Radio housing
Did anyone make a radio housing like the cycle sounds for the 81 gl1100 interstate fairings?

Not for many years. E-bay would be where to look and find.

Re: Radio housing
My radio on my GL1100 didn't work when I bought the bike and was told it was way to to expensive to repair.
I had my friend make me a custom stainless plate to cover the existing place the radio was and then I added a
12 volt lighter and a USB port unit installed. It looks good and also charges my phone.
Blue tooth is way better inside the helmet.
Hope this helps

Re: Radio housing
Haven't done much to it in the past couple of weeks due to a hand injury. I will let you know.

Re: Radio housing
I have tried (my radio,CB and intercom)not working I'ts way to expensive to repair so I just got an aftermarket bluetooth helmut unit off ebay that clips to the side of the helmut and a handle bar mount for my cell phone. I took the factory radio out and I made a stainless steel plate (you can make out of anything) and I mounted a usb port and a 12 volt source there

Re: Radio housing
Not sure how similar the fairings are but I mounted an aftermarket radio in the clutch side compartment.
Re: Radio housing
Thanks. That's is what I'm going to do.
