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.

bung king makes the original brackets, and also an adaptor for the 49mm front ends. brackets are only like 50 bucks.

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.

You may be onto something with incorporating the headlight mount into the fairing. I would pay good $ for a complete bolt on T Sport fairing that didnt look cobbled together. Quality costs.....

U guys are getting out of hand. Keep it simple....fairing with multiple height shields with mounting hardware. I think it should be up to the individual to decide how they want their headlight setup..

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.

Bung King does make a T sport fairing bracket but realistically I think that if you make a retro fairing, make it mount up to the HD Clamps, different heights on the windshield. You are going to do some serious business with these.
