Not me but I was looking into these "Sounds of Chrome" by Kury:

Yeah I've seen those but they are way too expensive. I was thinking just a $40 one from Wally World and some bungee straps. I've seen one with 3 suction cups on the bottom. Between that and bungee cords I think it'd stay on.

Just curious, did you ever try this? I was thinking about doing the same thing. I was thinking about doing a combo mini fairing up front and hiding the speaker between the fairing and the handlebars for a little extra reflection oomph.

most of the cheap bluetooth speakers dont really put out a whole lot of power.
they're fine for an office, garage, or bedroom speaker but the ones i've tested arent going to be heard at 70mph over the exhaust and wind.
there are some high end models that will be fine for riding. but the price point puts it nearly into the installed stereo price. i think i'd rather go with joe's forkbag stereo.

Does anyone have the Kuryakyn 835 Bluetooth Sound of Chrome installed? I currently have the Boom Audio windshield mounted amp and speaker and while it is pretty good on my Heritage Classic, was considering something with a little bit more sound without having to add a faring. Not sure if these would be any better?

Thanks slozomby. I figured it would probably be too weak, but I really wanted something completely minimal for my Iron, plus the cost of the forkbag system is pretty high too! I may try it anyway. I have stock pipes so it's not that loud. If it doesn't work I'll just return it or put it in the garage.
Italianprincess - I think if you search for that in the audio section you will find a few people who have used it.
