Default 2014 inner fairing

Hello Jamie; I am interested in adding the XM Satellite module on my 2014 Ultra Limited. Is the new fairing more or less time consuming to open, allowing access to the radio so that the module could be added. I asked my Harley dealer and they told me they had no idea???? Gave me a real feeling of confidence.

Thank you
Scott

There's where the better sounds and little bass are now coming from

they've made basically a speaker box behind each speaker

so there may be a little thump from those 6.5's up front now

I'm wondering now if these new plastics would fit the earlier batwings and if it is an available part in the market...everyone could do with a little extra bass up front.

It's a completely different inner fairing so I'm betting there are ZERO chances it bolts up

probably doesn't even have the correct shape to fit under the old batwing

Do you have any estimate of how long it should take to open-up the fairing like you showed in the photo? I would assume that adding the XM module would be the easy part once the fairing is open. I really appreciate the photo, Thank you

Default Picture of outer fairing

Seven screws plus the headlight connector. Shouldn't take any longer than the previous model years, about 15 minutes max after placing a fresh towel on the front fender and a towel on your workbench to prevent scratches.

See red circles in photo.

I am thinking those speaker trays---the white speaker boxes will fit in the older models w a lil improvising!!! An air saw or utility knife...watch them end up being a hot item to add on older bikes!,

Hell for that matter watch the uppers and inners be swapped out for obvious reasons! Stay tuned...already seeing new wheel sets bringing $1500
