no speakers... yet... i think i may run a compassitor or alt mini battery back there to run another amp (small four channel) then add some speakers to the trunk and make it so they can tap into the bags as well... but that will be for winter project... for now i am going to add a sun downer seat, and some floor boards and she and i are going to go off on the bike for about a week. she loves it. we went from my place to the HD musuem yesterday, then back roads up to the lake house, took the boat for a rip, then back roads home... i got the worste racoon eyes of my life! typically when she is on back she is talking about how she wishes she was on her bike. this time she was manning the remote for the stereo picking the tunes we jammed to, kicked back relaxing on the back rest... only time she brought up something negitive was to tell me how stoked she is for the sundowner seat to come in or "big butt burtha seat" as she calls it. hahahaha followed quickly by "dont worry a big butt seat will not make me get a big ***"
hahaha do love it!
bike is able to go down to the stripped bob in under 3 min

Well done, I'm looking to do the same to my Softy.
Where did you get the sidebags / tourpak, and how was the installation ?

Looks great. When my wife rides she always likes me to put the tour pack on whether we need the storage or not. She says its a lot more comfy than the regular backrest I have. I hope she doesn't see your pics because I don't have a wrap around pad on mine and I know she'd want me to get one if she saw your setup.
