Reckless Fairing 6x9 Available NOW
I talked to Alex today to check on my fairing and a trunk. He told me that the Fairing with the 6x9 Speakers is NOW ready for the Nomad as well as the 6" round. Pics will be on his site by next week,,But should be in the tool bar..
ALSO he will soon be trying a Custom style fairing. Not so Harley like, He said EVERYONE has a Bat Wing,, He want have more to offer... Also we talked about trunks. I will shoot a few pics of my trunk ::) with the size and it can be modified to a digger size. also told him to look at the Voyager trunk as well as the Royal Star.. SO we may have some more options.. Alex sounds like a GREAT guy,, VERY friendly and LOOKING outside the box and will listen to your ideas WIN WIN .......My Fairing will be here tomorrow

You should be able to get some nice sound from the 6x9s I wonder if it will look as good as the 6" round inner fairings.

Steve I like the looks of the 6x9 better,but thought it would be longer before he got them out. I got the 4 5" speakers.. BUT may put larger in if possible,,,,,,Ill know more tomorrow
Off to paint soon so It should be ready for NY.. Maybe no music but will be painted..I hope

I was waiting for the 2-speaker version, but frankly with the talk I've heard of the gap at the base of the windshield and the large gap around the headlight, I may go with another brand. Yes, I am very picky.

Centering the headlight is a simple fix, If the rest of the fairing is as good as they say, it sounds like a real good bang for the buck.

are ya'll sharing your initial thoughts with Reckless??? Sounds like they need to adjust the headlight gap, and something with the alignment...should be minor tweaks for them??

Reckless Fairing 6x9 Available NOW
After measuring mine from the test fit Im about 1/2". so a tweak of 1/4" mine will be fine,, I am going to make 2 new brackets and tweak them. Also waiting on Alex for a reply. IMO. I am asuming it is a Inner Fairing glitch.. maybe from the mold or curing. BUT this is one nice fairing for the Buck. :) Nice primed finished,, fairly sturdy,, about 15/20 lbs.. I also assume he cuts his own windshields.. IMO. they look good. Im going to try my buddies Ultra windshield on it,Its 12" .BUT Im sure I wll stay with the 8". at 6ft 3 it is about chin level so I can easily look over it.. My 3 pouch windshield bag will be here soon, Damn Nomad is costing me more$$$$ LOL

Do you think Alex at Reckless is going to address the gap around the headlight area or do you suppose his forms a pretty much set the way they are? If a little tweaking on the mount can close the gap, I don't really see a big problem.

Radco, You mentioned talking about trunks with Alex. If he was interested in doing brand specific trunks, it seems to me one shaped to compliment the style of the Nomad bags would be popular.
