New Reckless fairing is in!!
Ok, the new fairing is in and it looks great! It's a little off center, but thats do-able. My new issue is that my driving lights no longer fit. What I need to know is what everyone is using for mounts. I have Princess Auto spot lights with visors as my driving lights and home made brackets, but my brackets extended wouldn't even come close to fitting. Pictures would be greatly appreciated!

Well since your driving lights are a custom design, maybe some pictures of them and how they are mounted might help us come up with some solutions.

I just got my reckless fairing yesterday and found that my handlebar risers are too long! They came with the bike when I bought it and I think they are Phatrisers. What's the highest Phariser (Or any other riser) I can use? Also, Anyone who uses the Sena SMH10, have you found a fairing stereo that will stream the sound to your headset?

I had to space my driving lights out, as well as exchange my Phatt risers for some HD pull backs to clear my stereo

Voyager, so any of the HD pullbacks will fit the kawasaki? I checked the Phatrisers at scootworks and there is a 4" version which might fit. I went and measured my risers at lunch and they are the 5.5" Phatrisers. Looks the the HD pullbacks are cheaper too. Also, what stereo are you using?

The HD 4" pull back risers work on the Reckless, Thats what I had,, To me it looked to cluttered so I sold them.. Going to try the 1700 Bars I got from Jared.. If you go the HD route go to E Bay to grab a set,and a Set of caps.. You willalso need Stud adapters like from Scoot Works,, They are 1/2" ips for the riser side and 10mm for the Nomad side,,, They are about 15$.. On the VROC site a guy had a bunch made up and is selling for likw 5$ a pair

Help
I received my new fairing today after I ordered on Friday of last week (quick). My question is, how do you mount it to the bike? The bolt holes on the fairing do not match up with any part of my windsheild brackets? I searched the box for mounting brackets but came up empty. The box only had the fairing and the windscreen! Am I missing something here? Am I not seeing the connection to the bolt holes and bike? Please advise as to what I may be doing wrong.

If you didn't receive the brackets, then you have a problem. Call Reckless and speak to Alex and explain your situation.
