Default Lower Fairing Support Bar for 2010 FLTRX?

Has anyone installed the Hotop Fairing Support Bar on a 2010 FLTRX to get rid of the highway bars?

I purchased one (DS-2330-0030)and there is no way in heck it will line up to work without seriously deforming my fairing. It says its for 2009 and newer.

Was the fairing changed from 09 to 10?

I've already sent it back, because it looked very similiar to the bar on my 2000. I know the fairing angle on that bike was very different. Also lining up that one wasn't that big of a deal.

I was just wondering if anybody has one on a 2010, and if so where was it purchased. I know FBI sells their version but they want almost twice the price of the Hotop piece from Drag. Thanks.

the only thing changed from '09 to '10 was the fairing brackets, they were only changed to raise the fairing up about 1", the highway bar was not changed at all.
no reason why it did't fit well, unless it was the wrong part?

The application in the drag catalog is wrong .I went thru this about two months ago. they do now have in stock a part# that fits the 2010. It is indeed different from the 09, which is different from the 08.......
It is also the same price as the one you had $89.00. I would give you the part#, but I'm at home right now. It's in the April update flyer from Drag.
