Great video. You convinced me to go with reckless for my RK. I will have to paint mine. Thanks for sharing!!
That is excellent-I loved mine…so much, I traded the bike in for. New Gold Wing, but I loved that Reckless fairing. Sold it to another guy and he is enjoying it very much! Thanks Wayne.
Looks good. That's the first aftermarket fairing that I like. Good choice.
Thanks 👍
I appreciate your video. Ordered mine yesterday because of this video. Thanks
Hope you enjoy it! I loved mine on the heritage--makes a huge difference! Thank you very much for watching and commenting!
I said what the heck and went with the one with the BT unit, I love it. Congrats on the new fairing
Thanks, and yeah, I bet the BT is great!
Very nice looking. Great video, by the way. I enjoyed it all the way through. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you very much!
Love this video! You talked me into ordering the exact same thing for my Heritage. Yours sounds awesome like it is turbo charged in the video!
That is outstanding! I loved the reckless fairing…then I bought a GW…it came with one. Thanks again and enjoy it! 😀
Looks great man! I just ordered a batwing with the 4 x 5.25 Rockford Fosgates and pmx-1 deck for my scout. Can't wait to get it on this weekend!
Right on--you're going to like it!
Lookin’ good! I’m still waiting on my 8” recurve windshield from Freedom shields for my fairing. That should solve my small amount of buffeting. Good video.
I must have gotten lucky because it is fine for me...I must be a bit shorter than you. All is good!
Great install. The bike is looking good. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Ray! I appreciate that!
Just ordered my fairing last night for my 2018 heritage classic..can't wait
You are going to love it! Great addition...I loved mine. Did you get the smoke visor or clear?
@@JP1970 smoked
@@ScottandMargieontwowheels good choice! Enjoy it!
Looks great, nice contrast being black, goes nicely with your paint scheme , should be great during the cold months..
So true! Yeah, I like it even more than I thought i would. Thanks again!
Looks great, black is a nice mix with the rest of your bike
Thanks!
I love it. Getting one soon.
Congrats buddy-enjoy!
Interesting, it does look good on your bike with single seating. That bike has many stylish 😎 looks. Beautiful.. You have changed my mind about the fairing kits. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the video. RLTW
Thanks! 👍
Looks great man the more when you can stop the better the ride KeepSafe thumbs up
That's the plan! Thanks MrG! Love your videos...very funny!
I was one of those ppl on the fence prior to watching your video! Good job of selling another Fairing for Reckless. Lol Thank you.
Right on! I think you will love it......I'm planning on having mine wicked red to match my bike--I absolutely love it!
@@JP1970 it looks great just in black but if you paint it to match the bike; that colour will really pop. Good Stuff, thanks again for the great video.
Looks great JP, not a bad price for such a cool upgrade, I agree with Doyle maybe a little stripping to set it off.
Thank you so much!
Nice install. Looks really good on the ride. I definitely like to look over the windshield and not through it in my FXDC. RSMF
Totally agree--thanks buddy!
Nice set up! 👍
Thanks!
Great vid! Have a batwing on my 06, love both looks, batwing and windshield but the clincher is the stereo. Not sure if I’d have a BW without. Looks great though and a beautiful bike, sounds awesome. ✊😊
Good choice! I run a Cardo Freecom 4, so yeah, I agree you gotta have some tunes out there. Thanks and congrats on the batwing. Happy New Year!
Great video, JP1970. Talked me into it... waiting for delivery.
Great! I hope you like it!
I put a Memphis shade bat wing on my 2010 Vulcan nomad 1700 made a huge difference I put the curved shield on mine shot the wind over my head. Looks great had mine painted two tone like yours if I find a pic I’ll send it to you. Great job🤘🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Cool, man! Thanks and I'd love to see a pic. 😜👍
Christmas time.......The black looks okay man it works well with your bike
Thanks Roland..I ordered this like three weeks ago. It's been the summer of motorcycles here lately!
Thanks for sharing. I am not a fan of fairings on the HC but to each is own.
Fair enough! Thanks buddy!
Great video! Waited on one like this. Its way better than the Memphis shade ones and they are like 600 unpainted. I will definitely go with reckless. Still trying to decide if I want a radio or not. And my RK and yours are similar colors, so black would work on my as well. But if I decide on the one you got I might go ahead and get it printed.
Thanks! 😎🤘
Thank you and good luck with it. I am very happy with mine!
Great Video JP . I have been waiting to see one of these. The finish looks great and it looks great on the bike. I had a memphis shades bat wing on my Road king and it was a major improvement. Looks like one of these is in my future! thanks for Showing the way on this.
Randytbird
Right on! I was reluctant for a while because nobody really talks about them, but damn, i am thrilled with it! It looks and improves the bike so much! Love it! 👍🤘👽❤
@@JP1970 im going to order one next month thanks
Randytbird honestly, I think you will like it! Thanks Randy!
That looks really good bro👍
Thanks man...I dig it!
Awesome it was really amazing content
Glad you liked it
I'm looking at a fairing for my 2005 Yamaha RSTD, this might be the brand. Though I'm going to go with the bluetooth + speakers option.
Stock it comes with a full windscreen, which is pretty cool with the quick disconnects for summer riding, but I go on long trips and want the wind protection for longer rides. I'm hoping that I can make it go on and off in a relatively short time if I want to head to the beach on a hot summer day and feel the wind on my chest.
Good choice! I have a Cardo in my helmet, so I just went with the base model...and i'm not made of money. Hahahaha! Great company, excellent product!
Looks good. I thank i would want a red stripe on it
Thanks Doyle!
I also have a Heritage Softail 2020 I love the look of the fairing on your bike and now I'm thinking maybe I should order one, going to look into it and see if they ship to Canada I live in Ontario so I will let you know how it works out, Great video...
Good choice! I enjoyed mine quite a bit. Thanks and good luck!
Very nice but in my opinion you should have gotten one with a stereo system installed. Costs a lot more but will really transform your bike into a real touring machine. Looks good on that beautiful heritage buddy!
Thanks for the tip, but that bike is long gone. Today i ride a 2018 Honda Gold Wing with full fairing and sound system. Oh heck yeah, and my Harley buddies do their best to keep up. 😎
Nice protect the alien 👽
Hahaha! Got to, man! 👍👍
Just put some orange pinstriping on the fairing and it will be great!
I agree, Joe, but traded it for a newer style Gold Wing-wish I could own like 10 bikes. 😀😀
I like it very nice
Thank you so much 😊
Mine is on order. Have you thought about the fairing-mounted mirrors Reckless offers for the fairing, JP? I might give them a shot later because you can take off the handlebar-mounted mirrors and clean things up a bit. Man, the price sure shot up in 2 years. I paid $599 plus $85 to ship. Ouch!
Oh heck yeah-good choice! The price did go up a bit, like everything else. 😀😀 Enjoy that new fairing Mark!
Oh yeah, massive wind protection, time for a road trip!!!
Heck yes--thanks! 👍👍
@@JP1970 Hey Brotha Quick Question... I have Sazuki Blvd c50 many changes done bobber style front & rear fairings, custom 24" Sissy Bar •• I also have 4" risers with drag bars. How would this Reckless Fairing look with drag bars??? Also what style did you get I like the no speakers, looks clean!!! Memphis shades has batwing but with no speakers inside of Fairing looks incomplete!! Yours is Awesome!!! Thanks in advance
@@jasonsanderson9385 Hi there...that Suzuki sounds pretty cool. I have the base model without the speakers...it was $399 plus $75 for shipping. Totally loved it! I have since sold the bike and have the fairing for sale locally...(N.E. Nevada). Thanks for watching, and i think it would look pretty cool with drag bars. My Heritage had mini apes...like 12", but i think it would look great on your bike.
On a more serious note, I love the rear fender bib you have on the Heritage. I would appreciate a link, we can only find them over here for Fatboys or the Softail Deluxe, but I presume they would fit the same?
Keep up making the vids, you come across very well to camera :-)
It's from Mustang...same company that makes my seat. Thanks buddy! 👍👍👍👍👍
Absolutely love the badging on the tank, over the original silver streak with the HD circle. Did you have that done custom somewhere? Very curious!
Thanks Chris...honestly, they are just stickers. I bought them here: shop.vinylines.com/thick-bar-and-shield-outline-decal/#.YD48y11udhE
do you know if the inside is braced or reinforced. are the metal brackets pretty sturdy and connected the fairing well?
The brackets are super strong, and other than having to add a few washers to tighten the gap up, it was a breeze of an installation--definitely recommend!
After my 2019 Slim (with a windshield) the 2020 Electra Glide (with the Bat wing fairing} is the best thing I have done. It looks great in my humble opinion.
Yes indeed! I really like it. Thanks Bob!
Thank you for the great video, impressions on the install and the ride comfort. I am considering a fairing upgrade to my '21 Heritage. I like the stock shield, but do not love it. It comes off easily and I like that, but it's nothing like my '16 RGS with Klock Werks Flare. What's your impression of the stock vs. this Reckless one?
Glad it was helpful! I loved that fairing on my 2019 Heritage, but then I test rode a new Gold Wing, and the rest is history...the improved ride with the Reckless was outstanding! Definitely recommend it!
@@JP1970 Perfect. Thank you!
I just picked up a 2021 Softail Heritage Classic for myself and have been trying to look for solutions to he helmet buffeting I’m getting with the stock windshield. Been looking at different helmets, fork deflectors/lowers and other solutions. Have you had any issues with helmet buffeting with this fairing?
I absolutely loved the Reckless fairing on the Heritage. It made the ride so much better! Definitely recommend the good folks there! Thanks!
By any chance does your wobble around 85-80 with the reckless fairing. Bc I just recently got a joker reckless fairing and mine starts to wobble when it hits that speed. Idk if it’s the fairing
I never noticed any wobble, and i had it up to 90-100 fairly often. Loved that Reckless fairing. Thanks MJ!
Am thinking of one for my 19 Heritage. I'm debating whether to have a stereo. What are your thoughts?
I think you would be very happy with the reckless fairing-great product, nice folks too. Honestly, I prefer speakers in my helmet and Bluetooth to my phone. Cardo 4+ is what I use. Once you get rolling down the highway you won’t be able to hear the speakers in the fairing, but good as gold in the helmets. Hope this helps!
JP like you’re video I’m really interested in you’re reckless fairing you install on the 2019 heritage classic, would you still remember the part number of the fairing I also own the same bike as yours, but ordering from Canada just want to make sure I get the right one. Thx for you’re time
Oh man, that fairing was my favorite addition to my Heritage. It improved the ride so much! All I remember for sure is that it was the basic model, no stereo and I went with the 5 or 6" smoked visor. Money well spent! The folks there were a pleasure to work with too. Thanks and good luck! Let me know how you like it. 😎
Very nice video. I have the same bike, but I have 2 boss speakers on my handlebars between my stock windshield. Do you think they will clear the fairing in space.
I don’t know, I think so-I sold the bike. I bet you could contact the company and they could help advise you. Thanks buddy!
@@JP1970 ..thanks
Does it have a slot in the middle, like the Harley batwings do?
They do--a place to put a radio, if you want.
JP how tall are you..? love your video..explains everything that I want to know about the reckless batwing Fairing. I have a 2018 heritage classic 114. I will get my next week.
I think I'm about 5' 8"....used to be taller but shrinking with age. 😎
I know you’ve sold and moved on, but is this fairing something you can pop on for a long ride, then take off for around town like the windscreen it comes with, or is it a put it on and plan to leave it on situation?
Yes, but I am happy to share what I know…the Reckless fairing was an amazing addition to my Heritage-absolutely loved it. I personally found once I had installed it, I never wanted to take it off. It could certainly be done, not as easily as the stock windshield but easy enough, I suppose. Hope that is helpful. I’m happy to answer any questions I can. Thank you for connecting.
How does it compare to a street glide? Rode a friend's Ultra this last weekend and I'm almost sold, but won't be able to pick one up till maybe next year, so now I'm heavily considering a batwing fairing for my Fatboy
Honestly, my favorite Harley is the street glide, and the Heritage with the batwing fairing comes close. I'm not sure how it would be on a FatBoy, but it would be great to hear what you decide to do...keep me posted!
Hi JP1970... Do you know approximately how the package weighs with the fairing in it?
and also approximate dimension of the box?
I’m sorry but the bike is long gone-sold the fairing separately. It weighs like maybe 7kbs…pretty light. Hope that helps! 😀
JP how does it affect the handling and weight of the front end? I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't fit the mounts without having to remove and replace washers and spacers. But overall I'm still considering one for mine. Turn it into a Hariglide.
Angel Gould yeah, the install wasn’t bad at all-I love it, but you do ha e a tad more resistance but again not bad at all. It looks great! And the wind protection is impressive.
Hi JP, I have 2020 with the Egg windshield as I call it lol. It got major wind buffeting across the top of my Helmet. Did you original Heritage fearing do that and does the Batwing eliminate that??
Hi…I would have to say that I never had any problems with buffering. Could be because I’m only. 5’ 9”. I just preferred the look and full coverage of the batwing fairing…so much so that I no longer have the bike. Haha-loved it but bought a Honda Gold wing. Thanks very much for watching and commenting..
@@JP1970 thanks for the speedy reply! So for as the batwing you had no wind issues? I’m 5’9 as well. I see your Honda why did you switch.
Nice video JP.. I love it, the fairing looks great! I have a 2020 heritage classic V107 and one of the reasons I bought the bike is because it comes from the HD factory as a 2in1 bike. Remove the saddlebags, remove the rear seat, remove the windshield and in less than 5 minutes the bike turned from touring to a street cruiser. Now, add a Fairing and you have another nice new look. Too bad the fairing doesn't snap on/off the way the windshield does but I understand why it needs fasteners.
Do they make this fairing with an installed stereo system?
Hi Tony....congrats on the 2020...great bike and you bet she strips down easily enough. Reckless does sell them with a stereo, but I use a cardo and am happy with that set up. Can't go wrong with the heritage! Thanks fpr watching and commenting!
@@JP1970 In regards to stereo/music, What's a Cardo?
@@tonyj8947 one of these www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/cardo-freecom-4-plus-headset?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIp8rK66f16wIVFBvnCh0zmAq_EAQYASABEgKFWfD_BwE
@@JP1970 Thanks for the response. I like the Cardo. That might be the way to go for me
Tony J I really like it, and you can take phone calls on it.
I new to the channel, and pretty late to your original post, but could you tell me what the head buffeting is like on the interstate? The fairing on my Fatboy is just awful. So bad in fact, that I completely removed it. I want to take some long trips and I need another fairing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Looks good but what about the buffeting effect ?
I mean, that is what I feel when I ride my bike with the original windshield...it'like having a hurricane around my head!
I experienced zero buffeting with the Reckless fairing--granted I'm only like 5' 8", so that could be part of it. I loved that fairing! I now ride a 2018 Gold Wing, but I definitely recommend Reckless!
@@JP1970 I'm 5' 8" too . So I think it's good for me . Thank you very much JP!
Nice looking. How is it at freeway speed?
It's good...my favorite addition to the Hritage by far. I just sold the bike, and the fairing is going up for sale. I'll ship it!
Maybe have pinstripes in your red color put on it. 😎😎
That would look cool!
Almost traded in my 18 FLHC on a Street glide today for long road trips until someone mentioned this video.. how is the buffeting on the full face helmet at say 80-90mph? that's my huge concern living out west. $299 sound a lot better than $30,000 for the glide.
There is no buffeting whatsoever! I love the Reckless fairing--I'm 5'9" so if you are taller you may notice some....I'm not sure.
@@JP1970 Thank you. I literally just saw your canyon video. Thank you sir! I think you saved me from going the full Street glide route. Now.. what other mods can I steal off your bike?! haha!
Looks good. How effective is it at 70 - 80 mph?
Heck that fairing was my favorite addition to the Heritage, but that bike is gone now. Thanks for stopping by. 😄
Nice video. I have the same bike. What kind of seat is that?
Congrats! That is a Mustang seat, but I don't have the bike anymore--I ride a Gold Wing and a Ducati Scrambler now. Check out Corbin seats--they rock! Thanks for watching and commenting!
nice one! its fist to 07 honda vtx1800t ?
Yes they do: www.recklessmotorcycles.com/vtx1800.html
I had to redrill the holes in the brackets because it looked tilted too forward
That is a bummer! Mine hooked right up, no problem! It was great from the word go!
Just curious how tall are you? I’m trying to decide if I should go with the 5 inch or higher windshield. I am 5’11.
I'm 5'9" and the 5-6" standard height was perfect for me. Thanks and enjoy it!
@@JP1970 Thank You!! Keep those videos coming!! 👍🏼
Do they provide the extra washers?
No, I had to go to the hardware store..not a big deal. Easy fix!
I like it and its very beautiful without the Bags. The only thing I do not like are the stock pipe that looks very uneven length.
Fair enough! Those the Vance and Hines slip ons. Bike is gone now. I enjoyed it while I had it, though.
@@JP1970 what did you replaced it with? Or you are done riding.
@@rolandjosef7961 I guess you didn’t look at my other vids…I have a 2018 Gold Wing and a 2022 KLR…not done riding! 😎😎
@@JP1970 hahah... i'll subscribe now!
@@rolandjosef7961 thanks! I appreciate that!
The windshield 5 or 10 inches?
GYORGY LAKATOS 5 inches and it comes in clear or smoked grey like I have.
Just ordered mine! Thanks for the full review! Did they give you a three month wait period? Or did it arrive way before the expected date?
Outstanding, Cory--mine came in about 3-4 weeks, I think. Loved it!
@@JP1970 thanks for the reply! It’s showing on my invoice that I got in an email it’s shipping date will be on 8-13-21. I ordered yesterday. Maybe it will come in within the next few weeks! Once again thanks for the info! Liked and subscribed!
Thanks and enjoy! I have since traded in my Heritage, but that fairing was the best mod I ever did to that bike. Thanks again!!!! 😊😊
@@coreyladd6991 I ordered mine in May and the invoice they sent me showed a ship date of 7-30-21. It was shipped out two days ago so I’d assume since your ship date is 2 weeks after mine, yours should be shipping soon.
@@jackripper6033 thanks for the info! I ordered mine on 5-30-21 so yeah maybe mine will ship soon as well
Will it fit a 2018 heritage
Sorry Michael-not sure…give the good folks at Reckless a call! They will get you fixed up man! Thanks!
Will Do Safe Riding Brother!
Does it have places for stereo and speakers 😎😎
No, Ron, I have a Cardo comm system in my helmet and didn't want the extra weight. Thanks! 👍👍
JP1970 what does it weight. I know the batwing fairing on my Ultra Ltd is about 30 pounds. I would think that’s at least half that. 😎😎
theChestnutMtnTinman definitely less...I would guess about 7lbs. Super light
JP1970 Wow, that is lite. 😎😎
How is it 70-80mph? 🤷♂️
It was great! I absolutely loved that fairing on my Heritage. Now both are gone, and I replaced it with a 2018 Gold Wing. Love it even more! Thanks for stopping by, bud.
Great video! I am interested in buying your fairing, if you still have it and still want to sell it. I emailed the address you have on your About page last night, not sure if it's the one you are currently checking. It would need to be shipped. Thanks!
Cool man! I need to update that email-try me at jasonpaynemac@gmail.com
Hi JP1970. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder............if that's the case, get yourself to the opticians! Up to now I have liked your videos. You (up to now) obviously love your bikes and the mods to the Heritage you've done have been subtle and tasteful. But JEEEZ! This monstrosity??! What were you thinking? There is an expression here in the UK (and probably the U.S. as well) that "less is more".....You have just put a wheelie bin over Christie Brinkley's head! Send it back, get your money back and give yourself a good talking to! :-)
Hahaha! I love it! Thanks Simon! 👍👍👍
I actually think is the nicest addition to his bike, so far. Right behind the logo decals!
@@VVoltz I give up.......no accounting for taste.
I’m glad you like it, and I’m glad you can remove it easily :) I’m with Simon Hickey on this-the fairing deletes the classic lines that make it look so good. I have a 2018 Deluxe and ride it stripped down, with only the swing-arm bag because i love the classic look (like Simon says, less is more), but i have the bags and windshield for long trips. Regardless, I love your bike and videos. Well its been 30 minutes since I’ve seen my bike so I’m heading to my garage to stare at it for few hours before i go to sleep :) Now, go take that fairing off and slaps some white walls on that thing! Cheers!
Bryon Martin the Deluxe is such a classy bike!
Hi JP I would like to send you neat accessory for your bike to review. Any chance you can let me know how I can connect with you? Can you provide your email or any other way to connect so I can provide more details?

Take that crap off the bike!
Hahaha! Did wonders for the ride experience, but I just upgraded to a Gold Wing-thanks for watching and commenting.
Looks ugly,looks like a copy of Electra Glide.
You destroy the style of Heritage Softail!
