Ordered reckless fairing

[nomadwest]

I just ordered the fairing unpainted, 6 1/2" speakers, no stereo. I also ordered the radio cover. I am thinking of going with solid Candy Cardinal Red for paint and maybe some titanium color pinstriping. Any suggestions on stereo or paint would be welcome.

Sounds like your on a path that will keep you busy for quite a while. Any stereo you choose will work, I chose mine because it has a front USB poer so I can use my Ipod, its a Sony car deck and works well. I just installed some more speakers on my Tour Pak yesterday and wired them up.

There are many choices for stereos out there, I chose a marine rated unit. Did you order a windshield? I ordered an 8 or 10" shield and cut it down to my desired height. Had my fairing painted 2-tone but reversed the colors and had matching pin striping added to break up the colors a bit. Be sure you get a clear coat on the paint to protect from road grime. Good luck, you'll enjoy the fairing.

I ordered the 8 inch clear shield. Will cut down if too high. Thinking of ordering one of the flip up designs later. I hear they all pretty much fit if they are 3 hole.

I'm using A ploy planar MR-50 it's waterproof so no rain cover needed it looks and sounds good . Almost done with the install half painted and half installed .You can go to star marine depot for the stereo and check it out .

I dropped mine off at the painters yesterday.My Nomad is the same colors as yours Dave(maroon & titanium) so I'll let you see what I did and maybe it will give you some ideas.

Thanks Darksider. Look forward to seeing your finished fairing. I see you live in Pasco. We might of crossed paths or might in the future since you live so close to Spokane.

picked up my fairing today tried to put my speakers 6.5 Marine speakers in and the holes are too small by almost a inch I am going back to alex tommorow and see what he says also he said today if you use the weather cover you have to cut the radio hole out larger.

We were up in Spokane a couple of weeks ago for the motorcycle show. We usually ride "somewhere" every weekend.
I'll post pics if/when I get my fairing back this weekend.

We have the same paint combo; here's my Reckless fairing with the paint job I put on it. Plus, I laid on the 3M protective coating on it as well.

That is almost exactly how I am getting mine painted.
The shop called me to say they had to order the paint so it will take a couple more days to finish. I should be able to pick it up mid week.

My fairing was black, but I had to go to the two-tone to match the bike and I am very happy with the result
