Looks pretty nice and a good price as well. I wonder what the weight is?

Doesn't look too bad.
I imagine it's Asian made but that's not always a bad thing.
Asian parts are always a lot cheaper and often times equal quality to American made products.

For the price I don't think you're risking much.

I put one on my Heritage, nice fairing for the money. I had to replace the crappy windscreens they included, the clear one was scratched and the other was a weird yellow color! As long as you're cool with drilling and wiring you can have a nice fairing for short money.

Mine came in black gel coat, needed nothing and matched my black paint perfectly.

I've got a fully loaded Reckless fairing.
With all the options you're looking at around $1250.

I think the fairing only is around $650.

Is the Reckless fairing worth $400 more than the Stealth?
Well that's up to opinions and since I've never seen the Stealth I can't render one.

I will say that I'm very pleased with the Reckless fairing even though the $1250 price tag was a bit hard to swallow.

Im at a cross of what I want to do about a fairing. I could risk it and buy the ebay special and hope the quality is nice. I don't care about the radio wiring because I want to run premium everything ( kicker , fosgate , alpine ) . even if I buy a reckless fairing I would still order it empty and do my own stereo . ive done every stereo in all of my cars and trucks. my biggest concern about the ebay buys is quality. I have 15K dollar bike. I don't want to run something on it that is going to have waves and need painted. ive been told the reckless fairings have a really top notch gelcoat on them . I cant say for the ebay ones. there is a warrenty though on the ebay one. something to consider

Any install or fitment issues?? I'm considering one for a 97 heritage I just bought. Happen to have any pics other than your sig pic? Interested to see how it fits around the headlight and spots.
