Default Question from a Newb

I'm pondering installing a batwing on the 13 Wide Glide I just purchased and I'm torn on witch way to go...Plain Batwing or one with a Stereo? If I went with a stereo equipped fairing would I be able to hear it with the V&H Street Sweepers I have on the bike? Thanks I advance for your help.

You probably won't be able to hear it very well unless you have a really good quality head unit and possibly an amp as well.

If you want a batwinged bike, go trade the WG in on one.
