anyone try the new stereo that mounts onto the windshield for softails? i'm looking at a xmas gift for myself and that's top of the list if it's going to work...

 

Do you know what its called bro?

 

I was in Vegas last week and they had that system set up to demo. It sounded pretty good. My wife was there and I made a point of how nice it would be to get it. Lets see if it's under the tree this year.

 

They have the display set up at our local dealer. It's pretty loud but the sound is tinny. I guess that is to be expected from speakers that size. I do like the shield mount over the bar mounted setup. I have a buddy with the Ron's Radio system and I would go with it over the HD unit personally. It's a few more bucks, but the sound is much better.

 

If you get it, we can go head to head with my J&M's. Also hoping to get some Cycle Sounds for a sound comparison as well. Here are my J&M's.

May just be me, but I don't see the point in getting a stereo for a motorcycle? I have always viewed it as this: if you want the "comforts" of a car, get a car. Part of the joy of riding a motorcycle is in part to connect with nature and your machine. The sound of the engine, the wind, the birds, etc. are all part of what makes riding unique. Blasting a stereo more or less, just wrecks the experience for me.

 

We do all have our own opinions and are certainly entitled to them. When I am splitting lanes down the 405 in wall to wall rush hour traffic that is going nowhere, that stereo sure helps keep me nice and calm. I don't really see a stereo as a comfort of a car, but a welcome addition to my ride.

Cheers!
