Default Inner Fairing Replacement

During some recent work I found that my repair work has again cracked and broken so next year is going to be project time. I need to replace the inner fairing on my 08 Ultra.

I recall reading that there are better options than others out there. I remember someone said that they got one that did not have the knurled nuts in place for the screw holes. I would like to avoid that headache.
What are the good sources? Are there any other maintenance items or gotchas that I should make note of since I am going to be tearing the whole top apart?

Thanks in advance.

If this wasn't going to be part of a winter project that would be fantastic since I live in SD and will be at the rally. But I wonder if I can just buy one from them. I will have to stop by and see them.

Buddy of mine bought an inner fairing from The Fairing Exchange and he's happy as a clam with their product.

I'm sure you can, but why wait for winter? They'll knock out the install in 30 minutes for a very reasonable price.
