I'm doing a HD trunk per RDs advice. It's a bit of money and he's corrected my course a few times!

I am very pleased with mine from reckless. I have put four speakers on it and a marine radio I have around 850 in mine. I also have the phatt three risers. I don't have a cover over my radio though,but know problems so far

looks good ! how did the instulation go? I dropped a bid on the Reckless on Ebay, so I'll be installing it here a few weeks when I get it

There very easy to install take your windshield off put the bracket that comes with the fairing and put it on the very same place the windshield was.

Perfect, thanks !

Does anyone have trouble with the speakers lining up, or the magnet hitting the outter fairing on the two outside speakers when going with the 4 speaker set up on the Reckless Fairings?

I agree that the reckless seems to be the way to go. I wish it was around when I did mine! I bought a fiberglass HD knock off on ebay cheap, then spent hundreds of dollars and seemingly that many hours figuring how to mount it. After getting custom aluminum mounts laser burned and bent, drilled, etc... I like the way it turned out, but it was WAY to much work.

Great info from all you guys, I'm putting in my bid next week for a Reckless off of EBay. My Pilion and I are heading down to Nashville in a week from the Great White North, so I plan on picking it up from the factory in Maryville myself. Just not sure which speaker set-up to choose.
Is anyone configuration stand out from the three choices?

fltekdiver · 12-31-2010, 03:49 PM

Hey Jesper, My friend went through the same thing on the VTX, it took him countless hours trying to figure out how to mount the HD fairing, and make the brakets etc

I just dropped a bid on the Reckless for $250.00 + $50 shipping on Ebay, comes with the mounts !

Popet, I'm also looking for 5" for mine, may go with Infinity, or Polk Audios

fltekdiver · 01-01-2011, 10:36 AM

Just paid for the Reckless fairing with 6.5 speakers < i cant wait to get it !!!

popet · 01-11-2011, 07:46 AM

Just arrived in Nashville with the wife, driving out to the factory in Maryville on Thursday to pick up my Reckless I purchased off E Bay for $250.00.
Still looking for a marine stereo & 6.5"speakers.

Make sure when you buy a Reckless Fairing that you let Alex know that you are with Kawanow even if you buy it off e-bay.

ebay has the same radio - speakers- and cover that reckless uses for $120 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT I was by there the other day Ask Alex about the KawaNOW discount it is 35 off of the regular 350 price
