hallmark of the Sharknado Fairing is its distinctive dual-headlight brow and angular nose contour. Paul Yaffe re-imagined the modern Road Glide front end into a sleek, aggressive profile that sits low and tight against your fork legs, giving your FX, Softail, or Sportster an unmistakable performance bagger silhouette.
2. Integrated Klock Werks Flare Windshield Technology
Every Sharknado kit comes standard with a genuine Klock Werks Flare windshield. Featuring patented side hips and a re-curved top flip, this windscreen creates downforce on the front wheel for enhanced high-speed tracking while pushing clean, non-turbulent air completely over the rider’s helmet.
3. Rugged Composite Canvas & Rigid Subframe
Built using hand-laid high-density composite fiberglass rather than flimsy injection plastic, the Sharknado shell delivers incredible structural integrity. Combined with heavy-duty model-specific mounting subframes, this fairing eliminates vibration and high-speed flutter even at triple-digit speeds.
