RE: my prototype windshield stereo case for dyna's
Wow excellent idea and it sure turned out great. Only thing I can see to figure out is getting it hooked up for power which can't be as big a hurdle as coming up with your prototype. I'm over in Battle Creek and am very much interested....later

I am a modeller/moldmaker, so I can really appreciate the effort.
Your trade allows you to realize a dream.
Whether it is yours or a clients, makes no difference.
Keep up the good work.

Way cool Jackyl! Any idea what sort of price range this unit might be? Love to find something like this for my wife's Street Bob.........I do custom woodwork, but doesn't seem practical to do something out of wood for a bike radio!

RE: my prototype windshield stereo case for dyna's
jackyl, What are your thoughts on speakers? device pre's, and amp? I really like your mounting design, but the true problem on a harley sound system is the electronics..Even with ear buds and a powered preamp. its hard to get any quality at the volumes required to be heard over a good set of pipes.. If you can come up with the right electronics ,, you might really be on to something,,,
