Default Mounting speakers in hard bags

Don't know if anyone has tried this or if it will work. I was thinking of mounting speakers in my hard bags on my RK. I don't want to cut holes in them, so do you think I can still hear tunes at speed, or will it just be muffled. I had them mounted to the handlebars,then the windshield just don't care for the look. To me it takes away from the bikes beauty.
Thanks

Rking,

I have seen a lot of people mount speaker in hardbags. The way to go is to mount the speaker facing in, towards the tire and cut several small holes in the bags. This way the holes can't be seen but the music still can be heard.

this is the best option--you will need front speakers -- at speed you can't here them without a 100+ watt amp
