I’ve been wanting this speaker for months and I couldn’t pull the trigger because it’s pretty pricey, and what if you spend all that money and spend time on installation only to find out it doesn’t sound that good or you can’t hear it after hitting a certain speed like some other buyers have mentioned? Well, I finally decided to do it after the weather finally broke and I have zero buyer’s remorse. The speaker sounds absolutely awesome. Installation took about two hours, but that’s only because it took time to research things about my bike and figure out how to best run the wiring; if I had to install this speaker again, it would probably take 30-45 minutes give or take.Once it was on, it was as simple as activating Bluetooth on my phone. The speaker immediately connected, and I was playing music in less than 10 seconds. No issues whatsoever.Others have reported not being able to hear their music over 45-50 miles per hour, which was really my biggest concern. My bike is a 2021 Indian Scout Bobber, 1200cc’s with a Vance & Hines Twin-Slash exhaust. Simply put, it’s loud. There is no wind protection at all. I’ve ridden at 85mph since installing the speaker and I can tell you that I can not only still hear music but I can identify the song, it’s not just noise. Granted, at that speed it doesn’t sound great, but I don’t ever ride at those speeds anyway. At 45-50, it’s clear as day with full face shield helmet on.Being able to listen to my music on the bike has definitely added another level of enjoyment to my riding experience. You won’t be disappointed if you invest in this speaker for your motorcycle.

With a windshield music is easily heard at 80mph.. Instalation was easier than videos made it out to be! On a RK you do not have to lift your tank!..Only issue with the unit is on one of the bans that hold the speaker in the allen screw wasn't tapped fully and would not go in all the way! And kuryakyn basically said O well you're screwed!So the company is zero help if you are in need!

First off, this thing is loud. Even at 70 mph I can hear it fine over the wind. The sound is crisp and clear. Due to the design and size, it lacks some of the bass and low tones but that's too be expected of any motorcycle sound system. The mid and high notes are clear and ear piercingly loud at full volume. (A good thing but I keep the volume a little lower because it gets annyoing).The clamps are the biggest issue. I have 1" bars but for some reason the 1" clamps are a little loose. I can grab the bar and move the whole thing up and down. This worried me because I didn't want vibration causing it to slide down and interfere with steering. So far that has not been an issue and we have some terrible roads around here. I added some thin rubber strips for more "grip" under the clamp and that helped significantly.The install is fairly straight forward. There are 4 wires in the bundle. (Red-power, black-ground, orange- ignition or "turn on", and blue- for another amp but not needed for most people. The power and ground have connectors that slide under the battery terminal screws. I cut the blue wire short and dead ended it. The orange wire was tied in to the tail light (running light, not the one controlled by the brake switch for obvious reasons.) Installation took about 25 minutes.It's a great unit and made entirely of aluminum. Be careful with the clamps around the sound bar, once fully tightened they tend to bend the mesh on the speaker which could cause you to crush the tweeters slightly.I just feel like it's a bit overpriced. I have a ton of bluetooth sound bars for the house and garage. Its definitely a cool unit but the price is a little outrageous for a bluetooth sound bar just because it mounts to a motorcycle. That being said its quality built. Buy once, cry once.

Installation took almost 90 minutes. A lot of fine tuning, wire relocation, testing, etc. Check YouTube for helpful videos - best advice they give is to hold off on tightening anything down until you've made sure it's secure and doesn't impede steering, braking, etc.Recommended electrical connection is past-ignition/ accessory. Finding the accessory wire wasn't easy on a '17 Heritage Classic - orange w/ white stripe, buried in the bundle on the right (pipes) side of the battery, 20 minutes discovery time. Note that when wired through accy / ignition, it won't power down until 30 seconds after main (key / fob) is shut off.Sound quality is crisp, even at 70 mph (behind a wind screen). Like others have noted, there's not a lot of bass. Play with your phone's EQ settings to get a fuller audio mix - R&B sounds decent (on Metallica's cover of "Whiskey in the Jar"). BT Pairing is a breeze, also has USB and line-in / line-out ports.

I love it. I used it on my motorcycle. It's loud as h*ll at a stoplight. But perfect and clear running 80.

Loud. Worth money. Hope it last. Add another pair of speaker I am sure it will blast at traffic

Well packaged, easy to install with multiple options. Sound is excellent even at high speed with either open face or full face helmet. Easy operation even on the move.

Muy buen sonido, se escucha cuando vas rodando no se pierde el sonido. Si sabes de instalaciones electricas la piedes instalar, de lo contrario hay que acudir a un experto. Excelente producto.
