I just got my fairing today and started to put it on, but evidently you can't run any sort of headlight lift with it...I had a 1" lift on. Just want to make sure it's not me overlooking something obvious...

 

I'm preparing to buy one. It looks great on your bike. I imagine it's designed around the stock headlight location.

Where did you buy it and how long did it take for delivery?

 

I'm also getting one, found a website here in Canada (Heritage Cycle Works) that sells them for $267 plus tax with free shipping. Looks good on your bike.

 

Good find for us Canucks

 

I'm pretty sure I got it off ebay...I'll have to go through my trash bin and find out for sure. I like it and for the price you can't beat it...however the lack of ability to change the windscreen and stock headlight height only mounting are two things I wish were different.

 

I had the same issue with the lifted headlight when I mounted mine. I originally had about 1 1/2 to 2" lift on my headlight and had to lower it back down to the stock mounting block, but I added a few washers as shims to raise it just a bit.

After putting a few miles on it, I can tell you this thing is nice. Well made, works great at keeping the wind off my chest and the price is great.

I've done a little modding to mine since mounting it. I installed my stereo/MP3 player, blacked out the screen with black plastidip and then shot a couple layers of gun metal grey plastidip over that, and I started some panel stripes with pinstrip tape to make it match the rest of my bike a little better. Here are a couple pics:

 

That turned out very nice! Thanks for sharing...I think I might cut and TIG up the front mounts this weekend to get a 1" lift out of it...what speakers are those?

 

Thanks. I considered making my own brackets for mine too. But then I remembered how much of a pain that was to do for my previous fairing and how I was never quite satisfied with what I came up with. So I just caved and bought the OEM ones from Memphis Shades.

As for the speakers, I'm really not sure. It's some cheapo set that my dad gave me. In pretty sure he got it off eBay. It has a small amp with an FM tuner and inputs for SD cards and USB thumb drives for MP3s, I wired it into the low beam line of my headlight so I can kill the music by flashing my brights on for a second. The cheap speakers don't sound great, but it gets the job done.

 

Phat Performance Parts shipped my Gaintlet on Tuesday. Hopefully it arrives today so I can drop it at the paint shop for color matching.

My new bars and risers will be ready in two weeks.

 

I just wish the headlight wasn't so recessed into the fairing. Or maybe it's just the pics that throwing it off for me.

018245 how tall are your bars? Looks like the ends of the fairing would cover up my blinkers.
