Okay this goes back to the installation process of the fairing. I cant for the life of me get the damn fairing to meet with my headlight. Have about a 1 inch gap all the way around. Spacer was placed and stock spacer was turned 180. I've adjusted the brackets in many ways and can not get this to work. Am I missing something?

Post some pics so I can see what's going on.

That is one sick setup! I just picked up a 2015 SB with that same 1/4 fairing and the mounts on it now look so stupid, but yours looks very clean I think I will have to set it up exactly like yours. Thanks for sharing this info.
Also, if you don't mind me asking are you from SD? That looks like a beach I would pass all the time when I was stationed there.

[QUOTE=SquidHead;11332099]When I got home from work today my box from LSHD1 was on the step...woohoo!
I thought I'd start a thread and update it as I go along for the other 49mm Dyna guys who want to do this. I had to figure out what parts I needed to do it by picking through various other posts, and still had to make an extra run to the parts counter for the locking clamp.
Here's my completed list:
(1) HD Detachable Quarter Fairing Kit - 57070-98 (primed), or 57070-97DH (Black)
(3) HD 49mm Quick Release Windshield Clamps - 57192-05A
(1) HD 49mm Locking QR Windshield Clamp - 57400008
(1) Bung King 49mm Bracket Kit
Simplified steps:
-Mount the two inner brackets from the HD kit to the fairing.
-Bolt on the HD QR clamps to the Bung King brackets (put the locking clamp on the bottom so you can get the key in it on the bike)
-Loosely mount the Bung King brackets to the inner clamps.
-Install the headlight spacer and flip the headlight mount 180 degrees.
-Adjust headlight beam to new position .
-Install the headlight rubber gasket and plastic windshields on fairing.
-Clamp fairing to the forks.
-Adjust and tighten the brackets so the headlight is flush.
-Go ride!
Squid...you mention putting the locking clamp on the bottom, but your picture shows it on the upper left. I'm also wondering which side on the bottom works best to reach it, with the key facing up or down? Also, did you use loctite on any bolts? Thanks
