Default Audio with No Windshield

Curious what anyone might be doing for audio if you dont have a fairing or windshield?

Humming to yourself would be my suggestion.

Blue Tooth Ear Buds or plugs with cable to whatever device or really big speakers and crank them up. I call those guys radios on wheels.

I ride with either a modular or full face helmet. Both have SENA bluetooth and depending on model, the sound is really good. Wind noise not a problem. I for one don't like a screaming stereo at a stop light.

I use Sena with a modular helmet. My bike had Harley speakers on the handlebars, not impressed. Tolerable in town, worthless on the hiway..

I guess it depends on what your wanting. Do you want what the other guys have mentioned or are you talkin about amp/speakers?. If you thinking a system head over the audio section. Back when I had my softail I used headphone but it blocks out all the other noise so I couldn't hear stuff around me. With a system I can hear the music, wind, and sirens lol

I don't know about humming, but before my bagger (w/radio), on a longer ride, the voices in my head would have some interesting discussions....!
