It was bright and sunny today with temperature reaching in 70s, I was sitting in the garage and doing this ...
Well I ride everyday to work so I will make up for missed ride tomorrow and will take the longer back road home. Your inputs are appreciated.
Changes in a nut-shell:
Batwing fairing mounted on home-made brackets
Flame mirrors
front turn signal relocated to lower forks
re-wired the aux lamps and cleaned-up the wires a little bit
installed quick-detach hardware for sissy bar (waiting on it in the mail). Once it gets here, sissy bar with tour-pak will go up.

Nice ride! I would have to agree with the others. Get the dremel out and do some cutting so you can snug that puppy down on the headlight. I had to take the dremel to my quick detach windshield when I changed headlights from stock to fit a 7" headlamp. Make your marks with a pencil and take your time. Anytime spent on or around your ride is always time well spent in my book.
Thanks for the feedback guys! Adjusted the height of the fairing and didn't have to use dremel luckily. Just a little tugging and squeezing did the trick. It looks better now
OH Man, I just noticed something. Those turn signal brackets shouldn't be mounted on that part of your fork. What if you hit a bump that bottoms out your fork. Shouldn't those be mounted above that brace.

I think you're right Curt! I never thought about it when mounting the turn signals. Guess that's what happens when you try to do things too quickly. However I did a 60 miles test ride (mostly on back roads) and nothing happened to the turn signals even after hitting some pot holes pretty hard. But I hear ya .... ordering the different relocation kit that moves the turns signals to fork brace bolts.
