Default $1200 dropped in my lap, what fairing should I buy?

Like the title states I've come across an unexpected $1200 and am thinking of putting it toward a fairing and I'm looking for recommendations.

I already have Boom Audio handlebar speaker setup and it's OK so I'm not sure if getting a fairing with an integrated stereo is a must but would consider it.

I do like my windshield bag so I would like to retain some form of windshield storage.

Lastly, my bike is vivid black so I'm hoping to get something already gloss black as I really don't want to get it painted.

Also I'm liking the Leather Pro's lowers as well.

Thanks in advanced for all the recommendations.

This is where I'm looking at going.

I was hoping not to have to mentioned in my thread that I'm not looking for opinions on whether or not to add a fairing or whether or not to change bikes.

I appreciate it if you don't have a fairing recommendation keep your opinions to yourself or feel free to start your own thread on the subject.

I'm not sure that I'll go with a fairing but I'm looking for something that will give me better winter protection and I'm looking to do something different.

I am really happy with my woodys. Glenn is great to work with and answers any and all your questions. Recommend you at least talk to him prior to getting one as you will inform you about all possible issue of putting one on.

I have seen Woody's fairings. They are top notch. I want to do a roadglide fairing on my softail...but that's my preference. Saving money for it now and looking for a decent fairing.

So you're adding a second headlight?
Not sure about that look but to each his own.

Put in the bank and use it when an unexpected emergency comes up.

You must be mistaken.
This thread is about fairings not financial advice.
