Sure is nice to be able to hear my tunes at any speed. With the V&H Big Radius ending where it does on the right side of the bike before the saddlebag the exhaust is quite loud. Prior to the install the stereo was little more than noise with the stock speakers and no wonder with such a small magnet. This went into my Road Glide so being able to find a setup is not as simple as a batwing fairing. So kudos to J&M for a fine product!!!!
