Here is what i have so far. 8" shield 2010 headlights so i cun run a custom bezzle

I got some aftermarket rubber trim, but i can only get it to work with the windscreen. When i put it on the sides of the fairing i cant screw the fairing closed.

Can someone post a pic of there trim so i can see what it installed looks like

Yes it is. So it goes on the inside fairing... i did that and when trying to screw the fairing together it would not work. Vwhen i have no rubber trim everything screws together perfect.

Maybe the upgraded trim is to thick for this fairing and i should use the thinner one supplied.

Don't worry too much about how tight the fairing screws together, as long as it's not a huge gap. I monkeyed with mine for a while, and thought about buying the thicker upgraded gasket because there is one area I feel that isn't quite sealed. I happened to be a a dealer and looked at a couple of used road glides they had on the floor, and both were exactly the same as mine, same spot and everything.

I bought black Philips head ones at lowes. I didn't like the looks of the ones that came with the fairing.

no guages in fairing, all speakers and tweets
figure out what to do with the nacelle to accept speakers or cap the nacelle

there is a small chance i might run tbars, 14" slingshots
Those apes kick ***. What are they 20 inch?
