Tsukayu fairing installed - with lots of pictures

OK, I got her installed and here's the scoop - For a 2007 Black Nomad

Got a Painted gloss Black(not color matched) Tsukayu light tint 5" with full stereo- $1,309.. I received the fairing 7 weeks after order. The fairing was well protected in a handmade fiberglass coffin type box. Shipping weight including brackets was 32lbs.

Quality is outstanding.
Fitment is excellent.
Finish is excellent
Unit is fiberglass with a SMOOTH inner fairing (one of the few available)
Paint is outstanding and so close to stock gloss black that I would recommend saving your money for custom color match and just get stock black
I find I am very proud of the aesthetic enhancement from the addition of this fairing - my Nomad resembles a "sleeker" Street Glide when soloed out
Audio system is capable - if nothing else, there might be too many features for a motorcycle system.
Volume is excellent.
Noted - If you set the unit to sound good while stationary with a decent amount of base, you will overdrive the speakers while underway - cut back on the Base and Loudness feature so you can crank it up while underway
Remote is not practical.
Marine cover is included
Multi-control is difficult to use while underway.
USB storage is neat, convenient feature.
Audio Unit is apparently a Hong Kong Version as model does not display under google search
Speakers are 6" round Punch Rockford Fosgate quality speakers and look neat - you can see the speaker vibrate
Wind protection is non-or very little - you are 'in the wind' with the 5" windshield, but it looks damn good - I will be adding higher windshields for cooler temps
Easy on and off with included attachment coupling.
Install took longer getting the old windshield/light bar stuff off than mounting the fairing.
To use the brackets provided, YOU MUST REMOVE YOUR FORK SIDE MOUNTING BRACKETS, thus, you will lose your lightbar and signals - I have some LED aftermarket signals on the way.

Here is how it looks now - I would I do it again - in a heartbeat. I hope this helps some of you considering fairings.
***sorry about the background - I was wanting to ride
