Lookin sharp buddy, sorry to hear about the pet...
I'd hang on to the sigs if I were you. You never know when you're gonna want or need em again and the front tubes are a good place for em.
Hope the new map helps out as well!

 

Oops......

 

Sorry about your cat, man. Losing a good pet sucks. The fairing looks killer though.

These Ness brackets are super easy to relo your sigs with, and they're clean looking (no clamps on your tubes). They're pretty cheap too.

 

Thanks guys, I appreciate it, both on the bike and the cat. I can't express how much happier I am with this fairing compared to the Ness. The quality is way better, the mount is more solid, blocks wind a bit better due to its shape, and just looks better.

All of the above is, of course, my opinion; but it's my bike so that's what matters.

Thanks for the link Squid, I'm going to check them out. I've torn the front signals off of almost every bike I've ever owned, but as I get older I'm a little more cautious about it. I really don't use them much and hand signal most of the time out of habit (used to run no backs, either...), but I do like that they act as a running light of sorts and that is my only real hesitation.

 

Sorry about your Loss, Irish .
I keep watchin this Thread cus I'm thinkin about a fairing to block some of the wind , had 2 small windshields hated-um.

 

Sorry about your loss, but the bike looks awesome! I removed all 4 turn signals and love it every time I look at it! Lol

 

If you are even a little mechanically inclined it wont be a issue
However if the idea of having to cut a wire scares you
Take it back to the dealer

 

I like your set-up Irish883. The Gauntlet looks awesome!

I think I remember you talking in an earlier post about using the headlamp relocation bracket from Ness with the Gauntlet, but, from your pics it looks like it probably didn't work...?

 

Irish883, that fairing looks great! Good to see it matches up perfect with the Vivid black bike. Just ordered mine last Friday for the bike that I dont have yet haha. SOMEONE BUY MY WIDE GLIDE!!!!! #StreetBobEnvy

 

Thanks man. It did not work with the way the bracket is constructed. There is a lip on the bottom where the Ness physically mounts and that lip prevents the fairing from going far enough back to actually mount to the brackets on the forks.

There are two potential work arounds for this... The first would be to cut the headlight trim in the fairing itself to make room for the bracket, which I considered but decided against. The second would be to get out a sawzall, or some other strong cutting tool since it is solid metal, and cut the lower part of the Ness bracket off completely and it should work in that case.

I'm at work right now so I can't do it at the moment, but I will try to grab some pictures of the bracket for you when I get home so this makes more sense.

Thanks, I'm happy with it. The black does match the vivid black of the bike pretty much exactly. Like SLV described in an earlier post, the fairing itself is a sort of clear acrylic like material and the paint is actually under that, but it is definitely gloss black and the way it is constructed should help ensure it matches for a long time coming.

Good luck selling your WG.
