Actually there are 1" 15 degree tweeters in the 5 1/4 inch speakers on the outside. Thats why the cross over units on top of the stereo retaining bar. As for the brackets I have already placed 2 small modified L brackets on the OEM brackets that many have shown as broken. A couple of other mods I made were, the Clarion M475 Marine Stereo that came on the fairing, is Cnet capatible for IPODs so I purchased the direct IPOD unit, so to be able to charge and control from the head unit. The stereo face was not to my liking, so I just purchased a pyle retractable 1 din WP cover. It should dress up where the head unit is, and hide it from on lookers. Not that a real theif would have any issue figuring out how to remove the face.
I,m not sure, I would have wanted to take on this project from scratch, but most all of the componants were installed when I puchased it. Best part was saving nearly 1K on the deal.
Thank you for the compliments, I have admired your ride as well, and your input on RK fairings when I was doing my research.

I went with Dead Center simply because I can lock it to the bike and when the bars are locked you cannot access the fairing lock. Seemed a good idea aftea after spending a lot on the fairing and thinking someone could walk off with it in less than a minute. I had it painted but I have heard their painters do an excellent job and the audio system is first rate. The company customer serviceistop shelf and I can tell you where you can buy it from a Dead Center dealer for 20% off if you'tr interested. All Harley accessories including windshields, trim, bras etc will fit this fairing. I got about $1600 in the fairing w/ paint and audio

I may eventually buy an ultra, but right now i,m really lovin, modifying my RK. I am not a fan of tourpacks, and I ride solo about 70% of time (Wife decided 2 years ago, it was more fun riding her own) When we do ride 2 up and take longer trips, I pop on the passanger pillion, backrest andI have a great riggs pak, that holds 3 days worth of clothing for 2. Plus I really love the classic bags, and classic wide white walls.

Thank you too, Superglide and guys. That looks like a great choice also. There are so many choices and it makes it hard to decide. I really appreciate the link.

here is the thread with the guy who has the firebagger fairing. haggor the horrible. scan down the thread and you will see the pics of his before paitn and stereo. I almost went with it, but ended up with a great deal on a UC Fairing, that already had the stereo and speakers in it.
good luck
