Default Anyone tried a handlebar mount sound system?

How do they sound? Are they worth it? I'm thinking about doing a fairing from an old bike to fit my 04 RKS, but I still want the ability to plug in my iPod. Thanks

They aren't worth the $$$ @ any speed over 65MPH - Friend put them on his RK and ended up changing out a DragonFly Concept Fairing.... Now he can hear his sounds @ any speed...
What I been doing with my RKC was just hang a form fitted ear bud (ordered\bought at a rally & will not fall out) and put the MP3 player inside my vest pocket...

I know a guy that got amplified speakers they run off 12 volts. He just plugs in his Ipod to it no tuner though. I think he got them from Bikefest.

Had 2 Wheel Tunes on my RK. It was OK. Used a Creative Zen Sleek for the mp3 players because it had a built in FM tuner. It's by no means as good as having 5" speakers but not a bad set up.
