Default Front light bar mod

Wondering if anyone has thought to remove the 2 side lights off the softail deluxe front light bar? Im thinking 2 speakers of some sort might fit in this area quite nice? Obviously reversed toward the rider Thoughts?

Thanx

because they're in front of the windshield I don't see where they would be any benefit to the rider. If you're riding without a shield, then that might be an option but IMO would look kinda silly. :-)

No windshield. So running speakers on the crash bar is ok, running speakers in lowers on a cvo roadking is ok, but on the light bar just 6 inches out in front and 1 foot up isnt? Maybe Im just dreaming of a way to have music without a front fairing

Many folks have used passing lamp housings to install speakers on handlebars. If you want to try it on the light bar, go for it.

was just my opinion on the looks. I think it's a great idea just not something I personally would do.

Researching this idea more and more. Looking at speakers for the light bar in front then deciding if I want to go hard bags on my new bike or leather. So many options so little $$

Yes sir, I had a VTX a few years back and that is exactly what I had done. Speakers in the light bar on the handlebars.
