Combination of luxury/old man's bike.

Just kidding...to each their own. It's just not for me. I'd rather ride a smaller bike and if I need comfort with my performance I take the Z06.

You do go first class though...I give you that.

all you need now is a trailer and you'll officially have the station wagon of the cycle world. That's what I used to call my step dad's gold wing. I mean that affectionately of course. LOL

My guess... weather.

Car speakers don't do well when they get wet.

You could use marine speakers though.

That and car speakers aren't designed to combate all the added sounds that a MC has.

I tell you what, I got used to that setup in a hurry.

Hope the new speakers work out well for you!
That's the thing... its gets SO nice so fast!!!

actually... any car audio speaker with a rubber surround and a poly or synthetic material for the cone would work just fine. there isn't much difference between marine and car audio these days when it comes to speakers... maybe a little more sealing on the back side. but where they're sitting in your bike... you'll be fine.

BUT... I did notice that your speakers are 2ohm... I'm thinking THAT is the reason they're so loud. check the resistance of the stock HD ones...

most Car Audio are 4ohm... some cases 8ohm (which is what home audio is) when running a lower ohm... (if I remember right... it's been 7 years since I sold and installed this shit) the speakers are gonna be louder or suck more power at the same volume...

for example take a car audio speaker that's 4ohm... hook it up in your house. it'll be louder at the same volume setting than an 8ohm home audio speaker.


looks good though.
