The tour pack I brought off ebay for under a $100 I think then I had the painter colour match to the bike along with the pin stripping again. The painting was several times over the cost of the tour pack.
They are speakers in lower fairings check out my write up of the process under the audio section search 'Biketronics Lower Fairings' and it should come up, I just did it then it came up first. The system sounds good, the fairing has Polk 6x9's in it now with a Fusion MS-IP600 headend and a Soundstream Picasso Nano 4.520D amplifier in it.

I just added a fairing to my 2013 Road King. I used all OEM parts. It's not detachable, so you have to commit to turning the bike into a Street Glide/ Electra glide. But if you're good at all with a wrench, you should be able to do it yourself in no time. It took me a while, but I could only work on it sporadically over the winter/spring. Plus I added 14" bars, which was the most time consuming part. I will add pics soon.

It's a shame - if only they'd wanted to talk to me. . .

I bought my 6X9 Reckless fairing in 2011. I purchased it painted, and when received there was an issue with the paint. After a couple calls and e-mailing a few pics they e-mailed a pick-up label and it went back.
I received the fairing back in about two weeks. The paint was perfect, everything looked great. I did re-drill the mounting brackets to make the fairing sit a little lower and tilt back more, just a minor adjustment.
That was 2011 and since then I have had no problems whatsoever with the fairing. I don't know anything about their quality or customer service now, but they took care of me in 2011.

Same thing happened to me but because I waited a week to unwrap it, and the bubble wrap etched into the paint, they made ME pay for a new paint job and shipping both ways. That painted should have been cured when they shipped it. I checked local shops on repainting and got high prices so I was screwed either way and picked the cheapest option on sending it back. Still should not have had to pay for a repaint. They didn't even cut me a break on it which they should of. If they knew the clear was that soft they should have waited to ship it.

ericl love your paint, I sold my JL and put in 2 of the new moto arc 600s to get my 150 per 
OP do you plan on taking it off and on adding a good sound system if so aftermarket if not and you want the stock setup with their gauges. I thought I would ride with it off every now and then when I first bought it, but I only take it off to work on the forks or front end. I think that all that posts here for a aftermarket unit they have will say that is the brand to get. they are all a little different on the inner part speaker size ect. look at what ones you like and think that will work for you now and in the future. There are several here that have done stock hd fairing that are detachable sky is the limit.

When I was shopping for one, 8 years ago, I settled on buying a Dragonfly. Of course, there weren't many options then. I just like the quality and materials they used. ABS plastic, instead of fiberglass. They also had a very user friendly set up on their dash. I really liked the stereo options then, along with 6x9 speakers. I'm sure there are double din touch screen options now, aren't there?

These guys do have the large touch screens and 6x9's

Might be worth a look as well. I really wish, this was my route 6 years ago, instead of selling a paid off, tricked out RK.
