Default Installing a Radio in a Fairing Link?

I was wondering if there was a good link that could walk me through on how to install a radio set up in an after market fairing. Iv installed radios in my own vehicles b4 but Im looking for something that could also help me on everything that I will need to purchase. I see fairing that come with radios and without. Id like to buy one without to add the radio I want but just don't know where to start
I already used google but didn't get results I was looking for. I thought you guys might be able to help.

there are a lot of videos on youtube on it,i don't want to look any up rite now to post a link sorry. the radio is mounted in the fairing by two screws on each side thru the fairing stays (supports). to put a car stereo in you need a biketronics or hogwired mount. they also have wiring kits so all your stock wiring and bar controls work..i just mounted it and wired to the hot and ground.then added new speaker wires to better speakers

I have a automotive sterio in mine. I didnt bother with the handlebar controls. It was easy to mount with a universal mounting kit and wire. If you have factory speakers, just follow the colors and wire to your new unit. You can and get power and ground from the original radios power supply. The factory radio was damaged when I bought is so rather than spend big bucks, that is what I did. Works for me.
