Default OEM Headlight Mounting Block?

Fellas -
Getting ready to install the HD Fairing on my 11 FXDF using the Bung King 49mm adapter kit. I have the kit, a super glide headlight, and a bottom mount mounting block I picked up aftermarket but I'm wondering if it's the right one. The new models have a much longer mounting block so before the fairing arrives I want to get the right one if I don't have it already. I attached a couple pics so could someone who has done the mod using the Bung King brackets and spacer please let me know if I have the right one, and if not, what I'll need? Thanks!!

I've got a stock one from a 15 street Bob lying around somewhere. I'll see if I can't dig it up

If your headlamp isn't lining up right in the fairing, see if Headwinds has one that will help you out. They are the only place I have been able to find that has such a diverse amount of offsets to play with.

I'm running the HD 1/4 fairing w/ the Bing King 49mm adapter on my Street Bob. I just measured the stock mounting block on mine and it is 1 7/8 inches tall. Yours looks a little shorter than that. You have two options: buy the mounting block from your dealer (part number 67741-06, $36.49), or buy washers from your local hardware store to get the headlight at the right height. Personally, I would go the washer route. It is cheaper and since it is hidden behind the fairing, it won't be noticeable.

If I recall correctly, my Bung King 49mm kit came with a 1" tall headlight spacer. My original mount is about 1 5/8" from bottom to center of the headlight bolt and the headlight bolt is about 3/8" offset from the bolt that goes thru the triple tree.

Yours looks to be a bit short and have no offset, so that may make it harder.
