OK, I’ve read so many posts on what works and what doesn’t work to reduce the buffeting effort. So this weekend I’ll install the fork baffle (58520-79tc) and the chrome wind deflectors (58121-85B) on my 09 EGC.

Question for you guys that love your tunes. Is there any improvement in sound quality when touring on the freeway? I have a Hog Tune amp and front speakers but the freeway sound tends to be muffled.

Thanks

 

I have Hog Tunes amp, speakers & Hog Pod and the biggest factor in hearing the stereo @ freeway speeds was adding fairing lowers & fork baffle (added at the same time so don't know which helped most). If you don't already have it, I highly reccomend the Hog Pod!

 

I was pretty suprised at the fidelity difference after installing the LRS classic flip-up windshield. I'm running the stock HK, J&M speakers and no amp. I don't think the fork baffle does much - I had added that previously and it's effect was minimal. I think you have to be realistic in your expectations though - but you are certainly on improvement track!

 

I am running J&M's with no amp, changed the windshield to a 6" Windvest and the sound improved but nothing drastic. I do want to improve the tone but no sure in tweeters are needed or just an amp.

 

You may already be using them but....foam ear plugs. It's counter-intuitive but it works.

 

I'm with RodeDawg There cheap and easy to install too!

 

I agree with the ear plug theory. I was using a half helmet and bought a Bell Custom 500 and can now hear the radio more clearly. It cuts out the wind noise and the sound waves still penetrate.

 

I would never had thought of that. I guess I can use that as a reason when the wife ask why am I putting in ear plugs.

 

Since I installed my WindVest recurve I can hear it a lot more clearly. Biggest different on how I hear mine and how you will hear yours... I wear a FF helmet.
I don't get anywhere near as much wind noise. Adjusting the visor up and down plays a major factor too.

That being said I have the stock stereo with a 40 watt amp. Nothing fancy no high dollar speakers. Just a question because I don't know do you have AVC set to suit your riding?

 

I'm on a 2010 SG and never bothered to put the radio on because I couldn't hear anythhing whatsoever. Changed out the stock wind screen for the new HD 7" with recurve and wasted $160 bucks. Installed the Klockwerks 8.5" Flare and it made a world of difference. Just about eliminated all the buffeting and I can hear the stock radio just fine now on the street or at highway speeds. Definately worth a shot.
