Got the fairing mounted tonight with the help of my bros. Used the H-D front turn signal relocation kit to move the blinkers off the bars too. Couldn't be happier with the results so far. Got a few more things to clean up then I'll post more pics.

Great look for the Sportster. Given the choices, anyone have any strong opinions about which fairings are better - Ness, HD, Tracy (as mentioned earlier in the thread). I want one, but I don't want shell out more than 2 bills for one.

I like the fairing, but I'm not too sure about the tall risers/speedo setup.
