Default BlueTooth sound bar

Hello all,
It's been a while since my last post. I was curious as to what would be the best Bluetooth speaker sound bar to put on my handlebars? something with good sound but doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Any suggestions? I was thinking about the KSPEAKER.

Thanks for your time!

I don't believe that there are any handlebar options like this that you will be able to hear unless in the garage.

I had a version of that one on my Heritage, it was behind a fairing and ok to 60, the pipes were V&H so the loudness of them took out some of the sound, but it was already at top volume so I don’t recommend, this or any of the similar ones, basically work at low volume in the city.
I recently bought the Kuryakyn sound bar, it’s not like a regular system but is much better, plays a lot louder, has more sound, but still has limitations and can’t be compared even to a regular factory system.
the price sucks for the Kuryakyn, and no built in radio, but most stations have a online app or just use any other streaming service, it seems to be the best choice for bikes that want some tunes without going crazy.

I'm interested in this unit also. Did you buy it? If so, how do you like it? Looking for tunes on my Fatboy.
Thanks!

I put one on my 24 Heritage, sounds ok up to certain speeds. My problem is they have you take it to the battery or tender port and it’s hot all the time. If you forget to turn it off it will run the battery down. HD makes an interface cable, but you have to splice it in, not wanting to do that if I don’t have to. I had mine off, the bike sat for two days and it struggled to start. Battery connection is good, Im curious if there is a small parasitic draw on the battery? I emailed K speaker waiting to hear back. I would like to tie it in with power that’s only on when the bike is.

I ended up buying the J&M speakers. I like how they mounted to the handlebars, real clamps designed for the diameters unlike some that just squish to fit any size. And the controller is pretty easy to use. Of course they don’t have a lot of bass, but sound pretty decent for what they are. Only $170 on sale directly through JM. I’m happy.
