Where are the clamps that came with the kit? Why are you using those clamp

edit-

nevermind, you are installing on a wide glide....you may need to make some brackets to make it fit the wider forks.

 

Yeah I want to know if anyone can measure there conely brackets cause I might have to return and buy that one depending if it will fit

 

My shop isn't heated and it's snowing here, so no work on the bike. But here's the plan: swap the two "bent" brackets so they dog-leg inboard instead of outboard. May need to add washers between the bent brackets and the other brackets to get the spacing you want.

The fork tube clamps will face inboard and connect to the bent brackets. Not sure how that will work with the clamps you are using, but at least it clears the forks.

 

Thanks for the advice
My buddy at work who is good at this kind of stuff is on vacation for 2 weeks
So it will have to wait
I will keep anyone who wants to know updated
I'm also going to have to buy the headlight housing too
Found it on eBay for pretty cheap $23 shipped

Okay for anyone who has a wide glide this is for you
I have an 06 and wanted this fairing but wasn't sure if it would fit, but with the help of this forum and some friends I believe I made it work
I go mine from villain2hero
His fairing is pretty thick
Down part is you have to drill out the fairing, but I understand why

So this is how I got it



Because I have a WG I have a bit more rake and I needed the fairing to match up with the bike so I had to mess with the brackets

So what I did was flip the brackets that are attached to the fairing upside down
Then I Switch them from one side to the other like this



Next I switched the brackets that attach to the forks from one side to the other like this






When I bolt them to each other I did not need any spacers what so ever. It was a little off but as you tighten the bolts then line right up



I'm waiting on my headlight bucket so that will have to wait to line up with the fairing.
This is what I looks like on the bike



I'll post up when I finish the headlight and paint

 

Update on headlight
Needed to make a spacer so that I could mount the headlight a bit higher
I used a piece of all thread and a piece of conduit.

I Attached the all thread to the triple tree



Next I put a washer then the spacer I made followed by anther washer
The bracket the faring comes with and then a nut to tighten it all down

Here is a picture of the bike with everything mounted and a few coats of platidip

 

How much work was it to get these fairing ready for paint? I hear some bad things about some of the fiberglass on some of these cheap fairings.

 

A guy I met just got the V2H fairing, said it compared to his old connely. Took it to one moto painter and the guy criticized it pretty heavily, normal fiber glass stuff, pinholes, needed sanding to smooth it out. But this guy also said he'd never heard of JDs either so I'm guessing he's a purist. He took it to a normal paint shop they quoted him 200 with sanding and all.

I just ordered the V2H one. At half the price of the connellys and the fact that it seems like the dude is super chill

 

Emperor, how tall are your bars? I'm really thinking about getting this fairing and I'm curious to see where this 12inch windshield will fall on my bars.

 

I just bought the villian 2 hero Tsport repop and for the $300+ they charge, its an awesome deal. the quality is great and requires minimal paint prep. It is comparable to some of the higher grade/more expensive fairings. I would recommend maybe getting better/ attractive mounts. I bought some inexpnsive black 49mm mounts from amazon to use withthe mounting brackets. I used a rubber spacer and extended bolts with a 16" windscreen to create a DYI anti buffeting kit like JDFabs sells. i also used some bolt head caps to keep it clean and hide the windscreen bolts.
