I have some bolt on clamps that I may install. So far there has been no issue with the fairing. It does vibrate a little when I'm sitting still at idle but other than that it's rock solid. I've got about four hundred miles on the bike since I put it on. It looks like we may have the same fairing. Did you have some issue with yours or did you add the extra support thinking ahead?

 

Looks like you added a marine head unit cover, same thing I was going to do. I was going to use one that had the door that rotates back into the fairing.

 

my cover did rotate into the fairing, was super clean, i loved it... i added the support cause the weight, those are pot metal clamps, they are actually made like that to snap so they do not not damage the fork tubes, they are not intended to be load bearing. We prob have 10-20 a year from customers that snap them putting on their shiields. I was not willing to risk a ton of $$$ in stereo, fairing, and time... not to mention safety on some **** pot metal clamps that are made to break before causing damage. I myself have snapped 3. I was def thinking ahead on this one, stop the problem before it is one... cause if it does bad it is going to go WAY bad... i like to build overly safe vs good enough ya know (not bashing at all what you are doing) just explaining why i went a bit more into it... plus stereo gear weighs alot, and that will have the weight over the front and putting a weird pressure on the clamp, prob in the weakest point

 

Finally did some more work on the bags. I rode in the Dick Gelfman Ride Across MD and wanted to have the bags watertight before that ride. I used some small screws to hold the cut out pieces in the bags after trimming off the ends. I then used regular blue painters tape to form the ends of the pockets. Then it was regular old fiberglass cloth and resin. A couple layers and let it dry. The tape pulled off very easy the next day without any release agent.

 

I trimmed off the excess mat from the edges but didn't take a pic. I will eventually go back and put an additional layer of resin over the inside to smooth everything out better before putting in a liner or layer of material. For the outside I ground down the screw heads and smoothed out the surface before applying a couple layers of bondo. I was in a hurry to do the work so I left it a bit rough. I also used the angle grinder to add a filet where the air shocks were making some light contact with the edge of the bags. I then taped them off and shot some satin black to clean it up a little. Once I decide on paint options I will finish the body work and then paint them. I am happy so far with my efforts and really like having the lockable hard bags on the bike. They are much easier to put things in and I prefer being able to lock my helmet in the bag.

 

I also made a headlight mount out of aluminum box from Lowes. I simply cut it to length and used some extra wide washers to ensure the pressure went across the entire surface. I used this to extend the light out to the edge of the fairing rather than being shrouded inside the cutout of the fairing. More light on the road and light to the side for more protection from cross traffic. I also bought some connectors and wire along with some LED lights to move the turnsignals to the front of the fairing.
