Stereo Speakers are just standard Shark Marine Speakers from Ebay.
I've blown some on other bikes but these are doing fine so far.
Sound just as good as $200-300 ones.
I am using a DWG Amp because it is small enough to fit in the Headlight Bucket. Supposed to be 75 Watt per speaker. DWG-MSY-2050A
I also have a 650 Watt Shark Amp (really doubt it does more than the usual 50-75 Watt Output) but it is too big.
I velcroed and zip tied it to the fork tubes inside the bucket.
The Wireless Remote I attached with Velcro and a zip tie to my left clutch handle housing, so I turn it on and off, and adjust volume with my finger while I'm still holding handle bars.
I put an Ipod mount on the other side of the left speaker so I do have to touch it to skip songs.
The chrome handle bar mounts are expensive $50, from Shark, but look better than mounting them off the mirrors.




If these don't work out I guess I'll get the Amp/Speaker combo kind.

How's the new shield working for you? Did it lessen the underflow?

How about showing it stripped down? That's what I'm most interested in. I want to see it naked!!

The Klock Werks windshield is a very different feel, but as I stated somewhere else, it's larger, wider, and closer to the headlight than OEM, so it could just be the size.

Definitely less turbulence coming through at high speeds. Not sure if it's the "flair" or the size difference.

I do feel more drag pushing down on the front end which does seem more stable at 80+ mph.

Looks cool with the curves, but I still get good airflow to my face and body. Being larger than OEM I now look through the top of the windshield instead of over it. It doesn't matter, I've ridden both ways.

As for stripping it down, it might look kind of dumb without the windshield now that I put speakers on it. Maybe I'll post pics stripped down and also with just the windshield.

I've heard people mention excessive vibrations perhaps due to the large, long, heavy muffler on the FLD. Did you notice any difference when you went to the V&H Big Shots?

BTW, your FLD is probably my favorite yet. Looks very clean and correct. Good job..........

There is a service bulletin about the vibration issue. I contacted my dealer and it was confirmed, and has me coming in next week
