Street glide fairing on a sporty?

Street glide fairing on a sporty?
As the title says, I was looking at street glide batwing fairings, for the 15-18 models, with the vent opening. I see they come in inside and outside shell, plus other parts for mirrors etc, but am only interested in the outer shell.
Wondering how difficult this might be to adapt to my quick disconnect brackets that currently hold the windshield. I REALLY like the look of those and the functional vent seems like a plus. Cost (on ebay) is very similar to others that are claiming to be for the sporty (and several other models). All would have to be adapted in one way or another.
Anyone tried anything like this?

I think it might be easier to fabricate a mount. Am not sure I want the big wide glide look on my sporty, although I am talking about a full fairing on it, LOL.
Not out of my level of experience. I am not a pro level fabricator but once I see what I need, there is a shop that could possibly copy it and cut it more smoothly than I could.

Top one is a HD QR windshield mount, middle is the SS fabricated mount, and the bottom one is the mounts that came with the fairing. Had to modify the bracket to accept the HD QR windshield clamps while retaining the mounting position of the fairing.

I agree it would be huge on a narrow glide...may be better with a mid glide however that is not what the OP wants to do....part of making the bike his own.

Tried to post and got locked in a loop. I looked online and the sport glide fairing is smaller than I want. My windshield is already larger than that. Not really a "wind in my face guy" not since having a windshield. I rode that way for decades, but like this better. Let the bugs and rain hit something else.
