Handle bar speakers

Does anyone use these? If so, how do you like them? Do they work well at highway speeds 65+?

I'm riding my 1st Harley. Almost 2 yrs now, on an 09 EG Classic. I've done 3 stereo upgrades. Knowing what I know now, I think you'll be able to hear some music, but that's about it. If you're looking for good bass, you're not gonna get it, but at least you'll have tunes. If you find somebody who has some, better see if you can take it for a ride. It'll be a whole lot different than what you hear while the bike's not moving. Guarantee it.

If you have a windshield it helps quite a bit. I no problem hearing the tunes at highway speed. I took my windshield off and tried it,,,,,,couldn't hear the music at highway speeds.

I have not heard the Cycle Sounds 3" in person yet so I really cannot comment. One of these days I'll get to a show where they have a booth and have a comparison.

I like the saddle bag lid set-up, I have the older fiberglass RK bags on my deluxe and may opt for one of the lid options in conjunction with my boom audio handlebars speakers.
