The big radius for the touring models must have different baffles. I had them on my softail and had a hard time hearing an ipod with push in your ear headphones. I have Rineharts on my RKC and there are people here on this forum that think Rineharts are too loud. They aren't anything compared to the big radius I had on my softail.

Try to find someone with bgi radius on their bike and ride beside them. See if you can still hear your radio.

You need to decide what's more important to you. A loud bike or good tunes.

I had the Big Radius on my Fatboy and thought they were just right. The guy behind me thought they were loud as $#^* after following me around for a while.

I was thinking of going with the black version of the BR 2 into 2, but I need to hear it in person before I can pull the trigger.
