I've been going back and forth with this. I looked into the Hoppe Fairings, but for some reason they don't offer an Amp, and the price is so much more the Reckless. I can upgrade the radio, add an Amp and paint, and still be cheaper. Hmmm.

I like the Reckless fairing. Bang for the buck ($399)
Can't beat it. It seems some of the pics I've seen,
they're tilted WAY fwd. Some, they look normal.
I guess you could drill (tweak) the brkts.

But, I've sure thought about it for the winter mo's or
a long (hundreds of miles) ride

That look of being titled forward may have a lot to do with the positioning of the bars, some of the pictures shown here the handlebars are pulled back, I keep mine in line with the front forks, I like the smooth transition from fork to bar and so far it's been the most comfortable for me.
