Could you tell me the exact model i need?

I think here in Europe there are only avaliable the J&M and the Hogtunes, so thouh they are not the best, which of them are better than the others?
Thanks.

Yes, but you should strongly consider buying a mounting kit from Biketronics or Hawg-Wired.

As for the Alpine headunit mentioned in your later post, I doubt that the Biketronics or Hawg-Wired interface unit (a plug and play device that allows you to control the headunit with your handlebar controls) is compatible.

Good luck with your project.

If you buy infinity or jbl makes sure they are not the "oversized woofer" models, the surrounds will be squashed by the mounting bosses of the speaker molding in the batwing. You will see what i mean if you don't heed my warning. What you want is a traditional 5.25" sized speaker.

Got a K Mart special mounted in my standard. No mods to anything, just some spacers etc. here and there.Didn't bother with the hand control package. Don't need it. Also mounted two "bug eye"?? speakers in the guage holes at the bottom of the inner fairing. Perfect fit and four speakers is better than two.
