Save up your money and just buy one of the aftermarket fairing, you'll we happy with that,plus you have more options of stereo up-grades and setups. JMO. That's what i'm working on.

Surprised that no one has mentioned the Hogtunes system, it's fairly new and all, but Hogtunes is renown for their quality and reliability.

I'm assuming you know a bit about the Hogtunes.

What is "MaxBass"? Those speakers are awfully small to have any bass.
Do they sound any good?

How about this... Its an Alright Looking Option that will give you TUNES audible at 80 mph...

And Its affordable... Box is roughly $200 on e-Bay + Radio and Speakers...

MAXXBASS is a an acoustic signal added to the output of the amplifier that basically tricks the ears into "hearing" a bass frequency that doesn't actually exist in the reproduction of the music coming out of the speakers. Hogtunes uses this because the bass frequencies cannot be produced by a small speaker without destroying itself. Hence one of the reasons the 2 Wheel Tunes (or Cycle Sounds) systems cannot live for very long under normal operating conditions.

Also, Hogtunes uses the housing the speaker is mounted in as a heat sink to keep the speaker driver cool, another deisign feature that gives the speaker reliability and quality sound.

Not to oversell the product, going 80mph with no windshield will result in poor sound quality without a doubt. But for what features the system contains, for the price, it can't be beat. IMO.

Haven't seen that pic before... Hey Q, did you ever decide which fairing you're gonna get? I'm still thinking about that myself, whether I want to get speakers like the OP, or go ahead and get the Fairing....

Of course the evil money spending part of me wants to buy the chrome speakers, and somehow wire them into the fairing as well to have even more speakers later when the fairing is added, and STILL have speakers when it's stripped down.

Follow the post. This is what I set up for my 07 RKC at 65+ mph the sounds still great I don't hear the lowers much at that speed but around town I can.

My lowers are the vented type, with glove box. Maybe I can get a little creative, and install a set of decent speakers in the glove boxes. Slap in an amp, and I'm ready.

I'll keep posted
