Waterproof FM Stereo

[irish2themax]

I would like to add "sounds" to my Spyder but I don't want to spend a lot of money. I'm not interested in bike to bike or passengers comms...just music.

I found the following on e-Bay:

Motorcycle FM Radio Speaker Stereo Amplified Waterproof

I like the idea of small speakers. For the price, I'm willing to give it a shot.

I'm guessing this is one of those deals that you get what you pay for. :dontknow:

You might be better off with a mp3 player and ear buds.

I think it's J&M that has a "Tune Bag" at 40W. Should do the trick - decent price & easy to pop off & put in the trunk....

Tunes on Spyder

This is not necessarily a cheap option but I have a Garmin Zumo with Garmin XM antena that plays into into a Nolan N Com helmet. Excellent sounds and infinite amount of tunes, talk or whatever available via XM. The XM plays through the Zumo as does a blue tooth device such as a phone.
Not cheap however but first class. I think the Zumo (which is a surperb GPS made for cycles) is in the $600+ range, the antenna another $250 and the Nolan with N Com around $700. I have had mine now for over a year so these prices might not be current. Probably less expensive options out there but what's a few bucks when it comes to toys. I'll spend now and go cheap on my casket. :roflblack:
Hope this helps.

Thanks Joe...I think I just may go this route. The videos are the selling point when I could listen to the sound quality. Where did you mount the main amplifier unit so that you could easily switch modes? Do you have pics?

After doing a lot more net searching, I have narrowed my decision down to the Jensen JHD910 Heavy-Duty Waterproof Mini AM/FM/WB Stereo and their 3.5 inch black speakers Video on the stereo is at http://video.google.com/videosearch...ni AM/FM/WB Stereo&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wv#

I seen people electrify the OEM tank bag. What if you mount couple of speakers onto its sides and turn it into a removable stero bag? And the map pocket can be the iPod holder / display and leave the amp / tuner inside the bag.

I had an amp & speakers from cyclesounds on my Spyder. Speakers went right on the black part where the bars came out (I think there might be a thread in here somewhere when I took pics). Speakers were pretty good. You don't get a radio though - I had to hook up my mp3 player which worked great. I took it off because my 2 bros. pipe is so loud, no need for music. Now I'll use earbuds if I want tunes.

I don't have it, but noticed on the Kuryakyn web site they have a tank bag with built in speakers and connections for radio, MP3 player, etc. with storage.

Do not remember the price though.
