Default fairing installed
so i finally got to finish up installing my reckless motorcycles batwing fairing on my 2011 fxdc. so far i love it, tunes are nice and loud even without an auxiliary amp. used a flat four trailer harness connector for the wires so it can be detached very easy, and using the hd locking quick release windshield clamps. installed 7in headlight off ebay as the 5.25 stock headlight just looked goofy. put a steering dampner on to help with the wobble when going around big trucks and during windy conditions. enjoy









and here is a little video, just click on the picture

so after a few rides with the new fairing, it sure is nice. plenty of wind protection with verry minimal head buffeting. the ebay steering dampner works ok but its already starting to leak out of the seals so im looking at other dampners that will fit with my existing brackets

That's great was looking at the same setup this just confirms it's a good idea. BTW I tried the speaker from Kurykayn and they were fine around town but missed it at 65-70. Any body interested on them used once cheap what was the size of the windshield did you get?
