You might want to see if this kit is offered on other sites like Amazon and do a You tube search to look for reviews from others who have purchased this same kit.
Right off the bat, don't buy it for the claimed "400 watts" . I guarantee that is an extreme case of bs.

I don't have any experience with them, but quite a lot of dealing in audio and mobile audio and am quite certain that those figures are very exaggerated.

Whether the final outcome of this system results in decent audio that's another story. I've heard some these kits and most sound very bright with no bass output, and that's a limited function of both speaker design and size. 

I can tell you , that it is possible to far exceed the sound quality of these kits by putting together quality pieces. The downside is that doing this requires a little more effort, because you don't get everything in one tidy box. I guarantee ,though, the performance would far and away exceed what you get with these kits. JMHO

If interested , I sourced the parts for just such a system. The final pricing would probably come out cheaper than most of those kits.

I have done a fair amount of research on these.  I first found it last month.  By all accounts it seems to be the best bullet system out there. Most have 2 or 3 inch speakers, this is 4 inch.  Most are Chinese crap.  This is American designed and built and backed up in Colorado.   It can be had on Amazon for 30 cheaper.  Built by a guy in Colorado that by all accounts really backs up his system.  I will be ordering one for my Honda Shadow Ace Tourer next week and can give a better opinion then.

A friend put some kind of 3 inch HD ( chinese )  system on his 2015 Road King last fall.  He says he can not hear it at higher speeds.  He paid something like 450 to 500.

I had the shallow version of these speakers mounted on my standard before I bought a faring for it. 



AS you can see in the above picture I mounted them to my Memphis shades windshield brackets.  The amplifier I mounted under the seat.



Here's how it looked in Bar Harbor.



The speaker do a good job at <60 mph above that I used ear plugs and they sounded much better than without EPs because you don't get all the wind noise.  Drawbacks are no speed compensated volume, so you need to turn them down at lights to not annoy the public.

I sold them to a fellow at the Ashville IZ, but can't recall his name.  I remember he was a VET and an electrician.  I haven't heard any complaints from him so I assume he is satisfied with them.

I close the slim speakers because they were easier to mount and not as bulky looking.  If I recall they were 4 or 5" diameter and Pioneer speakers.

I have this system and its not bad for a Kit system -wish I would have went with the bigger amp though.Sound is not to bad but as mentioned you could probably get better sound building your own-just not sure where you could buy handlebar speakers?

not bad priced if American made but do some research and like said, find reviews on sound volume at hwy. speeds above 55-60 mph. 

If I had a std. or tourer,  I would consider them but I prefer my I/S with my barefoot willie cupholders on both sides of my handlebars probably where these round speakers would be mounted.  I do have to get better speakers for my I/S since the stock OEM's sort of suck for sound quality and volume much past 60 mph but the I/S's speed compensated volume on high helps to some degree and does an o.k. job
