UPDATE

A couple of weeks later I made a further modification to the lower
mounting points of the WindWrap fairing.

Fixing the rans supplied mount to the upper threaded hole effectively
lowered the bottom of the fairing, this relaxed the curve at the bottom
resulting in a much more aesthetically pleasing shape.

A close look will reveal a second short set of fairing supports attached
to the fork in the lower threaded holes eliminating any movement 
and vibration to the bottom of the fairing.

Mark Mueller of Windwrap Fairings very kindly
sent me rubber expansion bolts to mount the fairing
to the bar ends.  I elected to use 2 on each bar as I 
did with the bolt/wingnuts in previous photos above.
I am very happy with the mounting setup now as it's quiet
and firmly mounted with no squeaks or rattles at last.
