I'm looking at adding a detachable fairing to my RK, for those trips with the wife.
I want something of high quality, color matched inner/outer. No need for any gauges but want the best sound out there right now.
I'm not opposed to saving a few bucks, but cost is really not an issue.
My question to those that have done this and are knowledgable is:
What brand fairing, stereo (mp3 storage capable), amp, speakers would you chose, if money was no object, to have that "ultimate" look and sound?
I really think Dragonfly has the custom look nailed. Here's one of their fairings on one of Paul Yaffee's newest bikes.
There's been quite a bit of chatter regarding fairings recently. Have you looked up the threads? Not much has changed in the last few months.
I have read all the threads and Dragonfly is at the top of my list at the moment. I am curious as to the quality of sound of the stereo packages they offer.
I love my Dead Center. It has a great sound, and I can dial it up for a nice clear tune at 75-80 easily. Their customer service is great, and it's been bullet proof. I also appreciate the lock. That was important to me.
Had dead center for 30k miles with no issues. The only thing I dislike about the dragonfly is that all the radio and wires are exposed to the elements from the bottom of the fairing. The deadcenter one used a cheap piece of plastic to block the radio and electronics from water that might come up from underneath. Have someone post a pic from below the fairing and you'll be able to see what I mean.
