Good to hear. Well, the lacking CS isn't, but I rarely call CS for anything so I'm not too worried about that if the pipes are quality.

The Ness fairing kit I got had that, so my headlight is pushed forward. If I were to get the MS kit I could probably keep my headlight where it is and fill the gap with minor fabbing, if any. That is my situation, though, and I agree with you that something should be available for those that aren't coming from a Ness direct bolt on kit.
On another subject... I am shopping exhaust and I am so torn. I was originally dead set on Thunderheaders in black, but now I'm second guessing it and thinking about Bassani Road Rage 2-1. Anyone have opinions on this? Cost is a big factor since the Bassani's come with heat shields and are pretty much the same price as the Thunderheaders for just the pipes (TH shields are like an extra $200).
If I got the THs I could always wrap them and not worry about the shields, but I've been reading a lot about poor finish on them and my bike is a year round, all weather bike so that concerns me. Chrome is not an option.
Anyone have input on this before I make a new thread on it? I would also like to add that I am not shopping on looks alone, performance is very important and on that side of things I have heard nothing but good about TH.

theaders one of a kind sound, good power, the black fades and all scratches show up within a few weeks, mounts crack (not always but does happen)
bassani road rage sounds great, good power, way better finish than a thunder header, stepped headers(not sure if your motor is big enough for that to make a difference).
i have had both and will be selling my theader to get a road rage or possibly fatcat in the near future. get the pipe you think looks the best and sounds the best to you
performance wise i dont think you could tell a difference on a stock motor, both will be much better than stock

Quick question for you guys with the HD/Conley's 1/4 fairing. I got my Conley quarter fairing mounted today, but didn't spring for the Billet Clamps, just got the stainless clamps. with these clamps I can't get the fairing very close to the headlight at all, I mounted them with the bolts of the clamps on the fronside of the forks as they didn't seem like they would work on the back. I have like a 2" gap right now between the fairing and my headlight trim ring. I ran outta time to try much adjusting.
So do the billet clamps draw it in closer? Do I need to redo my clamps and try and get them behind the forks. Or should I save up for the billet ones?
Thanks

I'm talking from the back lip, judging from the picture you posted I have at least twice that gap, and I have it back as far as it can go in the adjustment slots

Ah, gotcha. Not sure since I personally have an Arlen Ness and just found that picture on the Conely site. Hopefully someone else can chime in with info for you.

I don't know how the Conley mounts, but my HD is mounted with Bung King brackets that allow you to adjust how close the fairing tucks up against the head light. That and the headlight bracket gets flipped 180 which puts the light about a 1/2" further out from its stock position.

The brackets on the conley are the same as the bung king, adjustable. my issue is that instead of the expensive billet clamps I opted to use the stainless exhaust style clamps offered on their website.
The studs on the exhaust style clamp can only come out either all the way behind the fork tube, and then the brackets hit the tube before I could get them on the studs, or flip the clamp and they are on the front side. which leaves the fairing out quite a ways, even adjusted all the way back. The instructions didn't mention anything about flipping the headlight block around. I will get some pics later to try and show it.
Thanks all, not trying to hijack this thread, but there are more owners of 1/4 fairings in this thread than anywhere else

Yeah, if you flip the headlight block 180, the light will move further out by like 1/2" or so. I'm using the HD quick detach clamps on mine which I think put my fairing even further out than the hose clamps, but I'm able to get my light flush up against the rubber ring. The Bung King bracket came with a spacer that also raises the headlight block up a little which helps with mating. I added additional spacers to get mine a little higher. If your kit didn't come with a spacer, you can use a stack of washers, or just pick something up in the fastener section of Ace Hardware.
