FLHX = SG
FLTR = RG
FLHR = RK
FLHTCU = Ultra
And so on.....
Hell, I think the Softails start out as FL's, too.

Hardware for Invisible Fairing Supports
Here's a few pics that I took of my bike with my cell phone today. They aren't the best, as it's tight between the fairing and tank to get some good pictures. I did try to get a shot of the turn signal studs to give an idea of how long they are. I used the factory acorn nuts to cover them, but there is still a gap, but looks better than the regular nylon nut that comes with the brackets.
When we began looking at this project there were a couple of differences in the OE fairing support widths. H-D uses studs mounted on the turn signals and chrome acorn caps, which because of the closed end don't tighten properly when our design is used. We designed the Invisible Support so they cover all exposed hardware from the riders view. We provide nylocs to make sure the support tightens properly.
I appreciate the feedback and thank all of you for discovering the vented fairing lower trick.

Remove the acorn nuts...use the allen wrench to remove the studs...buy some chrome buttonheads/washers that will fit into the turn signal housings.
I did this with a different brand highway bar eliminator.
I think the bolt sizes needed are 5/16 x 18...you'll need two 3/4" and two 1 1/4"
