Got my new Reckless fairing painted and installed. I really like it and enjoy the stero.

Looks good!!! Go get yourself some type of foam stripping to put in between the fairing and the nacelle, you will get a whine / whistle from the wind at speed.

Looks nice.
I've been digging my Reckless fairing for going on 5 years.
Pricey addition but IMO well worth it.

I have one as well. The paint on yours came out real nice. Mine not so much, dust particles and a couple runs.
I opted for a custom stereo, spinning nearly 500 watts. I don't have any wind coming up thru the headlamp opening, but I'm never at highway speeds, 99% is backroads.
Yours looks great on that bike 👍🏻
