I have one. It kinda works. Stations I could get before I don't now and others are not as strong. As soon as I can get some cnc time to make a bracket for where I want it, I am going back to whip. As long as the fairing cap is off it works great. Put the fairing cap on and reception is cut in half.

this is the issue with these in-fairing and also in-windshield antennas. No matter what you do with them they are NOT going to be as strong or have as good a reception as a whip antenna, period.
If you'll notice (and if you're old enough) a lot of car manufacturers went to in-windshield and in-rear window antennas many years ago. They are all putting whip antennas on cars again. It's a great idea but the only thing proven about this technology is it simply is not as good as a whip.

I put the HD relocation kit on my Glide- that, and the shorty antenna seem to work okay for the few times I bother trying to listen to FM (mainly for Yankees broadcasts). The relocation kit moves the antenna mount point out under the fender filler panel, and it's lower now- so my Tour Pak fits without interference. That's all I cared about- I don't listen to terrestrial radio often, but when I do, the Yankees games aren't on a station strong enough (even though it's FM) to pick up well with an in-fairing antenna.
