Question Speaker question

I just bought a HARLEY DAVIDSON GARMIN ZUMO GPS and it has an mp3 player in it. They only give you an earbud for it and I can't hear it on the bike, so I want to get some amplified speakers { handlebar mount } to hear it better. Do you guys know of any?

I use Shure E2c noise cancelling earbuds. They work better for me than external speakers.

I use Shure E2cs as well, they work great.

A friend of mine has these on his wide glide and they work well for him:

Also, forum member JRK5892 makes an amplified speaker kit in a fork bag.

To me, the very best speakers you can get on a Harley are these:

I am just curious if you can still hear the traffic around you with one of those shure E2c noise cancelling earbuds.

Default speakers

I have a set of rumble road speakers on my heritage. They mount onto the handle bars and look like a set of reversed spot lights. They have built in amps I play xm from my zumo through them. I can hear them fine up to about 75 mph.

JRK5892, I like those fork bag speakers. I would like to have speakers put in a windshield bag. I sent a private message. Thank you for the heads up MCGLOTHI.

Yes, I can.
I've got a batwing with radio and speakers mounted on a Heritage. I prefer the Shure's.
