Rebel 300/500 eBay fairing – NOT plug & play – medium difficulty to install. For $78 USD shipped, it’s a great fairing. It looks great, looks nicer than my higher priced Rifle fairing. The windshield has optical distortion. The fairing amplifies the 4,000 rpm whine like any large fairing would do (easily fixed with sound deadener) – the sound gets better around 5,000 rpm. It makes the ride much quieter and the wind hits me at forehead level which is perfect. The bonus is 490 cubic inches of storage between the mounting plates – you just need to add a bottom tray.
Installation – The turn signals need to be slid down 5 inches – loosen the screw and remove the rear bolt. The most difficult thing is you need two 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick brackets with holes with 1.5 to 1.75 inch (38 to 44 mm) center spacing – this is to move the headlight mount forward. If you are short, use a longer bracket with 2.5 to 3 inch (64 to 76 mm) center spacing – this will angle the windshield more. Then the fairing fits over the headlight and fastens at the lower rear with a 5″ (127 mm) bendable bolt or zip-tie. Then you need to come up with top brackets – I just used bungee cords temporarily.
eBay windshield – $77.90 USD shipped – 25″ (63.5 cm) High x 20″ (50.8 cm) Wide. https://www.ebay.com/itm/133888246071?var=433415861645
You might could use these Home Depot mending braces: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-2-in-Zinc-Plated-Mending-Plate-4-Pack-15299/202033910 …. Bolt hole centers are 1.185 inches or 30 cm, so you would need to drill them out some. (For reference, mine were 1.5″ or 38 mm.) Thickness is only .06″ or 1.5 mm, so I would use 3 or 4 of them per side.
