Bags/fender are Topshop
Lids are Rock N Ride 6.5" (i believe)with custom grills to match wheels.
Wheels are RideWright 7 Sins. 21x18
The red adds about 30-100mph...lol

I gave up two gauges, and can't say I miss them, but this is definitely something to think about.

Thanks for the compliments man. I went with the Alpine 2" tweets. Was a pain to cut and install them. Well, cutting the holes wasn't a problem but on the inside of the fairing, there's the screw mounts that were in the way so I had to cut them out in order for the tweets to be mounted correctly. I am able to swivel the tweets to point them where ever. I point them level to my head.
My first option was to go with the HogPod tweeters(I think that's what they're called) but I didn't like the fact that I couldn't swap out the tweets and put in the Alpine so I went with this option instead.
Thanks again man.
