With a 104 mile daily commute, I had to add some tunes. It is a Boss Audio system and the "3 inch" speakers didn't look near as big in the online pictures. I started with two on the bars and two on the crash bars, which couldn't be heard. Then I moved the lowers up and adjusted them all. The sound quality is great and is loud enough for 70+ on the interstate.

First Install:


Moved Speakers:


Also, picked up a new derby cover at bike week in OBX a few weeks ago.

The next mod in debate is moving up to some apes. I was originally thinking about 18" as I an 6' tall, but recently have been leaning towards 16's.

Thanks for the heads up. I figured they would enlarge when clicked on and didn't even try them. Bigger pic inserted.

Dropping it off tomorrow to have a buddy install my apes for me...I'd do it but just no time...gotta work tomorrow....and Sunday is ride day.....

I bought the HD bars brand new on eBay for a fraction of the cost from the dealer...I think the bars are actually 14s with 2 1/2" risers......the cables were much more....I spent a total of around $600.00, cables being the majority of that....and had to get them from Magnum because no one else made the ABS kit......
