Hopefully this shows the bike. ???
This is the Speaker Lid setup. Is there any issues anyone can see besides rain? I have a tourer and like this idea over handlebar mounts.

At speed, will you hear them well since they're behind you? Just a thought, don't know how strong they are.

You will have to crank them up pretty high so as to hear them on the road.  Your sound will go to the rear.

Don't go to California is you do them that way.    They have a noise ordinance on radios.

The picture, you get the properties of THE PICTURE, no the whole album.

Do you have a Batwing fairing?

If so go to this link and look for some speakers.    Looks like they only 3 kinds now.     Must be nobody using the older fairings, like Bates and etc.

A lot of interstates mount speakers on the front of the trunk. Don't know why placing them a bit lower would make that work any less.

Although upon closer inspection, you might need quieter pipes.

Interstate speakers are several inches higher also.    That makes a difference and they also have a rise in the trunk to help hold the sound longer.

And if you have a passenger, their arm on the armrest also helps hold the sound.

Haven't you had your wife reaming you a new one and walk away still yaking.   Can you hear her?  Same thing.

Certainly not if you're traveling more than 750 mph

Joe thats why I posted, new lids are hard to come by . I just needed to be talked out of chopping up my perfectly fine bags. I am going Reb's route.

Can you show us pictures of your trimtab Valkyrie? Does it perform the way they advertise it does?

They are approx. 2 1/2" in diameter, have a 300 watt amp(150 ea. side), and you don't have trouble hearing them. The small gauges are 2 1/16" and you can see they fit right in. The red wires hanging down on the right side indicate I took the picture before final installation. I was using the power lead and jumping it to a power source so I could test my hookups. If you look closely behind the right side speaker, you can see the gray amp mounted on the windshield bracket. I modified the wiring so I can unplug everything if I ever need to remove the handlebars or the speakers themselves. I then made a "Y" plug in so I can hook up my GPS(mount is the brass colored ball to the left of the handlebar clamp) and iPod(mount is near the right side controls) at the same time. After getting caught in the rain returning from InZane this year, it also proved to be water proof. Cost was around $150+/- off Ebay.

I posted the a photo in the justpics gallery. I'm still navigating the new photo stuff.

  It is nice in the summertime. BUT you get alot of wind around it above 65. In winter you have to adjust it all the way up, problem is you cannot see thru it. For the money if I was to do it again I would go with a Batwing. I think I am going to limmo tint the lower half of my stock windshield for winter. The bike is like Mr Potato Head, I have to keep changing stuff .


I like snelson200's and John Schmidt's setup, I would like to get a little more bass.
