Cap PN is 63136-10A and the trim ring is 75022-08 - for my Fat Boy and most big tank Softails. I got the PN's from the install instructions for the gas gauge/cap on the HD parts site.
Definitely cheaper and working ok so far. Took some time though. Yes, It's the 19" shield. With my old helmet it is great - with new one it is not so great-some buffeting. Not totally settled on seat yet - want something lower which will change windshield needs so holding off windshield change until seat is figured out. Btw, Memphis Shades has various heights for 18 Fatty now - rather wider too whether that is desired or not. They make replacement plastics for older models - hoping by the time I'm ready they'll be available for us.

By the way, how do you like that windshield? I want something, I really prefer cafe fairings, but one for this bike will require a lot of modification to the headlight, which I'm not sure I want to do. What is that, the 19" one?
Im a heartbeat away from ordering a cafe fairing from glide pro. Its for the old style nacell on the FB but I think I can make it work. I love the cafe faring.... Takes enough wind off the torso yet leaves the face and head in clear wind. For my 63 face I guess...
Did you get the dummy cap to sit straight easily. A few people who have bought these, said the left hand cap won't sit straight. That put me off buying them.
Not sure what you mean by sit straight. Mine is not perfect but ok. I would describe it as the cap part is a little taller than it should be - have to look for it to notice though.
