This is the fairing that I am looking for. It does not look like any of the models offered by "Invicta" - it has the rear mounted speakers which I think gives it a much cleaner look.
I am going to email the ebay seller to see if he has any information, but does anyone here have a source for this Fairing?

I do have a question that you, with you expertise can probably enlighten me on.
I picked up a 7' Memphis Shade windshield of E-bay for $20.00. I got this on to really determine what size windshield I really need.
The fairing has three attachment bolts for the windshield. The wind shield I picked up had three holes but it did not line up on the outer holes, so I drilled the windshield to fit.
The measurement from the center bolt to the outer bolts is 10 1/4 inches both ways.
So, What year windshields do I need to buy to fit this fairing.
Thanks For the help.

I went the more expensive route and bought a Deadcenter fairing painted. Some don't like the extra space above the radio but I was planning to fill it with some gauges or widescreen GPS. I also plan to add a tour pak but because my bike is a RKC I will get the leather ones to match my bags.

First Off, I figured out my windshield issue. The windshield I purchased off E-bay was a pre 1997. That's the reason the holes didn't line up.
I purchased a Long Ride 1997 & later windshield and it fit perfectly.
I finished the last few items on my fairing tonight. First, I found a bracket at work that is designed for bimini tops on boats. It is made out of stainless steel and is a claim shell design. The unique thing is it fits the Harley Davidson handle bars perfectly. Fabricated an aluminum plate and a little Velcro and I have all the tunes I need.
In the picture below it is the bracket that is attaching the MP3 player to the handle bars.
Second, I installed the Harley Davidson 2" tachometer in it's home in the fairing. It worked perfectly. Glad I planned out all the wiring before I ever started this project.
Third, installed the 9" Long Ride Windshield (With Flames)
Couldn't pass it up. Deal with Long Ride was a pleasure.

R U Sure?
the fairing he went with has three screw holes for the windshield and the Chinese version has 5. Also, I didn't notice the area above the radio on Chinese ones for where he wants to put is tach. It looks like a different fairing, maybe I'm missing something though.

no worries, seems like there are a lot of options. I have to say, I that I am impressed with your work Glenn. Not to completely steal this thread, but I noted that in another thread a customer of yours commented on 6 speakers, in looking at your website, I only saw a version for 4 speakers... are you adding a couple small tweeters to your fairings now as well?
I might be in the market first of the year, or more likely after tax season.....
