Trying to determine what stereo system and fairing to get for the freewheeler, Quadzilla, Reckless, Vector, or some other. I have not seen any of them close up. I miss my radio, and advise out there?

I have a Reckless on my Heritage with the full stereo/amp setup and other than price have no complaints.
My complaint in price is not specifically a Reckless complaint as I feel all options are expensive.
I thought about putting the fairing on the Freewheeler but decided to move to a full helmet last year and added a Sena system to it so I now listen to tunes that way.
Since going with the Sena, I rarely turn on the stereo on my Heritage any more and if I was to do it again I would just purchase the fairing without the stereo.
Hi Larry! Welcome to Trike Talk! I saw a lady rider with a fairing on her Freewheeler. DK what brand it was but it looked good!

Freewheeler Fairing
Highly recommend Stealth Fairings. Hand laid fibreglass for under 400 incl shipping in various configurations. You will need to remove the OEM front turn signals and brackets. I also added a road king light bar. PS: the front end on a FLRT is a roadking.

Have you got any pics with one on a bike?
Here's mine
Does anyone have any pictures how these fairings mount to the bike? Any that use the standard Freewheeler points?
DW doesn't want a radio or anything else in the fairing.

Every one I've seen, including my Memphis Shades Batwing Fairing, utilize the factory HD mounting points, but you may have to unbolt the 4 acorn nuts and replace the round, grooved washers with the ones that come with the fairing. That's how mine worked anyway. No big deal, they come right off.
... and does the fairing cut down on the turbulence considerably?
Should have said "over just a windshield"?
Mine does, but I'm not sure what your expecting. It takes the pressure off you body so your not exhausted after a 7 hour trek. It does not keep you from feeling any wind at all. The only thing that does that is being in a cage.
I agree 100% with this. I still get a fair amount of air coming up around the tank, which I appreciate on these hot summer days. At the same time it blocks more than enough air to extend my riding season when the cold weather comes.

My buddy installed a factory Street Glide fair onto his freewheeler .what he thought wouldn't be a big deal turned into a fairly large undertaking. Had to fabricate custom brackets , first he got a set of tri Glide trees thinking that would work, nope they are different than street Glide trees. And they are even different than Freewheeler trees, but the finished product is one beautiful freewheeler. I will have him send me some pictures of it tonight.
What are these "trees" your referring to?
The trees (triple trees) attach the front fork tubes to the frame…

That's what I was thinking, but couldn't imagine anyone going through the chore of swapping triple trees just to put a fairing on when there are so many fairings available made to fit.
