If you do get buffeting, try this. Its for touring models. I just had to bend the mounting tab to get mine to fit. By the way the paint came out great. I've got to repaint my JDs. Any tips on taping around the headlight bezel? https://www.denniskirk.com/H50037.sku?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cse&gclid= CLG4_JKIr9ICFQa4wAodZT4Jvw&ad=45713335117

Just got my fairing today!
Made in China, packaging adequate, no instructions.
Fairing - Stout! 3/8", almost 1/2" thick in spots. Decent primed finish.
Windshield - Also stout - almost 1/4" thick. Shorter than stock.
Fork tube clamps - A bit on the light side. Feels like die cast zinc. I was expecting billet aluminum (and might go that route).
Mounting plates - Decent quality and weight.
Hardware - typical metric hardware, windshield bolts might be stainless.
Headlight block - as-machined block of aluminum.
Comparison to T-Sport size and shape - pretty darn close.
All in all, not bad for the money. I might upgrade the tube clamps and some of the hardware, but this looks like an easy weekend (or evening) project to mount to the bike.

After riding for a couple days, I can say that the 12" shield is too short for me. there is some buffeting, but its not too bad. I am 6'3 when I sit on the bike in normal riding position you can feel the wind bounce off your helmet, however, If I tilt my head about 1/2 and inch down, the wind stops. Not a big deal for me. Hopefully I can find a 14" or 16" shield but for now the 12" is fine.

Found them - but might have missed them without your tip. Not too critical, really. There's only so much hardware, so you kinda figure it out. Besides, this is going on a Wide Glide, so I'm going to have to improvise.
