I see this is listed on both their website and Amazon. There are a few on Amazon, some say for 2018 others don’t list years. But on their website you can choose model years.

Prefer to get on Amazon, anyone know?
First off; condolences on not only losing the perfect season but on losing it to Washington.
Good Lord you're likely still feeling depressed
I believe they all mount on the Heritage the same.
I'd give Reckless a call and ask.
I think if all you're looking for is a fairing the $399 XE model is fine but it's likely she's going to want a stereo.
With the XE model it would be a bitch if even possible to add a stereo later so that would be an issue for me.
I recommend you get the model that allows you to add a stereo.
For around $200 you could add a cheap marine stereo head unit and 4 speakers or possible find a used system.
Note that you'll have to figure out how to mount everything in the fairing which will be more than just installing the stereo head unit and amp.
You'll likely need to fabricate something within the fairing to support the stereo head unit and amp.
My fairing came with a small stereo head unit but the amp is mounted on a bracket that was designed to support it.
I would think with a little thought however and some backyard engineering you can figure out something.
IMO if you've got the coin I'd rock her world and go all in and get the loaded unit from Reckless.
With the loaded unit I'm rocking even at 90mph going down the highway.
I paid around $1250 for my Reckless fairing but it's loaded with everything to include the handlebar remote.
$1250 is an awful lot of money and I sometimes wonder if I had been better off just getting the fairing and outfitting it myself but I had the coin so I just went all in.

Yeah, not to happy with the loss, but the last couple of weeks, they have been a bit off. Maybe this is the wake up call they need.
thanks for the info on reckless, I will give them a call. We talked about going full bore, and she doesn’t want the tunes. We use Sena Bluetooth coms, and that’s where she gets her tunes.
I use my road glides radio, but really only when we are not riding together. She rarely rides alone.
He Blu- So are you pleased with the Reckless? I really like the look of the Hoppe and the idea of the quick release. Thanks.
Yeh I like it,
It's not perfect but its done me well.
It supposed to be quick release but I have a hard time getting it over my passing lights so I have to loosen the passing light mounting bolts but that doesn't take much.
I only take it off though at the end of the riding season to get the bike a thorough cleaning.
Got the fairing, and have it on. I will paint it to match over the winter. Very pleased with the quality. Only issue was the foam between the inner and outer and getting the shield in. I kinda boogered up the foam, but got it fixed.
