I know this post is about a bullet faring but there are some low profile but effective windshield fairings out there.

Here is a handle mounted I call ghost windshield...mounts on pretty much any handle bar.

I also keep mine on all the time after it was painted to match my bike.

You're the only other bullet on a Lo I've seen thus far.

What do you think of this one? You can adjust it while riding to get the best airflow. They look like air can get underneath easily which could reduce buffeting like a modern windshield.

Best of all, no extra mounting hardware, bolts on the handlebar riser pinch bolts.

I think I saw a choice for black or chrome hardware.

I had mine custom made. Don't like a big windshield, so I used National Cycle Fly Screen Hardware and had Gustafsson Plastics Inc. make one I liked and worked better than National Cycles.

Danny Gray buttcrack solo. Looks like he got the airhawk addon too. You can tell by the slightly loose fit where the design stitching is.

I really like the way the fairing looks. Do you think 1-1/2" riser spacers will make the bars hit the fairing?

That is with 1.5" riser spacers in the 2nd pic.
