Here is one of the last photos before upgrading my Valkyrie.

In August i was rear ended while stopped at a redlight for over a min. driver claims brakes failed seemed high and didnt have insurance (officer pulled up info from dmv saying valid but my calls the next day revealed it wasnt) so thankfully i have insurance on the bike here in Florida.

I took advantage of the trunk having a hole in it with other small damages and fighting hard for the insurance not to total this bike.

Now i have upgraded the trunk to a Voodoo Bikeworks Grudgepack Tourpack.

Inside is 4x Ground zero competition speakers

2x 10"s Ground Zero GZCM 10.0SPL
2x 8"s Ground Zero GZCK 200XSPL
Soundigital 1200.4S Evo amp
 And Antigravity 12v Lithium YTX12 Secondary Battery (Isolated)

Up front in the front fairing

Front Fairing


2x 5"s Beyma
2x Tweeters PRV
Soundigital 400.4S
and a digital sound processor with Bluetooth connectivity for music

(factory radio stayed so i can have my fuel gauge and keep original look)

one of my favorite features is that they took the time to transfer my original taillights to the new tourpack and luggage rack so i can use my cargo nets to strap down any cargo.
(now i need armrests for passengers if anyone has any ideas please let me know)


See video below to listen to it scream!

next step is the tagaong XL wheeless trunk and led lights all around but those are still on the way.

there will be a cover (on its way) for the 2 10's to be protected more.

When you crank up those big coax woofers in back, and keep the throttle constant, do you actually gain speed on the speedometer?   cooldude Grin

Cool, but can you fit 2 full sized helmets in that trunk?  Just kidding, nice job, well done!   cooldude

I think I saw a couple songs down from that AC/DC tune   Rock N Roll ain't noise pollution, and with that setup it might be, being super duper too loud?

Just turn it down when the cops pull up alongside you for tickets might follow, maybe?

Always been meaning to upgrade my mediocre at best stock Honda upfront OEM speakers, but every time the wife tags along she gets pissed at me telling me to turn the music off or way way down.   MY cheapo mp3 player is cranked full volume while my I/S volume level is at 20 setting.  I do not think that is too loud do you?

  I guess she has better hearing than me, probably right.  Even watching TV at home she says do I really need the volume that LOUD, when in reality in my eyes I think it is just right.   Angry

Way to go in making that bike your own!
Have heard a couple of good stereo systems at the Inzanes I have attended.
Big difference between having a loud system or a powerful system that is crystal clear. Looks like you are on your way with a good one.

Not to bad at all.  When the cops pull you over for excessive noise, they are going to love that plate.   Wink      Ride safe.

Yes! and my exact point is to not only enjoy the music but to be heard and not hit again. Miami is crazy so when something draws attention away from the phone zombies driving its better. At the very least its too loud and their goal is to get away from me which is also fine more road for me to enjoy safely.

i still have the 2 helmet locks under the tourpack Smiley

Cops in miami dont care about or mess with cruisers i had that plate on when i went to grab lunch at a chick fil a and 4 cop cars and bput 12 cops all came up afterwards for lunch and even parked next to me and didnt do a thing. Had cops behind me for over 10 miles with this plate before and i was doing 80 in a 65 zone and nothing.

My helmet camera is a Garmin Virb thhat logs GPS data and speed so i can prove how often the cops recklessly speed and do stupid stuff on the road when they are out of their jurisdiction like a miami beach cop in fort lauderdale doing 90 in a 55 zone no lights or sirens and cutting off several people without blinkers.

So i dont care what the cops thing or say until they manage to take care of their own department. My real plate is right under that plate and it reads "RUN THS" lmfao. Cant beleive the DMV gave it to me.

One time though this plate did get me in trouble officer tried pull me over for running a stop sign ( had helmet camera proof i didnt) but still wrote me a ticket for it and the plate. i on the spot removed the vanity plate to show my real plate but he didnt care. (I do bike event photography and videography i dont want people following my plate home and stealing my gear) and told the officer that i had just left and event the day prior. Took it to court showed judge real plate was there all charges dismissed. Be respectful to a judge and it goes a long way. these beat cops are all a joke.( i respect cops and all they do especially the good ones but most down here could care less about things)

Funny enough ive been riding my neighbors 3rd bike 1989 Honda Hawk small 650 vtwin for the past 3 months and coming back to this with the sound system i find my self at every light gently hitting the throttle to make sure the bike is still running, lol under the seat is lithium ion battery and in the trunk is another lithium ion battery isolated. so i have plenty of power but the Valkyrie goes so smoothly its so hard to tell over the music that the bike is still running lol. Cheesy

You look very different than I would have imagined.  I'm sure you won't be able to pay for a drink at InZane.

Lol I wish I was that good looking but sadly that is not me and I will be paying for my own drinks anywhere. I’m a photographer I prefer to stay behind the camera lol. But I will take some photos of me and the bike in the near future I turned the volume up to 11 last night and one of the coax cones on the 10’S just went flying off
