Audio system for Road King
I have a 2012 Road King and was wondering what audio system is best for it. Just going to use the handle bar type. I am looking at the Boom Audio from the Harley dealership right now.

See the two big round things at the back of the motorcycle? Under the saddle bags? That's the only system worth a crap on a Harley.

Check this one out. Saw it and heard it this past summer. I know a few who have bought the system and are happy with it.

Can't help you here...never had a desire for a radio on a bike or in a muscle car. To each his own though... I guess I could see the value if you're riding cross country... Will be curious to see what options are out there.

Here is a thread I started earlier this year. UltraNutz chimed in with some good things to say. Check it out, there is some good info on there.

Like I said in the thread I didn't care for the sound quality. The more I listened the less impressed I got. The volume isn't there, and the dynamic sound quality just sucks. Especially for the $400 price tag. UltraNutz suggested I went with the add on system from DD Customs. It is quite a bit pricier around $650 I believe, but it comes with Alpine 6.5" which are pretty good, and a good Alpine amp too. They look good too.

Or you could do bag lid speakers. There are a lot of options for that. Especially if you have hard bags. I seen Hogtunes is now offering saddle bag lid speakers now, looks like a good kit but I'd go with a different brand of speakers. Lots of options.
Here is a picture of how I mounted my Boom audio, the install turned out pretty good. The speaker buckets look really good, but they are still a bit hidden on the crash bars which I wanted.
