Looking good Bill, which speakers ya running?

 

[rodekill]

Very nice, looks like a good day for a ride. Is that the 22" shield?

 

[StrykerBill]

Yep, 22" Quick release Star Windshield from the Dealer.

EBay 250 Watt Shark 4" Speakers with Amplifier painted black (I couldn't find a black one at the time).
One speaker blew out and it was cheaper to buy a stand alone replacement on EBay instead of sending it back for replacement. The 3" ones have less bass, and if you turn these up too loud for too long they will blow out. Still, they work pretty good.

80 Degrees and few clouds in the AM, excellent riding weather this weekend here in Phoenix!

How is that windshield working for you, and how tall are you if you don't mind me asking.

 

[safetydanny]

Love the bike man! Very nice!

the windshield reminds me of CHiPS

 

[StrykerBill]

Going to replace the 200 Watt Speakers with some 600 Watt Cone Shaped ones. Now that I see these away from the bike, they're a little too round for the rest of the bike. Maybe they won't blow as easy, we'll see.

Chips? Really? Maybe so, let's see.

I just got the kuryakyn sound of chrome speakers in black, getting them installed later this week. I rode with my my buddy yesterday and I could hear his clear as a bell running highway speeds 20 feet behind him. When I heard his I knew i made the right choice.

I'm 6' tall and the windshield works fine. It gets real windy in Arizona so riding across the desert it helps, especially with the gusts. I think the 2 pointed, dagger looking supports on the sides look cool too.

The Kury Speakers are so expensive at $300, but by the time I replace this Shark 200 Watt, $100, with the Shart 600 Watt, $160, I probably should've just bought the Kury ones. The Shark sounds great but I blast hard rock (70's) and hopefully the 700 Watt can take it. (I don't like speakers in my ears or helmet)

Man, that's some scrubby, desolate landscape you got there. Hope you take along your canteen when you're riding. I had to go drink a glass of water after looking at your pics. Watch out for rattlers and horned toads. Like your bike. I have the 17" windshield and it works fine for me. No bugs in my teeth !

This is desert west of Sun City, AZ, North of I-10. It's about a 30-45 minute parkway ride that is mainly isolated and peaceful, west of the White Tank Mountains, very few cars, sometimes a radar cop. Not allot of cactus at this particular area, but usually there are lots of saguro cactus and mountain scenery that is pretty cool on my rides.

There are beautiful mountains here to ride but there is usually many 18 Wheelers, RV's, Trailered Boats, and cages, everyone headed to the tourist spots, so I prefer more "less traveled" areas - just me and my machine.

Seems most riders here just go from their house to the bar/restaurant etc., park and "pose". As the saying goes, I "enjoy the journey, not the destination".

Very funny, and yes, you always carry water and a cell phone in Arizona. I usually stop every hour or so and hydrate and take in the scenery.

Ride on!

These are just the standard ISO grips you can find anywhere. Usually about $70 bucks. Worth the money.
