Okay, I finished up the install yesterday. I'm happy with the results, but there's a couple of things I'd like to point out for anyone else that may be considering this fairing.
1. This is a $270 shipped fairing. Don't forget that. If you're expecting it to be on the same playing field of a Woody's, Dragonfly, etc, you'll likely be disappointed. If you're the type of person that thinks since you paid a butt load of money for your bike that you have to buy the most expensive parts for it, you'll likely be disappointed.
2. With mine, the 2 fairing halves don't easily fit together like my Woody's, or a factory fairing does. It takes a bit of effort to "squeeze" em together.
3. With mine, the fit of the 2 upper halves where the windshield slides in isn't perfect. There's a slight gap between the center windshield screw and the outer screws. There's a piece of foam that runs all the way across so it's sealed up, but it is visually noticeable up close if you're looking closely. Here's where you need to remember that it's a $270 shipped fairing.
4. The supplied brackets worked fine for me. I used metal spacers that I had to mount mine solid, not with rubber bushings.
5. The dark tinted windshield it comes with has a yellowish tint to it. You can't tell it on mine because my windshield bags hide it.
6. If you're looking for a cheap fairing, this one will likely fit the bill. Especially if you have a black bike. If you're a perfectionist, don't bother. Spend 3 times as much and buy a different one.

I thought you'd like it. Perfect, no, but for the money mine looks damn good. A little extra weatherstripping and edge touchup and I am very happy with the results, can't go wrong if you have a black bike!
