OPR's Memphis shades fairing fix
I bought the Memphis shades fairing only to be dissapointed as of how steep the angle of the windshield is.
I fixed this in 2 ways, by making the fairing itself more straight and by moving also the angle of the windshield.
1) I went to my local ACO hardware store and bought a 1" coupling nut. I used it in the upper brackets to push forward the fairing thus fixing the angle.
See picture:

So the order would be:
Fairing stud
Washer
Coupling nut
washer
bracket
washer
hex head bolt
2) I used plastic separators (see picture), a total of 3 which make an angle to push forward the shield itself.
Had to replace the regular bolt/ plastic nut for regular bolt/ nut.

With this, the angle moved quite a lot to my liking and it costed me only $10 to fix.
What do you think ? This shows the new angle:
