Thanks, I'm loving it so far. The bike seams to ride more stable then with just a windshield.

Damn - that does look hot. I was looking at those last week, and thinking about it. Is it truly convertible? How long does it take to go on and pull off? That's the exact radio package I was considering as well. How does it sound? Clarity? At speed?

It goes on and off really easy. You just losen the 4 acorn nuts and pull off. They send you new garments that are all steel and they replace the rubber ones you had for the windshield. The power cable connects just on the underside and your done. Working up the wiring was also easy. You just run the wires under the tank and back to the battery for pos and neg. And the ignition wire I spliced into the rear wiring harness. It's orange and white wire. It's right under the seat just before it goes back into the fender

As far as sound quality at speed. I've had it up to 80 mph and set the volume to about 36 or 38 and it's clear as can be. I didn't not go with an amp and glad I didn't. It's not needed as far as I'm concerned. The volume will go to 60. But once you hit about 45 your ears will bleed. One thing about the infinity unit I don't like Is that it doesn't have I pod controls. So you would have to use the aux connection and go through your headphone jack to use any type of mp3 player. To get sound that and use the USB connection, I bought a $5 thumb drive and put my music on that like the instructions say to. Works great. If I had it to do again, I would op for the regular side single din head unit with the splash guard. Then if the radio ever does go bad I can buy any kind I wanted to to replace it. But infinity unit has been flawless so far. The polk 6x9's sound great. But if they ever crap out I'll replace them with polk MM series loud speakers with are 2 ohms instead of the 4ohms it comes with.

Very nice! I found that the HD frenched trim ring filled out the area under the fariing nicely. Might even look at the visor trim ring.

I agree. Get the visor style headlamp trim ring. It fill that void you have around the headlamp.

Looks great!!! I love my Reckless fairing.
