Another reckless fairing thread.
Fixin' to order a reckless fairing. Couple questions for those that have them. 1) what hardware do I need to mount it on my bike? 2) can tunes be heard at highway speed without an amp?

Have you ever been in a high end stereo store where you listened to something in their sound room. Think how quiet the room is and how well it is set up acoustically.
I have a reckless with 4 5 1/4" polk audio two way speakers on my RK and lowers with 6 1/2" two way Polk audio speakers. I just put an amp in for the two lower speakers.
If you are an audiophile you can't beat headphones or helmet speakers to negate the wind noise.
With a fairing radio You will hear very little of the music at highway speeds. But cruising through town or the neighborhood it works fine.
They should have a kit with most of what you need to fasten it to your quick release windshield mount.

I don't run the Reckless fairing, have an ebay one. I run an aftermarket Kenwood digital player (lighter because it doesn't play CD's) and run 4 Hog Tunes 5.25" without an amp. I can listen to tunes at speed, its not car like acoustics, but its there incase I want to listen wile on a road trip (on my Sturgis trip, a guy I road out with said he was listening to my tunes because his radio stopped working, didn't always recognize the music though). Listen to a lot of talk radio, always wonder what people are thinking when it's not music, but some politics rant.
