Woody's is the best

+ 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.


The most expensive things you will purchase, are those things you would not have needed if you had listened and obeyed.

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.

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

Fazer

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.
