Default No radio fairing, not what I wanted

The company sure is proud of its new fairing with no radio. I must admit that is what I asked for.
However...
I wanted a clean looking fairing, and I have no use for a radio.
What they offer is a fairing that looks like someone stole the stereo system. Ugly in my book.
Nice try, Harley. But no stereo (for me) does not mean a hole where you can put a stereo.
Rant over. I realize I am in a minority. My last five or six bikes have had a stereo, just did not use it.

Ride on.

Knowing HD they'll be an optional piece that goes there to dress it up. They even took out the little button to control the fairing vent.

I agree with you, but you can be sure someone will come out with something to cover it.

It is the glove box bin from a police unit. Anything else would need to be tooled up and cost more. Try some black duct tape...

Harley will be happy to sell you their stereo for two grand or more.
Better units are available from the aftermarket.

I do understand the logic of a cheaper stock motorcycle price, and you pick the upgrade without paying for stock stereo.
We are on to something here.

Hey Company! Please offer a model without any exhaust system or air cleaner.
So we do not have to throw away the stock stuff.

Does look odd. When I asked about the "speakers" I was told they were fake.
