After pondering the Street Glide/ear bud situation I found a very simple solution. I bought a 6 foot long mini-plug extension at Fry's for $3.99. I then cut off the male plug, stripped the insulation back a couple of inches revealing a red wire and a white wire and a ground shield wire. I gathered the ground wire by twisting it together. I soldered a couple of feet of small diameter wire to the white wire. Then I removed the hot wire from the right speaker (does not matter which side) and put the red wire through the small hole in the spade connection and slid the connector back on the speaker spade. I did the same for the ground wire. Then I ran the added wire over to the left speaker and inserted it in the spade under the hot wire for the speaker. Then I ran the mini extension wire through a couple of wiring keepers and back under the top of the gas tank bib coming out just ahead of the seat. Neat, easy, cheap, non-invasive and it works.

 

your a frickn genius. i was a radio shack yesterday trying to figure it out . walk out po'ed


on my way to best buys

 

I did Texas Fat Boy's mod. Works like a charm and it's in my price range.

 

+1 on the Texas Fat Boy mod with one change. I would add an interrupter/cutoff switch at the speaker wire connection so the speakers cut off when the ear phones are connected

 

I did mine very similar to Texas Fat Boy except I used the aux switch to turn the headphone jack on and off. I was getting terrible feedback when the volume was up without headphones plugged in. Sounded awful with the volume up...I've got Boom speakers so that may have played a roll.

4 relays and a few feet of wire solved it.

 

Deleted for stupidity - mine, specifically. Others have given the correct info.

 

There is a company called Plug Up, the make a 7 pin adapter that will take a mini plug from the headphones. Plug into the adapter & the adapter into the consloe plug, voila, music.

 

Not much help, but I'm thinking of adding mini headphone jack for some ear buds to my set up. I have a Kenwood head unit using the RCA outputs to the amp, so the speaker wires out of the head unit are unused. Was thinking of putting a resistor on the head speaker wires to lower the output to mini jack? Also putting a switch on the amp switch wire to turn the amp/speakers off? Would be interested if anyone had a good guess on the resistors needed? If this is even worth it?
