    My "budget" sound system consists of a JBL Flip 3 bluetooth speaker that I strap to the center area between the handle bars. Speaker was $80 and a couple bucks for some Velcro straps. This isn't an everyday solution but it works for me on occasion.

    Default Kuryakyn "Sound of Chrome"

    I have installed these Kuryakyn speakers very close to the grips so they are "in my face" so to speak. They are "pretty good" for riding around town and "adequate" at highway speeds. They are bluetooth speakers and I use my iPhone for downloading.

    I'm getting some bluetooth earphones for highway use but I'm still glad I got the speakers...as I said, great for around town, etc.

    Default Shark 4.1 audio system

    I put in a shark audio system. I went with a refurbished model for $124.00. Included amp, 4 speakers, and 2 remotes. It was easy to self install. It also has an SD card port, and audio extension port in addition to blue tooth. I have the started out with the 1400 watt system, had a problem with the display and sent it back for a 2000 watt system for less.

    Default Radio for fs

    I bought a Sena 20s and it comes with speakers for your helmet. Blue tooth to my I phone or has a built in stero radio. Cost is about 250 and you can talk up to 8 other buddies on a ride with a one mile range

    3/2022 Funny thing, I did the same thing on my Spyder F3S, rigged up my JBL speaker to my handlebars with velcro straps. Now buying SSV speakers https://www.slingmods.com/canam-spyd...orks?vehicle=1 for better sound and quality sound.

    The price is a lot higher than the SHARK set-up .... But I agree with the SSV choice of the KICKER speakers , they are quality .... But swapping the speakers for the Shark system are easy to do also .... I bought two shark systems one for my GS and then another for my RSS ... I changed the speakers to ones made by JBL and the sound improved exponentially ..... JMHO .... Mike

    I'm going out on the limb here, having quite a bit of audio experience with both bolt on (multiple bikes) and fixed (H-D) stereo's. With the SSV stereo, you'll likely enjoy at low/mid speeds. 60+ mph, I think you'll find the audio lacking. Hope I'm proved wrong..
