Yes, it can be detachable....taking off 2 bolts releases it from the handlebar mounted clamps. You would have to put quick disconnects on the positive and negative leads that come from the back of the unit and are routed to the battery area.

It also comes in a slightly smaller version. The only difference is the smaller version comes with 4" speakers versus the 5 1/4" speakers that are shown in the pics and also has a smaller housing.

Great sound and can hear it clearly at highway speeds.

Price is $550.00.

It will be up available soon at www.hardrideaudio.com.

Definitely a creative solution . . . but it just doesn't do it for me.

Pretty pricey. The HD one sells for $350. And they were selling full fairings with the stereo and speakers at Laughlin for $850. Good luck but I think it's too high.

I will admit it is different, but it solves the problem of not being able to hear other handlebar mounted systems at speed. No problem there.

The HD system is quite stylish, yet it totally lacks in functon for sound.

Thats a great price on a fairing with sound. I just didn't want to do the full fairing look.
