Nice. Hope you'll be documenting your ride with it's own thread and lots of pics? Maybe some video?

 

[seedubs1]

...maybe. Depends on if the other guy has a smart phone. I go low on technology with just an emergency beater phone when I go off the beaten path on these trips. Other than a beater emergency phone, it's just me on a motorcycle with some camping gear in the wilderness. Tons of fun

So I bought the Boss Audio MC470B on Friday from J&P Cycles. I got The package on Monday. I now have them installed on my 2011 Shadow Aero.The sound quality blew me away. Granted there isn't much bass but the mid/high range was excellent. Unfortunately I was not able to take on a test spin as my battery needs to be recharged. Will post pics later this week.

No windshield? You'll have to report back after you ride at highway speed.

I will report back later today. I'm about to head out and see how she sounds with wind noise.

Very nice.

Got back before the rain, but the speakers even with the wind noise at 65-75MPH I could still make out the music. I would say without a windshield I lose maybe30% of the music in the wind at highway speeds.

I'm not sure if its the bluetooth or my internet, but in some spots the music would cut in and out. I will next try the audio hook up and see if that makes a difference. I basically had to sit on my phone to get it to not cut out in the same spots I drove through before.

Right on. I've considered the 2 speaker version of that setup, but I think with my pipes and no windshield it might be pointless. I plan on adding a windshield soon, so I may reconsider the speakers.

To put music on that bike is.....well......sacrilege.

Why do you hate freedom?

I have never seen a front-end setup quite like that. In fact...I'm a bit ashamed to admit I don't recognize much about your bike at all.

Is that a full-custom bike?

I like it. I have always wanted to try a cruiser/chopper.

Yep, nothing stock on it. My dad and I built it from an old panhead frame when I was still in high school. The front end is a springer from a '44 knucklehead we had chromed and fitted for a modern shock to take some of the bounce out of the ride.

Hot rods do not have windshields and stereo's.
Road kings do.

I love freedom.

Nothin'?

Ok fine. It's a '95 FX Springer Softail with some aftermarket goodies. I didn't build it, but it was maintained by midget strippers

And CM says it's a "hotrod", so I can't put a windshield on it.
