QuoteSpecial Ordering Note: Fairing is NOT designed or recommended for installation on cycles with high-mounted-style turn signals that are attached to the headlight mounting bracket. Installation on these cycles would require cutting and drilling of the fairing body sides or the removal or relocation of the turn signals.

I dont know if this would apply to the GS, but I will note on the Targa fairing that notches are cut out of the fiberglass for the signal post to fit.

have you checked out the Targa fairing? it is more expesive, but it is a perfect fit.

IIRC there is some fettling necessary to make it fit. I thought it was the handlebars hit it just barely...

Take a look at some of the National Cycle windscreens.  The F-15 does a pretty good job.  Good fit.  Several companies carry it and most shops can order it.
