Default Fairing Stereo Options
What are options to mount a standard 12volt car stereo in a batwing fairing?
Is there a mounting kit designed to accomodate that style radio? I know the opening "as is" is too large.

My fairing I purchased used has no stereo and want to add a marine style stereo.
Thanks

Try Biketronics.

They should have any and everything you'd want.

Try Hawgwired. I think more clean than biketronics and istallation is very easy

I have a Sony wich sound well, more better than OEM ons

I have a Kenwood deck in my bike. I'm thinking basic DIN type receivers will fit with a face plate.

IMO the hawgwired set up is definately a cleaner install than most of the other ones I have seen.

Meanjean, are you using EG fairing brackets? I ask because the Biketronics and Hawg-wired installation kits are intended for that application.

I just installed a Sony deck with BT kit. It was super easy to install. before I started I got all the tools I thought I was going to need out of my tool box. Turned out it was mostly plug and play except for soldering a few connections and shrink tubing them. Hog tunes looked just as simple, I went with BikeTronics because I could get all of the stuff from Dennis Kirk a little cheaper with free overnight shipping. Either way you go, you will be happy I am sure.

I have used the biketronics kit and have had great success with them, but I also use a arc audio amp and speakers kit to make the speakers perform the way they should perform and sound a lot better than just the chip amp built into the radio
