I was looking (and still am) at a painted fairing from Glide Pro, though much more expensive ($650) https://glide-pro.com/shop/cafe-fair...iring-painted/ they look really great.
They are a factory harley aux/passing light kit. Yes. I have also looked at the glide pro but I think the black on the Memphis shade fairing is vivid black so I wont need to paint. It looks like It would fit to me also. I am just trying to see if anyone has seen it done or not. The bracket it the same one anyone would use to put the aux/passing lights on the RKS. There are other members on here who have the same thing.

Also MS sells a special socket to adjust the aux lights on the regular road king so I thought maybe they had tried it with the harley aux light mount for the RKS. I was not being hard on them I was just saying they were not any help.

I also have a factory aux/turn bracket. Your Aux lights are much further forward then mine, was the reason for my question, Mine are basically flush with my headlight, yours look about 2-4" forward and much further outboard.

I've been wanting to do the same thing you're currently doing, using the Windsplitter with Aux lights. But I'm wanting to keep the windshield removable.

Yeah they look much more forward then mine. Well, this thread got me going and I just dropped the $650 on the Glide Pro fairing with tall windshield.4 weeks out...! Since I'm moving the the land of eternal summer in a couple months, this will be helpful vs. the full shield I'm running!

Finally took her out for about a 60 mile ride. Rode up to the state park in NY, but all of the roads in the park were closed off for the season. During open season there is at least 1 accident each weekend, and it's usually a rice rocket going around the twisties too fast and losing control. I guess they don't want to allocate resources during the winter, so they just block off the roads. I found a couple of open ones, then headed back home.

Had KST Kustoms 10" Pathfinders (adjustable) handlebars installed. I was ok with the stockers (height wise), just hated the wrist angle. These fixed that.

Me too. Don't think they'll work tho sadly. I was thinking of removing the aux lights, but that would be a pain in the ***. Plus, then I would have to move the directionals as well. More trouble than its worth I think.
