Skull Candy Air raid - striiiiike 1!
So I got the skull candy air raid to listen to some tunes on my 15 street bob. My plan was to use a windshield bag and mod it some. Needless to say, its ugly, can't mount it without it flopping around a bunch and such - so to hell with that idea.
my next idea is a nice, heavy handlebar mount. I have in mind a mount (whether its bar mount or mirror stem doesn't matter) but I'd like to have a flat, universal mount that can somewhat fit the speaker and hold the weight (its not the lightest thing). Can anyone point me towards a good one? Amazon has a zillion of them, but some of them look so cheapy and made of plastic. My other option was just getting the bar clamp and somehow attaching a small rod to it and attaching a piece of flatstock to the rod to mount the speaker to, but then I run into trying to make it not look like a POS.

Haha, thanks - yes I did see that, and I do own the velcro to do it. Was just hoping for something a little cleaner. And from the aerial photo it looks nice, but it does stick up quite a bit. Was also a little concerned about the speaker rubbing and leaving marks, even though it is rubber coated.
I also have to figure this issue out for my 09 fatbob as well, but my windshield on that bike has the bracket that goes horizontally across, so a windshield bag will mount no problem. The street bob shield only has the uprights and no cross bracing.

For me, fxdl, I have a shield and a pretty loud pipe....I can still hear it at 75 mph, it's muffled but OK!, cruising around town and parked, very nice!

Cool looks like a cheap way to get some tunes. I'm going to look into it.

I'll assume, position of speaker, type of bike and air flow was your culprit?
