+ 1. if not the only that is made for a radio.
I have the Hoppe's   smitten  that is very rare and only holds speakers. The Batwing isn't made for a radio but maybe some have modified them. I think those are the only options for fairings on a Tourer.

It doesn't look like Woodys is an option for us anymore boys,, his website suggests he is not making fairings for the Valkyrie.

I would suggest Tsykayu for an audio fairing Shakie,   https://www.tsukayu.com/  they make a good product and the prices have actually come down since I purchased mine.  They can be made to fit the Valkyrie really nice if you make a bracket and move the headlight position.







You do need to relocate the gauges and extend the spedo cable on a Standard or Tourer model. There was someone who was supplying relocation mounts for the gauges, but I cut mine out of an aluminum bar and purchased a 6 inch spedo extention cable fron eBay.

Just as a side note Shakie, the 6x9 Tsukayu audio fairing  

  https://www.tsukayu.com/QuickDetachableFairing.html

 will fit the Valkyrie without relocating the headlight, but I did it to get the fit and placement I wanted, and moved the bracket mounting hardware on the fairing so I could use the Cobra tube mounted spots I had. You don't need to do any of this. Here they show that it fits the 1500 Valkyrie.

https://www.tsukayu.com/ModelCompatibility.html

They supply all mounting hardware, but you still need to relocate the gauges and extend the spedo cable.

I bought my Woody's about a year ago.  One of the things I had to do was relocated headlight and gauges.  Look at the website www.xf6-custom.com.  He makes kits for both, plus you will need a longer speedo cable which I think I got there as well.  To bad Glen is not doing this any longer.  He told me when I was getting mine that he was about done with Valks.  I guess there are not enough out there to make it worth the while.  I love mine.  I bought the radio (Infinity PRV250, Amp and Polk speakers) and had everything shipped to Glen.  He put it all together and made sure it worked.  Great service.

I know that none of this is relevant since he no longer produces the Valk fairing, but hopefully the link to xf6 is helpful.

BTW, I had a Memphis Batwing that was OK with the speakers I had mounted on the bars.  No relocation needed either.  The Woodys' though is a much nicer fairing.

Gool luck.
