The fairing has its own mount but it mounts just like the factory shield does. You replace the factory notched rubber washers that your factory shield clips into with the supplied plastic washers. The fairing goes on and off just as easily as the factory shield. With the fairing there are slight adjustments you can make to raise lower the height and also the angle so can be more upright or swept back.
The factory shield can be mounted in same way it always was. Takes 30 seconds to switch from either fairing, factory shield, no shield
