They're starting to get repetetive...
Nice job though, and good position for maximum protection.

I attached mine to the frame with electrical ties where it stays completely dry even when riding in torrential rain. See pics:

Looks good guys, one note I'd like to throw in here though. The previous owner of my bike installed an accessory outlet (pics are probably here on the site) but when you install it very far forward on the fairings it will not work very well if you want to leave the item in your pocket. For instance, I cannot really charge my cell phone because I have to stretch the power cord too far. I could put it in a handlebar mount but that's really a pain in the ass when I just need to charge the battery. I can manage to stretch the cord out but it'll rub on the gas tank and it pulls on the power port of the phone very badly. If the damn thing was another 6 inches back I would have no trouble at all.

If you have any plans of charging your phone or something while it's in your pocket I'd highly recommend moving the plug as far back on the fairing as you can. It'll still reach any handlebar mounted electronic without any problems and it makes the option of charging something in your pocket much easier!
