08 Harley with JL System

i agree with the hardware. gross oversight on an otherwise amazing and unique install.

That's all I was trying to say. All that hard work ruined by crappy hardware, but other than that and the Fleckstone in the box, it looks real nice.

shoulda put a wall with some 15"s on that bike. probably would've got way louder on the meter too.

haha, jk, a lot of work for a clean install it looks like. that job probably could've been half-assed in a few hours.

I'm curious as to how that sub sounds.

But I gotta say, other than the yellow at the end of the bolts I think it looks really nice, good work.

Upgraded alt on the bike? The stocker is a paltry 35A. That and the fact that I don't want to lose space in the saddlebags is the reason that I haven't don't much to my big bike other than a speaker swap and adding an aftermarket XM receiver.

How does the output from the sub vent outside the trunk?

The speakers are polypro cones, a little bit of rain won't hurt them much at all.

ive never liked dressers or stereos on bikes for that matter but great install none the less.

ive never liked dressers

I didn't used to like them either, but there is no comparison out on the open road between a touring bike and a cruiser. I've ridden my Lowrider all over the western US and Canada. Now that I have a Street Glide, the FXDL will probably never leave the local area again.

Huge fan of having a radio for the long hauls, too. It's not like there's anyone to talk to and the drone of the exhaust gets monotonous after awhile.

makes sense, i just cant see that much audio being neccesary since itll be droned out mostly.

You'd be surprised how well you can hear the stock system. I was skeptical at first, too. The shape of the fairing creates a nice little air pocket behind it and the speakers play into that still air.

That is a killer install man! I'd love to do something like that with mine. Bet it sounds real nice cruisin down the ol' super slab! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
