Maybe some air conditioning too?!

Check out JC Whitney, they have some bar mounted radios.

Between the pipes, the wind and other noise, I don't know how in the world a small radio with small speakers is going to sound even decent to be heard. Be easier just to have earphones and an mp3 player.

Here's a quote: "Listen to your vehicle. Very often it's trying to tell you something. As long as I've had AM/FM-radio-equipped harleys, I can't ever remember turning one on. I prefer to listen to the sound of my own engines."

It's a personalpreference, of course, but why drag along the cager-crap with two-wheeled freedom?

Yes I ride with a windshield but I was thinking of something small and simple not so big that goes on the windshield. I may have to use like a walkman or ipod or something. My buddy that rides with us sometimes has a electra glide with the sterio and its always neat riding beside him. Thankx guys

A guy I have ridden with on a few poker runs has an MP3 player with speakers mounted in the standard HD turn signals but facing him. Looked good and sounded pretty good as well. I think they are available, but he got his from a local fabricator.
