Hey guys,

I've done some searching on the forum and found a few threads but nothing solid. I would like to install a radio on my 04' Softail Standard. I'm tired of using headphones or bluetooth headsets. I'd like to get a clean, small form factor radio, not worried about the hand controls like they have on the full dresers. I would just like to have a radio so I can hear it while on highway rides. Suggestions? If it matters, I have 18" apes on the bike without a windshield. Thanks guys

 

I don't have one myself but I did see a post recently from Lizdc who has the extremecycle radio/mp3 player. I checked it out online and it looked like a decent radio at a good price. Hard to go wrong with J&M but my guess is their system will go for more. Either system would be worth checking out.

 

Thanks for your reply Jimmers. I looked into those two models and honestly not a big fan. My bike has a real clean simple look to it, I'm afraid adding those big speakers to the bars would make it look funny. I was hoping for a low profile radio with the speakers built in or even hidden elsewhere.

Any other options out there, if not I may be stuck with the bluetooth headset running from my phone.

Thanks

 

There was a thread about fork bag speakers. Don't remember who it was. Did you see that one?

 

No that doesn't sound familiar. I'm new to the HD scene (first Harley) so not sure what all my options are. I'll search that one, thanks!

 

Type fork bag stereo in the search you'll see it there

 

David, thanks for the information that's exactly what I had in mind. Appreciate it!

 

Yeah, maybe that's why I'm speakerless

 

I just finished putting Hogtunes ma2 on my Super Glide this weekend. Everything fits in a fork bag and I set it up with quick release connections so I can take it off to wash the bike. At 62mph I could hear the music but I knew the words of the song.

 

Miami, your post makes me wonder about these radio
Bags....

Hope when and if we get caught in the rain it doesn't damage our radios (once I order mine).
