Not sure about others, but our fairing will allow for fitment of the Harley Bra. The only issue (I'm sure you will probably run into this with any bra) is that the bra comes with an elastic strap that stretches down and around the headlight on an Electraglide. Because the fairing is part of the nacelle on an Electraglide, it hugs the headlight well. With your bike though, the elastic will want to run up under your light. And, you will see it bridge the gap between the edge of your fairing and your light.

We recommend, simply, cutting that elastic off. We have run the fairing this way, and found the other mounting locations to be sufficient in holding the bra in place.

Been doing some research and I'm real confused over this,
To send a Batwing to the UK is understandably expensive, but one of the ones I'm after the vendor says its too big to send USPS, which is what it has to be to make it affordable, sure enough when I go the USPS site thats what it says, but some of the other vendors can send me their offering USPS priority mail for $150, am I missing something here?, the vendor who cant send it is probably the best value so, can anyone explain how the others can send me one but he cant, I dont know how your postal system works. the parcel is 43'' x 19'' x 21''

Most likely this vendor only ships UPS, and does not want to be taken out of his comfort zone. If you are sure you want that particular product, try offering a little extra for the handling.
