They are Bluetooth speakers from Kuryakyn. Honestly they are not all that I had hoped for when considering how expensive the were. Sound is good not great. Even with the windshield, she can only use them at low speeds in town. If I had it to do all over again I would have done more research to find a speaker with a bit more output.

Thanks. Putting some finishing touches now. My wife has done an excellent job picking out all of the parts for this one. It's come along nicely. I've got the front end apart now. She's getting powder coated lowers, caliper and rotor. I think it will finish the bike off nicely.
I used the included 'M8' mount bracket plus Kuryakin # 2285 2pc fork clamps.
The P clamp bolt goes through a hole in the side of the M8 bracket which had to be rounded out slightly. You should be able to see it if you zoom the photo below.
Pros:
These lights are VERY BRIGHT on high and shoot over 1,000 ft. The hi/lo switch uses the high-beam circuit as a signal so it switches automatically with the OEM high beam.
I have 21 months, 7k miles on them with no problems.
Cons:
Universal wiring harness has too much length for li'l Sporty chassis - a minor problem.
They now have other lights with a wider beam, but they don't go as far down the road. These are a 10 degree spot beam.

Thanks for the information. I've been reading on the ADV Forum about the compromises between 10* spots that throw further and 30* floods that spread wider.
During long trips I can be on non-lit roads out in rural areas. I'd like to have a nice spread that throws far down the road. I'll look over your solution. Thanks
