If the fairing had a bracket or tab on the inside for the headlight, that would solve the problem of different light brackets, just bolt the light right into the hole for the fairing itself.
I think price point will be difficult, the Ness fairing sells for under $300 with all hardware included, I think that's why it's so appealing. The new T-sport knock offs are around $500 with no hardware so you end up spending $600 on something you have to ghetto-rig anyway. If you could just somehow expand upon the Ness design with taller coverage (weather it be the fairing or windshield itself) you'd be on the nose. If the windshield is tall enough you don't have to play with the up and down adjustment anyway.

I always thought if I could just get a taller screen for the Ness it'd be great... Lately I been thinkin about lifting it, if I could have the light mounted to the fairing it'd sure make it easier! (lost mine in an accident so it, along with the bags, are on my list of eventual mods / purchases)
As for the T-Sport re-pop, I think there's a market for it. Just like for the bags.... We're only scratching the surface of the potential market on this forum.

Its all part of developing a product.....To me simple is buy one kit, and bolt on. Not spend a bunch of cash and end up with a bunch of cobbled together parts. If they are designed to work together than they work every time.
