Is the whole thing only mounted at the top on those welded brackets?

Nice work...The only question that comes to mind is the temperature of your legs. There will be a bit of engine heat, and it looks like your legs are going to get the brunt of it....
But the lines and shape are very nice...hope it works out

it could be cool (no pun intended) to cut a design out of the lower portion surrounding the motor, and back it with the stainless mesh that people use for brake hubs. I don't know how much it would actually help, but it wouldn't hurt, and probably look bad ass

right. after that post i immediately did a google image search to try and find something to illustrate my point, but couldn't find anything. If you styled them to match the over style of the tank, and the aggressiveness of the bike, it could look pretty damn cool.

look into these for fasteners if your mounting from the outside.

we use them on our Formula SAE racecar body at Syracuse University. you can make a simple bracket to get close to the fairing and weld the wire to that, the screws enter from the outside and with a 1/4 turn lock into place. Gives a nice clean look to the body but allows for easy removal. Can add a little paint to the screws to hide them more, and since there only 1/4 turn you won't mangle them up if you take them on and off. I've even used nail polish to cover the heads (cheap fix to get a close color match, or an accent)

The BTU's required to cool an air cooled engine are the same for a water cooled engine....The air coming off the radiator, fully warmed up, will be about 160 degrees, about the same temperature off an air cooled engine....

Do you guys think the vent should be sloped to direct hot air out of the fairing (when moving) or to direct cooler air into the fairing (when moving)?
Directing the hot air out of the fairing would make sense to me. Alternatively, it might be more effective to use the flow to add cool air against my legs. Basically, it might be more comfortable to introduce cooler air than it would be to remove some of the heat. Thoughts?

Both. Air in needs a clean path out too. If you do it right, you will get both more air directed through the radiator with a clear path out, but not on your legs. That is the problem that even OEM fairings struggle with.
