Here- the center hole in the fairing is for the "L" bracket that attaches to the bottom of your headlight
(3 point set up)- here's my set up - I had to go into the spare doodad can and get more stack ups.
If you look in between the triple trees in the second pic at the bottom, you can see the "L" bracket securing the front fairing at the 6 o'clock position.



I used the 49mm turn signal relocation brackets so I didn't compromise the pinch bolts on the triple tree.

Thanks Sling-blade. Your bike is the one that sealed the deal for me on the Rifle fairing.

I really, really like the fairing- solid as hell and I haven't changed the alignment since I put it on 2 years ago.

I put the tallest windshield on it which works year around, but could still go a little shorter and get the same wind buffer effect I think.

I like what you did with it Slingblade....i've been thinking about a windshield for my WG during the winter but I might go with a FXDXT retro fairing. It looks better than a windshield. Anyone seen the retro fairing on a WG?

Now that I have mine mounted....I'm thinking it's gonna be to high. I'm comparing it to Sling Blade's and the bottom of his fairing is in line with the bottom of the tree.

Yeah just a but lower you can see sling blade is lower because he has his bottom clamp under the tree on the bottom of the headlamp bolt.

Like the fairings but not sure about the mountings. I thought there would be top and bottom mount clamps on both sides. If you have to drill holes and it splits you have had it.
I will look on there web site to get a better look.
