Fairing concern

I am seriously considering putting a Hoppe batwing fairing on my Fatboy Lo. My concern is being able to see over it, as I am only 5'1. I've not ridden a bike with a fairing, so it's hard for me to gage. I've heard great things about these fairings and how much people love them. I'm hoping this wont be an issue. Comments needed please!

I'm 5'5" and using an exotic body fairing. I also have a lowered seat. I cut my shield down to about 3" so I can see over it. It works great with no buffeting.

Did you use a quick release mount?
