Yes it is, we just got a little side tracked by making the Retro T-Sport bags in leather. I have started working on the molds, but it's probably going to take a few months to get everything hammered out. The windshield will be adjustable like the original but with a slightly different mechanism. Lots of parts that I have to draw up in CAD.

I am still subscribed to see how this turns out. Having the adjustable windscreen will be extremely nice....

I'm counting on you Gary. Are you also planning in making the front bezel removable? Maybe a chrome and a primed option??!!

As Clint Eastwood (Dirty Harry) once said "A mans gotta know his own limitations". Making the bezel removable would mean it would have to be injection molded (something I have zero experience in) instead of vacuum molded and the molds would be too expensive to justify.

Rode the bike to work in the rain today (I haven't ridden it in over a month due to a bald rear tire that I haven't had time to fix). Now that I have all the stock parts for the fairing, I can start the mock up.

I will keep you guys updated.

Kind of off topic, but while you're at it, somebody needs to make a nice chin spoiler, too. Mine is getting old, and nobody seems to make them anymore. (not a fan of the H-D one)

Trying to figure out if and how these Repo fairings will bolt up to a stock FXDX front end with the top mount headlight setup

What do you mean by "top mount headlight setup"? Are you referring to the stock FXDXT mount? That is what we are shooting for, and then offering a headlight relo bracket for the non FXDXT bikes when needed.

The FXDX lights are mounted on the top tree with a different bracket I believe, instead of the bottom tree, like the t-sport.
