Wow, now I'm really confused. I should have tried the radio on the test.

cobra duals with 4 inch rineharts and I can hear my radio just fine when I'm on it at 80... may want to check your auto volume settings
I'm not your average HD owner for sure! I went to two dealers in the Dallas area was basically ignored my almost everyone in the store. Was looking for a good used bike at a fair price. I guess because I was not throwing money in the air when I walked in the door or made an over the air announcement that I was in the house to buy a NEW bike, I got basically no respect. BTW, not bragging but I can and could have paid cash for any bike HD sells but I choose not too and I did pay cash for the one I bought. My monthly payments go to my kids in college. With that being said, I bought online am happy with the purchase and don't plan to donate anymore money than I have to the network of HD stealers. I've always wanted a RK before I die and I have one.

Personally I like to hear the full fidelity of the music I am listening to. Not just a bunch of noise competing with road, engine and exhaust noise.
And unless you are wearing stereo earbuds you really can't hear the music like I like to listen to it.

I'll agree with his statement on the interstate, not the backroads which is where I spend most of my time. I listen to mine often. You won't regret it.

As stated before..... You'll see all the empty spots where 2 grand of chrome will look good once you get some miles on it :-)
As for dealers - I hear ya!!!!! I have a hard time handing my hard earned money over to people that ignore me. I don't want anyone kissin my butt or anything, but just to be friendly isn't asking too much. That's why I bought my first bike from Cowboys in Beaumont, TX. Their incredible service is why I bought my second from them.
After buying chrome from the other 6 or 7 HD dealers in Houston, they are all nice now, but too late. They lost my business for buying a bike from any of them years ago......

Now granted, you're not going to hear the music like I was sitting in front of my Bose system at the house, or even in my Mustang, but going down the road I can hear mine just fine....I wouldn't be without one, nor the cruise control, lockable saddlebags, and I can add CB radio if I want...I've added lowers and a chopped tour box (see sig pic)... Both bikes good choices but I like the SG over the RK, but that's just me....that's why they make both....different likes
