There's a smaller/simpler fairing as well... I can't find the link on HD's site but it's shown in the catelog.

I really do like the looks of that HD fairing, but does it help keep some of the wind off your upper body? I have a small HD detachable windshield, and while I don't particularly like the looks, it helps to keep me from getting blown off the back of the bike at 60+ highway speeds.

The wind does not feel as strong right around my chest as it did before so I assume the visor is cutting some wind but again a minimal amount, still it is better than nothing.

Just finished some small trims in my Sportster and I thought to post some pics here, since this post in this forum was my main "inspiration"
Many thanks to bolillo57 Your pics and directions (specially these for the Dyna bolts) were very helpfull
Sportster 883 2007 model by US standards (year of manufacture) 2009 model by world standards (day of first registration). Bought in London UK July 2010, riden to Greece and re-register in Athens Greece.
Allready done: Headlamp Visor, Chin Spoiler, Black Air filter cover, K & N Air Filter, Passenger pillion, Tank Bra, Licence plate bag
Still to come: Forward controls, Lower rear suspension, Vance & Hines exchaust, Arlen Ness mirrors, maybe a better dual seat -any suggestions?-

I think many of them are Arlen Ness cafe fairings.

From what I've read, you're correct.

1. Does the metal visor/hood over the headlight stay on under the fairing or does it need to come off?
2. Where does the fairing bolt on the bike?

The speedo visor/hood stays intact under the visor.
Visor has a bracket that bolts to the handlebar clamp with 2 bolts then it uses 3 shorter bolts to attach the visor to the bracket.
Here you can see the bracket along with the stock Sportie speedo prior to me adding the XR1200 bracket with mini tach:
