I dont think it would fit with the T/S on the bars. Even if it fit it would cover the T/S

Keno...I picked up the dragonflyconcepts fairing...and it can have a radio installed...wish the pics were better but here it is on my deluxe...Kenwood AM/FM radio with CD/USB and 6x9 speakers. I had the fairing painted to match my pearl white/cobalt blue scheme. Might be hard to tell from the pics, but the inside of the fairing is cobalt blue, not black.

Default Memphis Shades

Smorgan,
You would have to get a turn signal relocation kit to mount a fairing if your turns are mounted on your handle bars. And possibly with some of the models that have them mounted up close to the side of the front end. If you need an inner fairing & radio & couldn't live with a i-pod setup the Dragon fly and several others are a nice setup & look great. Down side is they are $6oo.00 w/o a radio & up to $1400.00ish. If you could live with no inner fairing, no radio or an i-pod setup the Memphis Shades is a good bang for the buck. You can get them off of e-bay with the quick disconect mounts, fairing, windshield for $329.99 to your door (minus the turn signal relocation kit) from bk-rider. I would just do a search on ebay as the prices seem to be comming down. I would suggest the 9" windshield & if later you wanted a shorter one you could order one as they are cheaper than the 9". You get your choice of windshields from bk-rider when you order the fairing.

Snow1989,
Your set up looks great. How much did it set you back including the Kenwood?
Thanks,

The Slotted Stainlesss Trim was $ 39.00 and the Pouches were $ 69.00.

Memphis Shades also makes a Chrome Trim that is pointed on the ends and covers the windshield mounting bolts. I went with the Slotted because I liked the look better and I like the way it matched up on the ends. The pouches are made by Saddleman for Memphis Shades and close with velcro.

Ditto that. Got the lowers. The batwing fairing works great, and even better with the lowers. With the lowers I just get wind around my shins. There is also less movement transmitted to the handlebars.

Thanks,
I admit it's pricey....complete it was $2600, but it's what I wanted and I just decided I wouldn't settle for something else. The Kenwood is AM/FM, CD, USB and has IPOD and Aux ports. It also has bluetooth capability and is a marine unit so some wet weather won't end the tunes. I also had the power plug installed to run my GPS on long trips. Speakers are 6x9 Kenwoods. They matched my paint perfectly down to the pinstriping. I didn't need to do any mods to lights or sheet metal. It's on and off in 5 minutes and I just tuck the power plug back down and I'm 'in the wind' again. I had great customer service and they reverified everything before doing it.
