Josh,
This was just a cheap set off of ebay.
I don't have an upper fairing bracket fabbed up yet, but I will be making an aluminum one to hold the upper in place. I think even though it's pretty solid as it is, once you get up to speed it will need support.
The tail is a bit of a PITA to get on, but it will go. Just had to figure out the way to make it fit. Patience.

thanks man.
