Default Reckless Fairing buying question

I'm down Delmarva bike week and they have Reckless Fairing here. They have them complete with marine Infinity stereos, 5" windshields,and Polk marine speakers. I was looking at the one with the two 6x9 speakers. They are $860 installed. I have not shopped around so I'm not sure if thats a good price. What do you think?

I purchased one 5 months ago with the 6x9 cut outs and installed a better system with a marine cover for about that price.

I just ordered their fairing without any electronics. You can shop around and find far better prices on stereo equipment.

Look them up the last day of the event when they have to pack their un-sold chit up to leave and throw an offer their way

Quality sometimes costs a little skin.
I am pleased with my Reckless XL Fairing, cost more than that finished in two tone root beer with the stereo, speakers and two shields.
It is a well made unit.
I bought mine last year, and they told me they had bike lowers on the drawing board to start making them also. Have you seen them, or know anything about them? Thought they might have them by now, maybe showing them off...

My wife said to sleep on it, and if I still wanted it to buy it tomorrow. I don't know much about stereo equipment. I saw Infinity and Polk and thought they were decent. It also has a 12v outlet, hidden antenna, usb, and audio in (ipod) plug. The stereo is the Infinity PRV250.

They did not have the lowers, just the fairings.

Reckless usually has fairings listed on Ebay, without stereo/speakers, for $350.00 in black gelcoat.
