Installed the Boss Audio MC600B 2.0 Amp/Speaker system to my DLX. Wasn't too bad. One speaker had it's mounting hole sized wrong for the hardware provided so I need to address that later as each speaker is mounted with a different size/head type bolt but other than that, not bad for what I paid for them ($86 shipped to my door) last week on Jet.com. Have the amp and BT controller in the windshield bag and disconnect right behind top of nacelle. Only thing on the bike are the speakers and the 12v power.

Reviews are mixed (Amp fails often per Amazon.com reviewers) and if they fail I won't feel too bad about taking them out back for a "Office Space", copy machine beat down and then I'll order the Uniq Cycle system.

Sound is OK, haven't ridden it yet but its not as loud as the Shark system on my RKC though I have them mounted to the crash bars vs the handle bars as I like that look better. We'll see once I get them on the road as the exhaust on the DLX is pretty loud but wasn't looking for concert venue sound anyway. As long as I can hear it enough to know the song and listen along, it's all good.

I finished making my solo saddle bag and installed some freeway bags.

Wow, go easy on the left turns or else whoever's behind you is going to be picking tools out of their teeth! Nice bag.

The bag zips up securing/hiding the tools, so no worries about anything falling out.

I didn't expect you would ride with it open, it's just that it hangs pretty low. Still, looks good.

Doesn't hit the ground even with me scrapping my floor boards in the turns.

I like that rucksack....passed it along to a friend with the same bike. Clever idea and handy storage!

I like it! A lot! Nice touches too, like the paracord on the sissy bar.

that is awesome, would look good in black too. also love the sissybar idea.

did you bolt the bags to the bike or can they come off without taking the bolts out? is there a brace behind the bag? where did you get the bag?

The 2 bolts have to be removed to take the bag off (I didn't want them to come off too easily)

There is a metal tube frame supporting the bag (it is hidden in the bag) and a piece of sheet metal in the bag as well to keep the bag from flapping.

I made the bag.


Here is the sheet metal in the "tool storage" area and the metal frame sits in a pouch behind that.
