Sound system
I want to get my wife a sound system for her Softail Deluxe. Everything I have seen with handlebar mounted speakers seems to suck at highway speed....what's everybody using that you can hear on the highway???

Been there, done that, here is my install thread. Having done the research, if I were to do it all over again, I'd go with a "Joe's fork bag stereo".

I've looked at the boom audio that you link to, but I like my windshield bag as well so I'm a bit torn. Also with the speakers directly in front of me, I'm not sure my passenger will be able to hear well.
I've also been looking at Cycle Sounds "Rock Box".
It's the same price as the boom audio, but it has FM which I think I'd like.

Whatever you decide on, post a follow-up so we know what you decided on.
Thanks,

Yup. The cross bar on the "nostalgia" windshield is curved downward. All of the other windshields in the Harley Accessories catalog have a straight crossbar. The outer mounting holes on the Boom! speaker thing only line up with the straight cross bars. Believe me, I tried.
