question for rk owners with a batwing
1, what wing did you go with to give it a street glide look.
2, I want one with the stereo and speaker cut outs so what did you do about an antenna?

I wanted the same thing. After looking at ALOT of fairings and deciding on a Wide Open fairing. I changed my mind about spending that kind of cash on a stereo and traded the RK for a 15 SGS Problem solved!!!

I used the fairing from craigslist for 50 bucks, just a shell like we had in the good old days when the only music needed or wanted was the sweet singing of old Harley pulling down the road at a hefty 60mph.
I love it whatever brand it is. Cheap and serviceable I shall name it !!

I have been very pleased with the construction,appearance and durability of my Woody's fairing. Many on this forum have said that once you install a good bat wing you will leave it on the bike. As far as I can see, with three other friends that have also added fairings, that unlike the windshield ... it is true. Mine is almost never taken off.

I just added a Reckless Fairing to my RK. I made an offer on one of their Ebay sales back around Christmas for a basic fairing with no stereo or speakers and my bid was accepted. I already had a stereo. speakers, mount, and cover, and "UNFORTUNATELY" I purchased a "powered/amplified" hidden antenna and it TOTALLY SUCKS. The reception - well, there isn't any!!! I mostly use Pandora via Bluetooth from my phone or a thumb drive anyway so I'm not going to make any changes right now with the antenna. With the fairing, paint, antenna, wiring, connectors, etc. I have $650.00 into my fairing. I just added an LRS 8" recurve W/S (signature pic is prior to this addition) they now make for Reckless Fairings and I am very happy with the results!!! Found Reckless very customer friendly and good to work with.

I've seen some on ebay with the cut outs for $300 shipped but I have to change out the nacelle on my custom. My biggest issue now is getting the glacier white pearl paint. I've been quoted $300-800 so far to paint it. The reckless is around $1100 painted on there site and didn't want to sink that much into it.

I have the Hoppe 5566, everything you need and plug and play. If you watch JP cycles scratch and dent you can find a great deal. Mine the inside of the quick detach brackets were scratched. The price was 1000.00 (600. to 800. off going price) but is top notch.
