Nice.

I got a blackberry for music and stuff on the road, music is nice when your riding. I rode a Street Glide last year and didnt like the stock speakers either. But I knew it could be remedied with aftermarket, like every other problem HD's have

its funny, i bought a sled last winter, and coming from a HD, expected to see a ton of aftermerket. There is quite a bit, but barely anything compared to HD

Nothing compares to hd in that respect. maybe in anything. its really a great example of marketing over several generations

itls also a result of using the same frame and engine configurations for 9-10 years at a time, cutting manufacturing costs because they can be fit on most bikes with that frame...

I know it is, but now they'll keep this configuration for years to come, and aftermarket companies will make copious amounts of aftermarket parts that will carry over year after year. Just like it did for years before now.
