Checked them out. They have a couple pics posted of them mounted. Little fugly, but when BT releases the 7.1 brackets for the rush bikes I might give them a shot so I can put my 6.5 titans in the rear.

Default Thanks to all for this thread

Just pulled the trigger on a pair of Kicker CS6.5's, Magic Box, and RF PBR 300x2 Amp. Can't wait to install them and hear the difference!

That gaping hole isn't in the adapter. It's built into the OEM faring lowers on all the rush bikes with the cooler. That's where hot air is expelled by the cooling system.

Cycle Sounds is the only place I've found it.

I use these for my lids when parked in the rain. They will not stay on while in motion so don't try it. Ask me how I know.

I use these on all lid installs

Hi, I just installed the Sirius Radio module board. I got it from the dealer and it was very easy to install. The module was over 300 dollars. I removed the fairing and I think it was 6 bolts I removed. Once the fairing was loose, I had to make sure i unplugged the headlight from the plug. The entrance to where the module goes has a cover on it. You simply remove the cover and then slide the module into the opening. I put the module in and screwed it down, and placed my antenna in a open space to allow it to pick up a good signal. I plugged in the headlight and reinstalled the fairing. Turned on the key to my bike went to the sirius radio mode and it worked perfect. I have sirius radio in my S-10 truck, my 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, and now i have it in my new 2014 tri glide. The money was well spent and I am happy. if anyone has any questions on how to install it, please feel free to contact me. I found it to be a very simple install. Comes with a great set of directions also.
Hope this helps anyone who is wanting Sirius Radio installed on there bike

I got my bike in February this year. I have 290 miles on my bike and then in May I had major surgery, and got cancer. I am healing up right now, I cant wait until I feel good enough to ride.
Hope this post helps.

sorry was in laconia all weekend.

i did not have to make any modifications to the pods or the speakers and i did not have to change my grills.

i rode 1500 miles this weekend 80mph on cruise control up to laconia and i had no problem hearing my music. in fact the guy riding behind me on his sgs with stock speakers have to move to the back of the line becuase he could not hear his music since mine was so loud once we got off the highway.

for $400 (amp, speakers, magic box, wiring) i am very happy with the upgrade and it was very simple to install.

if you need further help let me know
