I like the look of the batwing fairings but I think I like the look of the road king without.
My question is are saddle bag speakers alone loud enough to hear at highay speeds.
Thanks
John.

 

I don't have personal experience, but those that do have told me they are no good at highway speeds. Contact Dr. V-Twin and I'm sure he can fill you in.

 

Thank you. I will find him.

 

depends on what speakers and what amp you run. and how much you want to spend.

 

That was my next question. If it is possible. what will it run me for the parts to make it that loud?

 

Save yourself the trouble and just hook up the front end amp/speakers... You (the rider) won't hear the rear ones anyway... add in a 4 channel amp with some lower speakers in if you want it LOUD!!!

Just my 2¢

 

I started out with 6x9 speakers in my hard bags and a 4 channel 1000 watt amp. Couldn't hear anything at highway speed, too much wind. Added cycle sounds speakers to the handle bars and a windshield. Now I can hear the music at any speed. Never did try just the hard bag speakers and a windshield, may have worked. The 1000 watt amp is overkill, I got it because it has a built in fan, which I wanted since the amp was going to be in bottom of my extended bags. I wired the speakers in "series". This being said, my bag speakers are not lid mounted, so there is that difference.

 

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER !!!

 

What speakers & amp are you using ??

 

So how about the speaker that are like 6 inches or whatever on the crash bar? Will they be loud enough with an amp or should I just make my life easier and buy the fairing?
