Default Got some tunes installes!

Decided to get some speakers, went with ones from uniq. It was a toss up between these and the ones from 2 wheel tunes. They are the same exact size as the driving lights on the heritage. Wouldnt recommend them on handlebars...kinda big but I installed them on highway bars and they look like they were meant to be there. They sound great on highway and back roads. Just thought I'd pass it along! Took a friend and me about an hour. (he did most of work, I watched and handed him the screwdrivers and bolts) They might look ok on handlebars if windshield is on...

I put the amplifier in the fork bag. The bag fit perfectly just under the neck. Ran the wires under console to the battery.

From the amp is a wire that plugs into any ipod where the headphone normally would plug in. I turn the volume up on amp, then use the ipod to adjust volume. I might still get a handlebar mount but for now my small iPod shuffle has a clip on it to attach to the brake line. I have a Nano also which i will eventually get the handlebar mount for. Maybe next season when Im not as broke I will get a satellite music player.

Never seen speakers mounted there before. It looks real sharp imo.

If I ever decide to put speakers on my Heritage I am going with the Rumble Road units that don't require a separate amp.

Well I saw a neat IDEA, my neighbor got a tank bag , & mounted two small , marine grade speakers. He then ran a power source to the bag, plugs in his IPOD & he has MUSIC!
