check that out and i think i can make this work

[url=http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Fairing-for-Harley-Electra-Glide-Road-King-Street-Glide-Road-Glide-/180986592835?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a23a43e43&vxp=mtr]http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Fairing-for-Harley-Electra-Glide-Road-King-Street-Glide-Road-Glide-/180986592835?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a23a43e43&vxp=mtr[/url]

with these

and then just have to figure out the bottom mounts....

wish i could find some better handlebar windshield clamps for 1 1/4 bars though

but i should be able to make the headlight fit the hole in the fairing if i trim it, and ill have to drill 2 holes in the fairing to use the windshield kits but shouldn't be too bad

if needed maybe add another set of the windshield mounts (i have 10in tbars on my bike so one set at the bottom right at the tripple tree and one set on the top bar rail)

I think ill bite the bullet and try it out

The 1500 and 1600 Classic front ends are different. I'm not sure what mods would be necessary to make that swap.

On a slightly different take, have you been to Gadgets page? He has several mounts (none for Memphis Shades specifically) that may help. Look towards the bottom of the Paint & Body section: http://www.gadgetjq.com/gadgetsfixitpage.htm#paint

I've read several times that a classic front end is the same as the drifters. Well i also read that a classic fairing kit should fit but never see it confirmed.

Well im willing to bite the bullet and give it a shot, except i cannot find a fairing kit for a vn1500 classic with fuel injection (not sure what the difference is) But regardless i dont want to order something that
simply wont work.

So if someone can point me in the directions of a memphis shades batwing that is for the appropriate classic ill order one

or do i need to get one for a 1600 classic? http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-08-Kawasaki-VN1600A-Vulcan-Classic-Memphis-Shades-Batwing-Fairing-Kit-/370616404286?forcev4exp=true&forceRpt=true#ht_3704wt_1163
