:ride HEY GUYS! IF ANYONE CAN HELP,MY BUDDY WANTS SUGGESTIONS ON PUTING A RADIO ON HIS 105,TH. HERITAGE.DEALER GUY SAYS THE UNIT IN THE HD CATALOG IS A PIECE OF ----.

Used to ride a Heritage. Did not want to add that H-D thing. Not surprised it is a piece of... Curious to know what other options exist out there that are decent. I'm not confident there are any for the Heritage.

If your buddy doesn't mind ear plugs/buds and wears a helmet, on long rides I'll stick an MP3 player/iPod in a jacket pocket, with the music delivered by some outstanding Etymotic ER6i ear plugs/buds. Great sound reproduction, minimal to no wind noise, but can still safely hear the bike, emergency vehicles, etc.

That's what I do..........it works good and it does not mess up the lines of the bike!

I've seen them at rally's etc, but personally have never seen a set-up I liked. Too busy and messes up the lines in my opinion. I use a portable XM/MP3 player from Pioneer with earphones. Mine (several years old now) has 1Gig of storage for mp3's or I can switch it to XM. The remote is programable with 20 favorite stations and I carry the radio in a variety of places (belt, armband, tankbag, etc). Putting the remote in my left pocket, I can find the buttons by feel for switching from XM to MP3's or between 20 presets, including the XM traffic station for my local area. Depending on overhead obstructions like trees, etc I occasionally lose signal on XM, but then I just switch over to MP3's and roll on down the road.

Cycle Sounds amp and speakers plus I use a Sandisk Fuse Mp3 player that has an FM tuner. Works great for me.

I'd use a deck designed for a boat. They are sealed against moisture better.

I was asked by PM for images of the Cycle Sound system on my 08 Heritage I figured I'd post them so all could see in case anyone else is interested.

Looking Forward:

It does lose some volume but it's not that bad especially with the windshield.

a few fairings

Here are a couple of fairings that I have built. Currently I have the one with the 6 X 9s and I also have a pair of 6 X9s in the saddlebag lids. Sounds great at 80mph:eek

I picked up speakers and an amp at  Motorcycle Speakers Audio Radio Stereo CD Player iPhone than found a leather cig holder and put it on my leather bib on my tank. toss my ipod in that and just plug it in. even going 80 mph with a full face helmet on it's clear and crisp.

G K Vessa, check them out. Best part is you can use them when you're not riding. gkvessa dotcom Sunglasses with MP3 players, FM tuners built in, even work Bluetooth.

If he wants tunes tell him to buy an iPod or iPhone, and buy some SkullCandy Titan Chrome headphones. They are the best sounding headphones I've ever heard. Even sound like they got little subwoofers built in them. Very distinctive bass, mid & highs, and no distortion.

I bought a pair going off a friend's recommendation, and he was right. They're the most kickass headphones I've ever heard.
