Reckless motorcycle fairings w/VBA discount - Page 12

jp58 · 05-12-2012, 12:48 AM

I ordered a Reckless fairing tuesday. Got it with the ipod stereo and the four 5" speakers. Will fit it and test ride it before it gos in for paint. They told me 3 weeks. This is for my 1700 Nomad.

Finally got it straightened out. Took way too long, but happy with the fairing.

Here's some pics of my 1700 Nomad Reckless fairing. Love the looks and sound. Will take in for paint in a couple of weeks.

Nice!

was talking to Reckless today the mounts for a 1700 are a little different he said to tell everyone that the 1700 mounts are as follows the lower mount bolts on the inside the upper bolts on the outside do not know if anyone had any problems mounting them but this is what I was told today

The way they made the brackets. The lowers are on the inside of the brackets hideing the chrome. The lowers will fit on the out side like they should if you cut off about a 1/4 inch of the bracket. Then the curve part of the chrome lower bracket will fit. Then you will hardly see the Reckless brackets. Will do that when i take it in for paint. Will take pics of the before and after.

So is the reckless discount 10% or 15%? Ive been told both. And what is the coupon code?

dewey405 · 06-25-2012, 03:15 PM

10% and there is no coupon code, you email them with a copy of your VBA certificate a what you want (I built it in their online shopping cart and then emailed them exactly the way the art described it). At that point if it is early enough they will call you that day to wrk out the details and do a Credit card purchase over the phone. I would HIGHLY recommend you ask for them to email you a receipt and contact you when it is shipped. I called them today to find out it shipped Friday....I have to be there to sign for it so if my wife wasn't home today to sign for it I would have to drive out 40 minutes to pick it up since I didn't get a heads up for planning.

Does the gel coat wax up well or would it need to be repainted black to look proper?

dewey405 · 08-09-2012, 05:51 PM

It seems to be good enough, I did not wax it but I spray polished it and it looked great

beezer · 08-10-2012, 09:19 AM

Thanks.

I bought a tourpak for my 2007 Nomad and it had a black gelcoat finish. I thought it would look okay with my black Nomad. It didn't. I ended up having it painted HD vivid black. The gelcoat had a dull sheen to it, even when waxed and buffed. I can't speak for the finish on the Reckless fairings since I've never seen their gelcoat.
