Been busy this morning, then had to take a ride. Audio, Smoke signal covers and taillight. LED bulbs and layed back plate.

How do the speakers sound?

Looks really nice Mike. Where did you get the smoke signal covers?

Thanks for the kind words, I'm kinda pleased myself. All the lenses came with bulbs or LEDs and all came from clear alternatives, I just emailed them for the right application part numbers. Wish I kept the email from them, but unfortunately deleted them. All bulbs and the LED taillight were plug-n-play without any issues, just watch the gaskets as you change the lenses. Took about 15 minutes.

Hope that helps,

SO - so, if you look at the ram - mount on the right bar, I added the volume control - think it's mandatory. They are 2.5" speakers, so the bass isn't really there, but I like having the music or radio available, and it really was enjoyable riding with tunes. I found I didn't like riding with earplugs as it covered road noise I needed to hear and I hated turning my neck. The speakers are good enough that I won't spring for the fairing as I was planning so I pocketed about $1k for other things and I can take the windshield off if I want.

Took awhile to figure where to mount the amp, I tied into the wiring harness to a switched power in the headlamp. Tidied up all the wires and lines - all in all, I'd certainly do it again.

Was a fun project.

What is that just above the choke knob and horn, mounted on the highway bars?

**Top Cat** · 01-19-2008, 11:27 PM

I think it is the amplifier. Just a guess on my part

Looks great!!! Is that what a clean bike looks like? Wow, I haven't seen that since the ROT rally last year!

Clear alternatives, are they an online company?

cactusjack · 01-20-2008, 12:18 AM

Looks good. What brand of amp is that and where did you find it?

ianicky · 01-20-2008, 09:27 AM
