Re:New Fairing 4 Years, 4 Months ago  
Hey coachdan I like the fairing, I spotted the site on these about two weeks ago and they looked really nice. Was wondering how long it would be before someone one here would buy one. hopeing to get one for mine in the near future.

Re:New Fairing 4 Years, 4 Months ago  
Hey billjr
The stereo system is a $200 option, so you know it's not going to have alot of power. An amp would help it alot. It sounds pretty good around town, and up to around 55 or so highway. Anymore than that and I can't really hear it, but I can't really hear anything anymore anyway.
I plan on putting speakers in the helmet I use for trips. That should help me to hear it when I travel Interstate.

Very nice people at wide open and the fatring is great. when I took it to my freind to have it painted he was inpressed with the finish, some molds are rough. It turned out flawless. For the money its well worth it.

Re:New Fairing 4 Years, 1 Month ago  
Hey Herm
I have the WOC fairing also. Like Bill said they are good people. I called several times with questions, and they always took time to answer them. I painted mine myself, and it was very easy to prep. I know of several that have bought one for the Road*, and so far everyone is satisfied overall. You just can't beat it for the money.

Re:New Fairing 4 Years, 1 Month ago  
Hello, just to let everyone know if you didn't already know, bagger-style.com and tsukayu.com also offers fairings, check it out. I started looking into "hoppe" first, then I saw these other sites, plus wideopencustom, now I am looking for the best value for my money. I am just going to wait a little longer to see if the competition increases. thanks for everyones input on fairings.
