I know this doesn't apply to every body because not everyone has them but for those of you looking to upgrade your stereos have you ever tried the headset and if not why not.I listen to my stock stereo through the headset every day and I think it sounds pretty good.Definitely way better than the stock speakers and with a Limited free.
I put the Booms in my SG and really like them.
I can tell a noticable difference in loudness and sound quality.
And I really like the looks of them.
Very easy to install and hook up.
All plug and play.

I put the Booms in my FLHTK. They do sound better and are louder, probably why I think they sound better. I hear my music well and I ride 75 - 80 mph. They will still distort because it is the amplifier that distorts. I could still use more volume and the only way to get that now is to install an amp which I am considering. If I go with an amp it will be the J&M 500W. No point in continuing this incrementalism...

the speakers will fit with an adapter ring. the reason they state '14 only is because of the grills that come in the kit. these won't work for you on a prior to '14 bike because the hole in the fairing is much larger.

Biketronics BT7P1 7.1" speakers are the way to go for batwing fairing speakers. They come with the adapter rings, they're made by Hybrid Audio Technologies, and they flat out kick azz with a decent amp on them. You will NOT get the bass these speakers produce out of ANY other fairing speaker.
