Only thing to do in your case i think would be to mount it and find out for sure if it hits. Never know might clear with just enough room to spare.

Did you put the washers above or below the eyebrow muont? A front pic would be helpful, too. Even a closeup of the mounting bracket could help see what is going on.

I put them below the eyebrow mount.... Figuring it would raise the headlight further into the visor.... I dont have a pic right now but could try to take some... Did you put washers above?

We are FINALLY nearing completion of our Speed Freak 1/4 fairing. I took a few shots of the finished part on our xr883. It should do the outlaw and cafe styles equally as well.

I keep saying it will be ready in a month, a month goes by and we still aren't ready. So, I will guardedly say it will be about 5 to 6 weeks for us to get production under way.

If you have any questions, let me know. I keep a list of folks that are waiting, and will get back to them as soon as it is available.
