    pic 1: stereo components
    audiocontrol eq/electronic crossover (this one was a must)
    eclipse 4 channel digital amp (chosen for it's size and low electricity draw)
    polk audio 5 4/1" component speakers (chose polk audio db series mainly because they are marine certified)
    polk audio 8" sub
    i use iphone as a source

    pic 2 and 3: my half ass fiberglass speaker pods i spent 5 days on them and just gave up on smoothing them out properly and just painted them they hold the 5 4/1" and 1" tweeter.

    pic 4: brp seat covers (i have no problem with comfort of the stock seat and i do put alot of miles. it just looks cheap)

    pic 5: kewlmetal luggage rack

    and countless hours...

    next thing will be to finish sub woofer box and mounted on luggage rack. my goal was to have enough room in the front trunk for tool set, half helmet and my jacket, so sub in the trunk was out of the question, plus i would loose too much sound with sub in the trunk due to engine noise even if i have it down firing, a rack on top of subwoofer box for my golf club bag, either corbin or brp side saddles and electronic fuel management. hopely that will be IT!!!

    I don't know what kind of clearance you have under your seat- but, an alternative to the box would be to mount transducers under the seat.

    I have forgotten about them things. There is no room under the seat but I could mount couple if them under the plastics addition to the sub. One 8" probably is not going to be enough. Thank you^^

    Pretty easy. Stick a flathead screw driver in to loosen the glue and stock grips comes off especially the throttle side since it does not have much glue on it. Just don't use too much glue on throttle side when you install new grip or glue will get inside the sleeve

    They aren't that hard. I didn't do it but watched the process on mine. They make a huge difference to me on comfort.

    I just bought my F1 slider and haven't ridden with it yet. I was a little dissappointed in the slider hardware. They didn't use rubber washers...I have four metal ones stacked on top of each other and the knobs and metal sliders are huge and in the way. I think they can improve on the hardware to minimize the ugliness of it all. I'll post a pic for the others so they can see for themselves.
