There is a guy in the Dyna section "Joe The Powder Pro" not sure his handle here. He does fork bag stereos. When I lived over there, I saw some good reviews.

I'm betting it's possible, check the standard crash bar and compare it to a Road King. I think its about the same radius, if so then lowers from a touring bike would fit. Also check Sumax, they make all kinds of **** to convert Softails and Dynas to baggers

but then maybe with the way they would be pointed, i might not be able to hear them.. i don't know. as of now i listen to music with my mp3 player, but every time i'm next to a tourning model i start thinking of ways to do it.. i don't think i would mind speakers on the crash bars, i would mount them some they came under the top bar and pointed up. but they would have to be pretty loud to over power my shortshots.. i just wants some good bass response and not sounding like tin cans
