Default I want music!

I would like add some music to my 05 RK Classic.

I see that Harley makes a radio that mounts on the bars, and they also sell an MP3 player that mounts near the controls. I'm not really crazy about how this looks, but the setup suits me fine.....unless some of you have any other suggestions.

OTOH....I change moods very easily. Is there something I can remove and install at will?


Here's the MP3 player:


Here's the HD audio system:

Do you have any more information on that mp3 player with speakers? If so I'd be interested to get it.

Thanks

I picked up a used ARCOS MP3 player off ebay for $65. It has a 15GB hard drive in it. Its like an ipod. The got a boosteroo booster amplifier and some sound cancelling headhones that work great with a half helmet. I put a few pieces of velcro tape on the dash of my RK. I'm not crazy about the look of the tape, but it works fine and since the player is usually on the bike it is usually hidden. Well it is all very removable. The entire set up was less than $100.00

I don't know if you have considered this, but the 06 HD audio package CD player will play MP3's.
