No Amp. Not needed unless you want it to be crazy loud! i can hear it just fine at 70+ MPH

My pipes are pretty load at 70+ mph and keep getting loader!
I'm running Rinehart Crossback pipes! what pipes are you using? just trying to get a db comparison!

As mentioned earlier,  my faring is getting painted.   I bought it from the same place as ksbowhunters did.   Before I make a recommendation on a product,  if feel that I need to give a trial.  There will be considerable work required to get it mounted, mostly with relocating the turn signals.  I have high expectations.

Here is a link to the gallery of wide open with the Conv.

Thanks to all who like it! Im running the Vance & Hines Pro Pipe. But if i can find the people to buy the kit to install hard bags i may have to change pipes. would like to just extend current pipe to back of bags if possible or just put a down pipe on it so it looks cleaner.... havent decided yet

How do you find the handling difference between the Batwing and Stock Fairing?

How do you find the handling difference between the Batwing and Stock Fairing?

I bought my 2010 Conv. while stationed in FT Hood, bike was in Chicago. So i didnt get to test ride it before i bought it. If i would have i wouldnt have bought it! Had it shipped home and put in garage till i got home on R&R which was 4 months. First trip me and the wife took on it was HORRIBLE!! That tiny little fairing did absolutly nothing!! The wind beat us to death! When we got home i was soooooo unhappy with my purchase. i spent next several months while on deployment searching and searching to find a fairing. Found company, called them and bought it! It catches turbulence if following behind other vehicles or of there is a high wind, but no different than a street glide! i have pushed 30-40mph wind gusts with it and have been extremely happy! the wife can ride in back and not be beaten to death, she is verry happy with it too! Hope this helps!

Hey KSBowhunter,

How tall are you? I had one put on and could barely see over the top of the fairing. With the convertible sitting only 23 1/2" from the ground it's more difficult to see over the fairing.

[Ksbowhunters73]

I am less than 5'7" tall (considered a midget in some countries) and i can see over it just fine.

What was the total cost (excluding Paint) and what options did you go for as far as Audio was concerned?

Here is a link to wideopen fairings.    http://www.wideopencustom.com/p-120-harley-davidson-cvo-convertible.aspx

They just got this NEW site up recently and has KSBowhunter's bike in the pictures for the convertible.   The cost is around + or - $1000 with the extras needed and stereo upgrades, plus shipping.

I have mine back from the painters and have just finished installing the stereo and putting it together.   Really pleased with the paint job. Next week I will get it mounted,  getting help with turn signal relocation, and will get to test it out.   If it works as good as it looks I will have a big smile.   

Will post pictures and comments next week.

What year Convertible do you have? i was under the impresion you didn't have to relocate the turn signals on the 2012?

[ozarke]

2010 signals are on the bars.

2010 signals are on the bars.

So i should be ok with the 2012?

[RCFlyer]

2010 & 2011 turn signals are mounted on the mirrors.  2012 are mounted on the fork tubes lower tree.  It should be easy to re-locate.  I was thinking of doing it anyway.  Looks nice.  It's cheaper than retrofitting the stock fairing with the factory amp and speakers and I bet it sounds a lot better too.

What size are the speakers?  It looks like it supports 4 speakers.  Also what radios fit?  Is it a standard 1 DIN opening?  Thanks.

I did some checking and it looks like the speakers are 5.25" and it takes a 1 DIN marine radio.  I bet it sounds nice.  Comments??
