Planning on it with my son Ryan coming too on his Stryker. Dylan is not able to take off from work though.

Added LED bulbs to the dash gauges, no more squinting!

Also replaced my failing radio with an inexpensive marine am/fm/wb radio.



Got the bulbs from www.flipflopled.com

Speedo takes 2 T53 bayonet style bulb replacements and tach takes 2 194 style push base bulbs. These were about $4-5 each

The VDO gauges also take the 194 style.

Yeah but the Cycle Sound still sucks - I may just pull the whole mess off - is there a better alternative?

Actually John, that housing mounted there supports the fairing structure and keeps it from fracturing on the backside just off centerline. I knows it is thick material there, but have seen a couple now that have fracturered in these locations. 3Phase's is one of them. Not sure if that would apply to the WindJammer models, but that which I referred to pertains to the style that's on that Venturer, mine, Scotts, etc. Just something to consider.

I had one on the Windjammer V I have on my bike now and I removed it. It wasn't part of the fairing structure itself, just an add on.

Got one on my Venturer with a cheapy Pyle AM/FM/SD/USB which doesn't sound too bad.

I did end up buying a Scala Rider Q3 headset for the helmet which I use a lot for calls & playin music or streaming XMradio off the net.

My Pyle marine radio was cheap and sounds just like yours Richard - unfortunately marine did not save it from the rains this past week - went to turn it on and its dead.

Get what you pay for!

Hey on the plus side it doesn't sound bad anymore - it just doesn't sound at all

Back to my initial point, the fairing IS more structurally sound with housing mounted, which it is on both ends acting as a gusset support for the span distance between top ends of fairing.....ain't rocket science.
