I ordered a reckless fairing today also. Hoping it will make those cold mornings a little easier, especially on the hands.

Wonder who will get theirs first?

Will do it shipped faster than I thought it should be nice so long as it's loud enough to get through the pipes. I have everything ready for the install now I just have to wait the weekend out. It's raining here so the wait is alright

It came in this morning took just about 15 minutes to hook up with no hiccups whatsoever. It fits spot on. I like it it looks great and sounds great and kills the wind so far very pleased with the whole experience

Was looking at one for a friends Heritage but he has 16" apes on his bike. With yours on a Heritage would the apes have to be pulled back for clearance or would they be able to be positioned straight up without hitting the inner side of the fairing? Would love to see some detailed pics of yours after you're finished.

With my stock risers on my deluxe its right up on the clamp. That being said I doubt it would work with out a bigger kickback. As for the bar configuration on a heritage and how the fairing would sit with that bracket I do not have the foggiest idea

My fairing was delivered yesterday, but since I'm in Virginia this week for work I won't see it until saturday.

I hope it's all everyone says, I'm stoked.
