Then want us to tell you WHAT's wrong....

More info would be a great place to start..

I love the way you cap lock newby.

1st -- THIS IS NOT A PISSING OR A DICK MEASURING CONTEST!!!

Be kind. You will lose......

2nd -- Its **** waffles like you that put bad tastes in people mouths about forums and a community they would like to be part of. Being funny is one thing but being rude is another.........Where are the admins?

3rd -- I call the bike the "Johnny Cash Special" it is registered as a '51 Harley but as you can see it isn't. I think the only thing '51 on there is maybe a couple of SS nuts on the tranny. It has an aftermarket Paughco softail frame, 2005 road king rear fender and lights, an evo motor to a 4 speed kick start tranny, chain driven, aftermarket tank and seat, and what I thought was a fatboy front end.....BUT THANKS FOR CLARIFYING THAT FOR ME......

4th -- My question was real simple. If you need to know what type of wiring I have, brand of petcock, whether I use mini blade fuses or not, the color of the bike, if the underside of my Le Pera seat is polished or not, or how much "bling and leather" I have in order for you to help me then I really do not need YOUR help...... I am sure there are other people on this forum that can

5th -- if you were to meet me you would not of talked to me the way you just did. So please continue to cower and hide behind your screen and keyboard

So now that I have answered the "more information would be a great place to start"question.........

..........is there anyone else that might be able to help?

It is hard to see in your photos but it does look like your front end is a standard fatboy setup. I would question whether your "used" fairing came with the right mounting hardware. Look at the MS website and look at just the hardware and I think you will see better.
