I am really interested in the fairing but I really do not want to give up my Phatt II risers, so my question is does anybody have the 6x9 fairing with these or another brand of risers with pics installed? Thanks for any help.

I don't know if this'll help or not; I have a Harley Bat Wing fairing on mine, along with my 2x4 risers; no issue with it.
I'm not familiar with the Reckless, clearances, though.

I have a Reckless with Phatt II risers. The only issue you want to consider is the radio control access. The risers a real close to some controls,making them hard to manipulate. There is no more than a 1/4" clearance between the risers and radio face.

I think the radio I am going to put in it comes with a remote and most of the time i will be using the aux. for my ipod so i wont be putting cd's or anything in it. Thanks for the response.

I use mine pretty much the same way, it's manipulating the source buttons. The ones that switch between the radio, aux, CD, etc. But not much of an issue if you're not switching between sources.

If you plan to use a radio cover to protect the radio from the elements, make sure it will open with the risers in place.

I believe Oldbiker put on a set of 13 inch apes which basically replace the phatt risers. I think he said he had to reroute one hose but this gave him room for fairing.
