Default Radios on road kings
This is my first Road King style bike. I was wondering what is available for these bikes in the way of radios. I still have my wide glide, but I was wanting some tunes on this bike.
Any suggestions that wont break the bank?

Satellite radio. Great reception, dozens of channels mostly commercial free, in-ear speakers to reduce wind but still hear sounds and music.

Satellite probably best. I'm considering it for my RKC as well.

Cheep? Did you say cheep? Now you are talking my language. If you want cheep, go to amazon.com and pick up a Coby CX9 digital am/fm radio. I think it was $13. It fits in my shirt pocket and there is a button lock on it, 12 preset staions. I took a set of cheep headphones and velcroed them into my helmet. I have a Sirius mounted on the handle bars and tune the radio to 88fm and pick up the sirius. That way the headphone wire isn't flapping in the breeze and I don't have to unplug it to get off the bike. Total cost $47.
Now that's cheep.
