Default 1/4 Fairing Upgrade (w/pics)

Thanks to Icecaps and others for information on how to complete this upgrade. I was able to make this a truly quick release upgrade due to repurposing my quick release connectors from my harley sport windshield. Gives good wind protection at speeds up to 90mph. I commute 100 miles/day and have had improved ride with this upgrade.

the fairing is HD color matched with a laminar lip. www.laminarlip.com/
the seat is a lepara daytona sport smooth. sits you back and down about an inch each. I have read others make the statement about riding in the bike. put this on today and now i understand. i swear i have better control with this new seat. used to ride a sundowner.
thanks for the comments. all of you guys have great bikes.

How much modification was needed on the stock bracketry to get the Quick Release clamps to work?
