To batwing or not to batwing ?
I really want music on my ride so I'm really interested in a small batwing fairing but am worried how it would look on my bike! (2014 LR) not so sure this type of bike would look good with a batwing. Opinions welcome! Want some insight before I get one and then I change my mind! Im between the reckless and the tsukayu! Does anyone know if these 2 are the same size? Looking for the smallest profile possible. Does anyone know of any other setups maybe a quarter fairing with a system? Also wouldn't mind the wind blockage of the fairing!

This winter I will be working on modifying an old Wixom Brothers fairing to my bike. I'll have 16's front and back, the last picture is the stock 19". This is a temporary mock up but you get the idea.

No go on the blue tooth! I wanna hear the music but also hear my exhaust and surroundings! Also as I said earlier the wind deflection is a plus! Basically just looking for others opinions on how a batwing will look on the LR and if it matches the styling of the bike or will look out of place!

well there are joe's fork bag stereos. and several hard bag mounted stereos you can add on regardless of the fairing.
most quarter fairings dont have the room for a full on headunit and speakers.
for what its worth, i think a batwing looks goofy without hardbags to offset it. but thats what quarter fairings are for.

I'm ordering a batwing from Dead Center Cycles next week. Take a look at theirs. You can get it without an inner fairing or with and with or without a stereo if you want to add your own into their I inner.
