Can speakers, amps, mp3's and such be put on an fjr? Tried to do a search but no luck
There are several options out there for speakers and amps that are motorcycle safe. Most of them run north of the $400 mark. I have tossed aroung the idea of these as Oklahoma gets kinda freaked out if you have headphones in. https://www.cyclesounds.com/ is one of the companies I've looked at. The problem I have seen in most of these is that the speakers are handle bar mounted and set up for the cruiser diameter of 1.25" not the sport bike diameter of 7/8". The only alternative I could come up with was mounting them on an aftermarket dash shelf like the N-Line dash.
Just get a Scala G-4, it has FM, is bluetooth capable to cell phone, I-pod, and GPS besides being able to communicate with another rider.
Unless your trying to pimp your bike and pissoff the civilized world with a blaring boombox...if thats the case, do stay the **** away from me....

Let's face it... if ya want speakers on your bike that give ya any kind of sound worth listening to, it's gonna take a miracle to find the space to make it happen. I imagine that someone might try to turn the side cases into giant custom made speaker enclosures... but look what cha lose... no more usable space in the side cases. Unless your last name is Bose, you need a sizable amount of space behind your woofers to produce any decent bass, and without some bass, I'm just not interested.BTW, amps & speakers are for Goldwings & Harleys, not FJRs.
Of course, that's just my opinion...I could be wrong.
Or........he could just trade bikes with me....and be the proud NEW owner of an OLD (2003) Venture Midnight with honkin big aftermarket speakers built right into his 869 pound fairing!! :yahoo:Just get a Scala G-4, it has FM, is bluetooth capable to cell phone, I-pod, and GPS besides being able to communicate with another rider.

Most cops I know or have met don't give earphones a second look. The reason has to do with modern cars.Just an FYI in ear buds are illegal in most states cause you can't hear a siren from an emergency vehicle that includes in a vehicle also not just on MC. I do like helmet speakers or blue tooth helmet set ups. I have had several MC's and I found if I had speaker they quickly are hard to hear at any reasonable speed. On the other hand my speakers currently in my helmet are very easy to hear.
