I've heard/seen those speakers... unless you have a windshield and not running at highway speeds, forget about them, you won't hear crap and they really mess the bike's looks (if you care about it). Let us know how you liked 'em.
I've been looking for a while... I want a removable MP3 capable setup and which can be heard at low speeds under 60mph, this is the closest I've gotten to what I want, check it out:

Mimo somehow I can’t imagine you strapping that UGLY monstrosity to your tank..IMO. I did see a bike very much like yours with Rumble Road speakers that he attached to the crash bars facing rear. He painted the back of them to match his bike but the install was spot on and didn’t look bad. He said he could hear it fine at freeway speed.

I've seen those on a Softail Std which belongs to a friend of mine, he put on the volume ctrl and the small equalizer too (all chrome), the speakers (Mickey Mouse ears as I call 'em), were mounted on the crash bars just as you describe, he even wired the speakers drilling the crash bar to run the wires internally (stupid thing to do if you ask me) and still they looked... hmmm, just not right... That is why I still lean towards a completely deatachable system, but you're right even if it serves it's purpose, that tank bag doesn't look nice and further more taking a close look, its quality is not tip-top...
