You will have to go to []photobucket.com[/url] and establish a free account there. Then you can upload your pictures there. Then you can post the pictures here using the photobucket site. Been so long since I posted pictures I can't even remember it all. I just know you have to start with photobucket and then resize the pictures at photobucket.

[skiman]

OK got the link to photobucket posted I'll up date as I progress
Note to self clean messy shop before taking pictures

[nomadbehappy]

The fairing is going to look great. I just bought a used Premeux fairing that I will be picking up next weekend. My shop is messier than yours right now so I will follow your note to self and clean mine before I take pics of the bike with the fairing .... then again maybe I will just take the pics outside http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[skiman]

I'll be just under $1400 for everything so far
fairing
paint
harley chrome windshield trim
Tbags 3 compartment windshield pouch
hogtenna antenna mounts inside fairing
4 polk audio DB521 speakers marine cetified and 93db too
head unit I'm going with a pyle 3.5 inch touch screen with built in gps
marine mount enclosure
fairing wind deflectors

I have ridden the bike with the fairing mounted and it is a very nice upgrade over the stock
windshield at highway speed it seems to pull you forward and takes all the pressure of your arms

Does anyone have any ideas for a quick disconnect for the power connection from the bike so I can remove the fairing from the bike easily?

[chainsaw]

AAhh, more Harley wanna be's.

Go look in the towing section at your local Autozone/O'Reilly/Pep Boys store. You can find trailer connectors in several different configurations, depending on how many pins you need and they are usually weatherproof.

[nomad72]

I found a male and female connector at radio shack. They had 2,4,6 and 12 pin connectors. They need to be soldered. 4 bucks each so 8 bucks total. I am using the 4 pin. constant power as well as switched plus the ground.

[skiman]

AAhh, more Harley wanna be's.

Na it will just look like a different model harley then it did before http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif
And is way more fun to ride now :)

[VulcanE]

Welcome to the "Nomad BatWing Fairing Brigade". That'll look really sharp when you get it done. I use a 9 pin, and a 4 pin connector on my fairing. Got them at Radioshack.

[hammer]

Roger that, welcome to those who "bat".

[skiman]

doe's that mean I now have a batnad

[VulcanE]

10-4 on the BatNad http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif. A member here has a patch, and I wish I could find one somewhere, to put on my vest. Here's a photo of it.........

[oldbikers]

Cliff I believe that is Kioto that has that patch if you PM him Let me know as I would like to have one also. If you could would you send me a picture of your splash guard opened and closed because I don't like the one I have. Thanks Jim

One question I have is how do you physically mount the radio in the fairing? Modern radios have a mounting frame that the receiver unit slips into and it locks. I would assume some sort of external apparatus will have to be fabricated to support the weight of the unit, or is the weight supported by the fiberglass?

Scott, I don't know about the other fairings, but the Premeux has a slot molded into the inner fairing that a "single din" radio just slips into. You fit the sleeve of the radio into the slot (just does fit), then slip the receiver into the sleeve. Perfect fit, and no mods needed. Doesn't vibrate or flop around, and is as solid as being mounted in a car. The only mod needed is to drill a hole in the back for the wires to exit. After you get the wires through the hole, just silicone up the hole, and with a cover, all is water tight.

[skiman]

This one has a 3x8 inch cut out for use with a marine mounting kit which has the box the the radio mounts in and the cover there are many different type to be found

[oldbikers]

After installing my splash guard I didn't like the way the radio mounted it was loose so I used gas tank strap and came from the top bolts that mount the fairing to the bike and ran it up to the radio on each side, it is very solid now.

[radco]

Is KawaNOW the code on Reckless site for the fairing? Someone outbid me today on the 300$ 1 lol. guess I need to spend the extra 15$ :). Yea Im cheap. I am tighter then a Ducks Butt and thats water tight http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif

Ski what are discount code? KawaNOW?? Thanks

[phred]

The discount code is "kaw14". The price on his website has dropped to $350, with and the discount is now $35, which still brings the price to $315, plus shipping.

[04kaw1500]

Can we get a discount with stereo and speakers installed ?

[skiman]

You can do better getting you own system for less money I just bought 4 polk audio bd521's for 118 bucks looking for a head unit now

[radco]

The discount code is "kaw14". The price on his website has dropped to $350, with and the discount is now $35, which still brings the price to $315, plus shipping.
Kevin, Do we do the buy it now and add code? or go to his web site,,I see his web site is 350$ and e bay was 400$ buy it now

[oldbikers]

Rich go to his web site and add it to your cart then put the code in. Kaw 14

[phred]

Rich go to his web site and add it to your cart then put the code in. Kaw 14
+1 I don't think there's a way to do it on ebay. Just add the fairing to your cart, and when you go to check out, there is a box to type in a promo code or coupon. Enter the coupon there, and it should bring the price down to $315.

[radco]

Jim and Kevin
thanks

[radco]

I am now part of the Reckless crowd, http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif Ordered it about 1 hr ago.. cannt wait.. Got it with no cut outs,, I do that later,,been this long w/o tunes so no problem,, BUT I should be able to paint http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif.. I plan on using the 2 center holes for gauges,, I have a Tach for 1 and a Voltmeter for the other,, about 2 1/4" should look OK.. WHAT you think?and I plan on a lighter also...

[phred]

Rich, congrats on ordering your fairing. Mine came in today, but I didn't get a chance to even pull the bubble wrap off of it, since I was only home for a short time inbetween work. Tomorrow I'll get a better look at it.

[radco]

Kevin, Thanks, Got it with all cut outs filled in..I will also test fit it on my sons Sabre,,Alot of guys are using Bat Wings on them as well,, Mainly the Memphis Shades,,BUT they are more$$ then the Reckless......and IMO not as nice,,,

[skiman]

Well my db521 polk speakers came and the fairing should be back from paint Friday It's like waiting for Santa to come can't wait

[skiman]

Well the red paint was late shipping so no fairing till Tues now. But was able to find a brand new rider 2 gps so that was cool. Now to pick an Alpine head unit they also has a very small 45 rms watt amp that plugs right into the head unit no power wires to mess with. Put my windshield back on for a ride to today and I'll have to say once you go Bat you'll never go back. I was in a Victory dealer and sat on one of the tour somethings the bagger looking one and I really like the handlebars on it your hands are in a much more natural position might have to explore that option.

[delivery58]

Can somebody COMMENT
on the different handling characteristics of before and after the Fairing. Vulcans have always been know to be well handling, yet fork mounted fairings for sure add weight to the steering. It's got to have a heavier feel. ( I know we didn't buy our Nomads to be Sport Bikes). I once had a GL1200 Goldwing, frame mounted fairing and I liked it. I also hear the the HD Street Glide (frame mounted fairing) have a better steering feel than the Ultra?

[skiman]

Mine is much more stable at highway speed might be the extra down force at 75 not sure but it is rock solid and at low speed I can't tell any difference

[phred]

I took mine for quick spin with the fairing mounted. It felt about the same, handling wise, but I never got over 60mph.

[radco]

Good to hear that handling is not a issue,, I find the Nomad slow handling at parking lot speeds, Im not big. even though Im 220lbs at 6ft 3.. Sounds big but Im a slim version http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif. Man cannt wait to get my fairing..Now I have to get it painted soon ::).. I hold off on food and beer for awhile http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif well Ill hold off on Food anyway ::)

[skiman]

That's the trade off for the longer rack and trail

[radco]

Yes it is,, BUT when I get on the 1100 Honda it really shows the difference LOL. I can turn on a dime with that bike :).. BUT for the long haul the Nomad is the bike to have,, and even hopping around the Nomad just is a more comfortable bike..
With the fairing it will be better, I will add the Marine Radio w.CD/MP3 and Weather Band.. Decided the Weather Band would be a bonus since I long haul alot..

[papalode]

I'm curious as to paint costs on the batwing fairings. I had a local shop quote $250 for a two tone job. I'll be ordering my wing shortly and based on these threads am convinced the reckless fairing will work just fine.

Thanks, Bill

[skiman]

That is a real good price if they do good work

[skiman]

Was looking at seals for the fairing project and found these u shaped seals thought about doing a seal around the inner fairing and door edge seal on the outer to give a finished look to the seam of the two halves was thinking the first one on the chart
comments welcome

[skiman]

Good deal can't wait to get mine going I ordered a Kenwood KDC-HD545U CD/MP3/AM/FM/HD Radio Receiver will be here tomorrow fairing should be back from paint this week took 3 weeks but it will be worth the wait

Thanks, Bill

I paid $500 for my paint job, that includes the scan and supply of paint as well as all the labour to prep and shoot (2 tone, pin stripe and clear coat). It has turned out excellent, no dust, perfect colour match and smooth as glass. A little steep, but we tend to have to pay more in Canada than our neighbours to the south :'(

[radco]

My replacement Fairing will ship this week, Just got a email from Alex..He was asking me if I want to go to the 6x9..:) now that Ive seen the 4 5" I'm not sure,, Frigging decision,, Didnt have to make decisions when I was married,, ::)

[phred]

Rich, I talked with Alex today too. He was going to take some measurements of the fairing I sent back, and then call me back. I did tell him that I wanted the 6x9 for a replacement though :) You need to get the 6x9, all the cool kids are doing it, it's the coolest!!

Kevin I had a e mail form Alex today. LOL and he asked me if I wanted the 6x9 speakers .. I said yes. Plus I got a nice Thankyou for doing some bracket mock up and sent some pics,,,,
Alls good in the Hood :)Mine ships tomorrow,

[phred]

Is he going to incorporate your brackets?

[radco]

Is he going to incorporate your brackets?
?????????? ???what do you mean? make them part of the fairing IE: 1 piece? ???

[phred]

No, not make them one piece, but use your design. You talked about slotting the brackets like the oem windshield brackets, right? Is he going to start making his brackets like that?

[radco]

No, not make them one piece, but use your design. You talked about slotting the brackets like the oem windshield brackets, right? Is he going to start making his brackets like that?
Im not sure if he is.. BUT I will be making a set out of some sheet aluminum to try, I will send him a set if they help alot.. I can make a set and send them to you as well if I have ebough metal.. I can also make another template of them, The Fairing I will be getting will not have the mounting flang holes drilled. I will mount brackets to the bike,, fit the fairing over the to where I want,,Mark holes and drill,,that way I can set the fairing to the height I want.. and I may put slotted hole in the fairing for tweaking front to back if needed and up and down on the brackets. ALSO I am going to cut a plate for the inside of the inner where the bolts go through.. IE: 1 Large washer vs 2 small fender washers..... so the load should be spread better IMO....

[phred]

Alex said the same to me, he's not going to drill holes in the fairing to attach the mounting brackets, but, like you said, allow me to position the fairing how I want it, and then drill the holes.

I bought some bigger fender washers to help spread out the load, but a metal backer inside would be a better idea.

He hasn't gotten back with me since I spoke with him this morning, so I don't know when a replacement will be sent my way. Are you getting a whole new fairing, or just the inner? Let me know when you get it and how it looks (and measures!).

not sure if its the innner or complete.. BUT I ordered the 5" windshield. I have the 8"" but may like the 5" better,, for the price I got the 5"' :)

Ill update as I go..Then to make up a radio mount cross bar.. I cannt wait to ride with the fairing on :) Like a kid in a candy store LOL..Just got the windshield 3 bag pouch off e bay
45$ looks nice... You also keep us updated,, I still think we got a GREAT deal.. There was NO way I could lay out 1400$ on the fairing alone, This one came out of my floor budget for 1 BR,, That room is on hold LOL.

[skiman]

Ok I know it's been forever but I picked up my fairing from paint today no time for pics right now I'll get them up tomorrow. It looks great and the side covers are two tone now too got them mounted they really look great they highlight that dead area under the seat and then had to do yard work all day wows me ...arr arr
stay tuned for more details on the stereo install and all the rest of the fitment details
Stay safe this weekend remember they're out to get you so stay sharp

later

Ok now the big problem the stereo opening in my fairing is 8 1/2'' x 3 1/2'' when I bought it said for marine cover well no marine cover I have found so far will cover that opening
I'm looking pictures of others fairings and the hole is not as big as mine now
I emailed them to find out what marine cover they cut the hole for we'll see what they say

I dont think I would advertise that you have a big hole ::) LOL..
I got my fairing with the radio and speaker holes closed,, So hopefully when the time comes I wount have a issue,, Ill check the Marine supply store my son works at and see what they have in covers.....

[oldbikers]

I couldn't find it on his web site but on e-bay his add say's the hole is 8 1/2" X 3 1/2"

[skiman]

yeah that's what mine is that part I can work around not finding much in 5 inch speakers might have to experiment with trimming the grill to clear the fairing and still look decent

Here's what you need. It's the same thing I bought and can't use because my opening is a standard 1-din size. I just went out and measured mine, it will fit just right in a 3.5" x 8.5" opening.

Personally, I think Alex needs to provide better information on his website. Just having a few pictures of painted fairings isn't good enough. He needs to add some dimensions and other details.

[skiman]

Thanks CJ I'll have to order one
I have the one I got but it's for a single din It's nice just won't work unless there's a single din slot

[radco]

I e mailed Alex to let him know of the minor complaints, IE No size listed on the radio, and about the 1500 sitting abit hi over the head light bucket,, I offered to send him my Mock up bracket as a model..... If he is not interested can someone here cut a bracket on their machine?
Dropped my fairing off to paint today :).. Painter was impressed
with the prep job from Reckless. HOPEFULLY it will save me a buck or 2 :)

[skiman]

Two mistakes I made was not drilling all the speaker and radio mount holes before paint now I have a few chips I need to to fix. The other was not having the paint guy clean up the the rough area that shows on outer fairing near the outside speakers

This is a good point. I was debating whether to do some finish sanding before paint. Now I know I will. I may also spray it with black primer, since I'm getting it painted black.

Basically, the Reckless fairings are a decent product. An extremely good value for the money. I think he just needs to work on his marketing some. He's probably a good technical guy, but not a good business man.

It's not uncommon. Try finding stuff on Tsukayu's website. Talk about a jumbled up mess. Alex has a good website, it just needs more descriptive content.

[oldbikers]

Skiman you can do like I did and put chrome around that edge or get some of the black like came with the fairing and go all the way from windshield to the bottom of the fairing. If you look close you can see the chrome strip in the picture I posted here:

I may have my fairing back from the painter Sat or Sun :) He had very little prep work to do on it so it goes to paint faster then planned :)

I'm going to put the trim on but mine had about a 1/2 -3/4'' of the inside of the outer shell showing on the very outer edge the rough inside showing I wish I would have drilled all my holes before paint even with a sharp bit the paint chipped off I can fix it but had I completely drilled all the holes before hand it would have saved time and heartache I took the foam off the windshield and will replace it with one thin piece on the outer and I have the windshield bags on the inner so it will close up the gap

[skiman]

I guess what I'm saying is it is way better to have the fairing just like you want it before paint so when it comes back you just install your stuff and bolt it on instead of trying to do it all on the painted fairing and risking chipping the paint

[skiman]

Got some new pictures there's lots of dust showing in the picture
for some reason it is sticking like a magnet but it is a nice paint job

Got my speakers mounted and had to hook the stereo up for a test run and it sounds great
the kenwood is plenty loud with no amp to get all the tickets I dare. now waiting for the radio box and to run the power. I have a hogtenna but when I hook the power to it all I get is static unhooked it seem to work fine but I think an antenna on the back of the bike will ordered soon.

Thanks it was frustrating at times but now that it's done it was worth it.
today I added a micro switch in the left light switch to mute the radio so small you can hardly see it.
next I think I'll buy an extra remote to take apart and try to wire up switches for the volume control but that's the fun part of it making it your own.

Has anybody tried color rite motorcycle paint ? And painted their own fairing . Thats what I'm thinking of doing .

[radco]

Has anybody tried color rite motorcycle paint ? And painted their own fairing . Thats what I'm thinking of doing .
I didnt use Color Rite but from what I hear it is a GREAT Paint but BIG $$$.. The paint on my fairing is Dupont, A Painter did it.. Better price, My trunk a bud and I painted,, Went to a Local Auto Part/Paint store, They shot the bike with a Paint scanner, Mixeds it right. way better price the Color Right,Plus with less cost any mistakes were cheap to fix.......Just my 2 cents
Rich
