If you're close enough to be able to provide a bike to use, perhaps they'll give you a deep discount on it?

On their Facebook page they said the 1700 nomad will be available in ~2 weeks as of 30 March. Sweet!!! I would expect by end of month, if the C50 rollout timeframe was any indication.

They probably aren't in a huge hurry because there is probably not a high demand.

I'd assume that most buyers who where interested in a fairing bought a Voyager.

I'm thinking about going with a batwing till I get my faring done.
The way things are going it will be the middle of the summer before I get mine done
are reckless farings abs or fiberglass?

Website says fiberglass. I will be waiting for this, priced it with color rite paint and with the discount it will grand total at 823.25 before shipping. I can do that! I did use the Nomad 1600 as the base price, it probably won't be too different.

If it is glass. I think I will go with one
I can rework the inner to my liking and have it done and on the bike in a couple of weeks
I was looking at a harley faring on e-bay but the inner is ABS and would require way more work to do what i want.
I would only save about $100.00. I think I can get most of my money back out of the reckless when I sell it so may as well go that route

Apparently you can request they don't cut out the speaker holes...there will be indents. I plan on getting the 4 speaker option with only 2 speakers cutout, that way I am going to mount my RAM mount for the GPS and have some switch space.

The reckless fairing is gel-coated fiberglass.
