The right side bag will fit a few important things, and anything else will gointo those Ridetech lid haulers or roll ups when travelling.

Very interesting! I will be watching your progress. I would love to hear the finished set up. When you are done head for Ohio and I will buy you a steak dinner so I can hear it.

Ride Safe,

Mike

Not a bad idea Jeff, and to be honest i've been thinking twice on the fans cause that'll only vent that box which the sub won't really like. I'll try it sealed and if it becomes an issue I can always add the fans later. I'll keep you posted.
Yea I was thinking the same thing, I don't think I would run fans in there you are just asking for issues. If you do you may want to build little fiberglass enclosures to seal off part of the bag where the midsubs are. If I remember correctly those only call for about .5 feet of space each so that and some polly fill may not be a bad idea anyway. Either that or I may be all wet and and you would never be able to tell the difference anyway this is a motorcycle.

Well, now I'll have to find some hard bags on e-bay! I've thought of how I could put a sub in the bag since I bought my street glide. Now you've shown me a first class install. Nice job!

Just heard my first aplified mid and sub/bag speakers yesterday. They sound great. A coworker with a RK has em with some tweets mounted on the riser cover? Not sure what that part is on a RK. Uses an ipod nano velcroed to the dash panel.

As for cooling, how much airflow do you think amps get in a car trunk or under a back seat.
The bags should get plenty of air over them to keep them from being too hot.

If they were mine, I think I would try to design a box around the speaker/amp so they had guaranteed air around them and I could load the bags without worry.

Man, just another reason to want a bagger

Great ideas. I may invest in a complete J&M set and do the same thing.

Yes sure, and maybe you could even stuff some tweeters and subs into those pleather covers you have all over that bike.

LMFAO [sm=partyparty.gif]
