Road King Audio
Can anyone suggest a audio system for my Road King Custom. I would like bullet style speakers. I have looked at a few online and can only find good feed back on LanZar and Shark, cycle sounds has one response for feed back. Also as where as affordability Lanzar and Shark are way more affordable not to mention the fact that I can buy the new HD system for cheaper than the cycle sounds. Can someone help?

You can think about adding lower fairings on the crash bar with a 6.5" speaker in place of the glove boxes. If you were looking to change to hard bags, you could do the cyclesounds speaker lids which have 6x9's in them. Here is a write up on what I did, there are several others out there doing stereos, but most of them have street glides or ultras so they have fairing speakers and a head unit.

Let me know if you have any questions, I did the full install myself.

Are you looking at this system? http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...5&default=none
I'm ordering it today as the wife gave me permission last night. I did have this system on my bike http://www.uniqcycle.com/classic-mot...-speakers.html and I was not happy with it as it sounded like a cheap system. Never had problems with it, just time to upgrade

I just bought the HD Boom bullet style speakers for $399 (ouch), but they look great in all chrome and sound great at 70 mph with other bikes around me. Easy finger conrols. Installation was a pain, but was worth it. I have a portable XM radio and the HD magnetic holder which sticks to the gas tank.

I just ordered a set of these KDDCC - 5-3/4" speaker buckets and I'm installing my own 5-1/4" Hertz HCX 130 speakers in them.
