My reckless install

[skiman]

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

Roger that, welcome to those who "bat".

[skiman]

doe's that mean I now have a batnad

[VulcanE]

10-4 on the BatNad . 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?
