Cycle Sounds Speaker System

Has anyone used any of the handlebar mounted speakers either from Kuryaykn or Cycle Sounds?? and if so, what is your take on their effectiveness and quality. I had to send back my fairing from Wide Open Custom so I am looking to do some handlebar mount speakers with an ipod hookup. I appreciate any input you guys can provide.

Thanks

I have these on mine and can hear them at 85mph going down the highway. Right now they're on special for $75.00.

Everything comes in a kit. Easy to mount.

WOW.. is this a dream or what?? A buddie of mine bought a set of bike speakers and paid over $200 about 5 years ago!! I just got an ipod for my b/d a few days ago, and seeing that LOW price for those speakers, am now thinking about getting them. How do the MP3 players do on a bike?? No skipping or problems?? My technological knowledge kinda stopped at CD players!! :-/

I use my sansa mp3 and no problems. A buddy uses his Iphone and lose his signal then the stream stops. A mp3 or similar device is the ticket.

I have a 30GB Zune MP3 player, which has an internal hard drive. I have a RAM mount attached to my handlebar that holds it nice and snug. It has never skipped in many thousands of miles of listening and riding pleasure. If your MP3 player uses internal memory instead of a hard drive, there's no way it can skip.

Jevans43.. You've showed how they look, and how they mount, but.. how does it sound!

Dragonchaser... Convince me a little more that those this really rock! But if it plays sound and you can hear on the highway, I might just give it another look.
