It rides very nice, actually puts the wind at or about my helmet face shield. The lower parts of the fairing directs some wind off the legs a bit. It is stable and solid as can be. It should, I worked a long time on fitting it just right.
Here's some updated pics with all the trim pieces around the headlight (used rubber u-channel, the trim lock on the windcreen and the wellnuts securing it. I also painted the inside with SEM brand flat trim paint. I had buffed through the paint in one area and fixed it. Ouch!

Just came across this thread and really REALLY nice work. Congrats!!!
Love following builds we get great ideas and learn a bit. On the gauge faces are you willing to do some more to sell?
I chose to paint the gas gauge due to the contours of the metal face. I think a vinyl face would have bubbles in it. I can have a set of faces made in just about any color.
