Has anyone actually installed a Batwing Fairing w/stereo on a Heritage? If so what brand? Comments please!
There is another thread about a "Wedge Fairing" but not sure about them as they seem to be new with not much info on their Website and it is a frame mounted fairing as opposed to a fork mounted fairing.
I put a Woody’s fairing on my CVO Deluxe. Made a huge difference with wind. I think if I were to do it over again I would experiment with the newer windshield with the curve at the top. It’s your bike do what you want. If you live in Colorado and ride year around, a faring sure is nice.

It is your money and your motorcycle.
DO anything you want.
Thanks for nothing.
Just looking to find out if it is a good idea or not. Pros/cons etc.
I have a recurve windhield that works great, but I kind of like the Idea of a sound system.
I have been told all the handlebar mounted sound systems are not worth the money as you cant hear them at highway speeds, I'm assuming if a sound system works with a fairing on a turing bike, it should work on a Softail.

Looks good!
Do you have a sound system installed? If so, cay you hear it a t highway speeds (55+)?
Are you interested in the fairing for the sake of having a fairing or for the tunes? The reason I ask is because I googled/youtubed Road King sound systems and came up with a setup for my heritage that absolutley rocks. No fairing.

Kinda looking for a sound system, but also kinda like the idea of a fairing with its added benefits and everything built in. Hate the idea of cluttering up the handelbars with the speakers and/or boom box.
Which brand did you go with? Specifics? Could you shoot some pic's of your install. Is the sound OK at highway speeds (55+).
you can buy just the box an add your choice of radio an speakers
Thank you, but I have looked a a number of these type of units and have been told the same thing...don't waste your money.
As I answered in the previous post, the Idea of a fairing with a buildt in plug and play sound system appeals to me.
Would really be nice if someone who has actually installed a fairing on a late model Heritage would reply with some informative type comments. Pros and Cons. How does the bike handle? Etc.
