Stereo wiring for fairing?
I am looking at getting the reckless fairing without the stereo, I priced speakers/stereo/amp and it came out to be quite a bit less that the with stereo price. The problem I am facing is that it doesn't seem many do this and using the search here and google I can't quite find what I am looking for. I want to know what kind of wiring am I looking at if I do it on my own, I already have 4 power wires ready to go but will I have to solder them in to a stereo harness or can I wire it myself? If you have pictures laying around of the inside of your reckless I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Chuck Smith has an amp and wired it himself. He answered a ton of questions when I did mine.

What I and many others have done (I had a Reckless fairing on my old Nomad) is use a trailer wiring connector to allow for quick disconnection to remove the fairing.

I don't think it's as hard as you may imagine. The wiring guide on your stereo will show which wires are which. If you don't care about a clock on your stereo or preset stations, you shouldn't have to worry about a constant power source. When I install my fairing(sometime in the future) and stereo, it will probably only be used for the iPod. That way you could wire it up to just come on when the bike is on.
By the way, thanks for your service.

Couple of shots of the wire harness inside the fairing. The entire harness connects to a bulkhead fitting on the underside where it meets the harness from the bike. Right now I have that connector and one other that feeds my gauges. So, the fairing inner section can be removed from the bike with only the two connectors showing.
