I have a sound system on my '05 1200C. Purchased from cycle sounds for $400, includes two speakers, amplifier. Have it wired to the ignition switch for XM radio. (If I knew how to post a photo would show it in larger photo than my avatar?).

WVleo,Do you have any pics of your setup? I was thinking of a windshield bag but my speedo and tach may be in the way.

Got the Cycle Sounds system as well. Sounds pretty good, gotta blast it on the freeway or running through gears, but it's great for cruising/commuting!

Amp's mounted on the lower frame, speakers go where the stock TS bullets go, iPod on a custom mount...
