The podium feet and the 3028 fit kit cost me $183.60 . The fairing and the bars I took from my e46 kit, so $0 for me. Be very careful where you buy the 3028 kit from. A lot of places say they have them in stock, but really don't. Call first.

Nice!

I'm wanting to get into biking soon, I've been trying to snag a deal on a lightly used rack for my ZHP...

Looks neat.

I had a different approach. Removable towbar with a Thule rack out the back. Works well.

I haven't experienced any additional road noise from the rack. Its worked out very well. I'm not big on sunroofs, but my guess is that with the fairing you should be fine with the sunroof without excess wind.. I will check it out next time I'm on the highway.
