Yup...a tweeter. You pick the other gauge to loose. I use the odometer (trip and range) as my gas gauge so my gas gauge is going bye bye too.

25k 2012 Street Glide from a 95 Ultra. Gotta put so much money into the suspension and motor to make some power and ride worth a crap.
Guess that is the HD way, buy it and build it like it should have been.

Mine would have to be the Cardo Scala Rider Intercom set.
I thought it would be nice to talk to my passenger or other riders while on the bike...what was I thinking?? I'm on the bike to get away from people for the most part.
It has a AM/FM radio and a MP3 plug, but the helmet mounted speakers make both sound like ****. My Boom speakers sound better even when wearing my full face.. I just crank the volume up one bar.

I'll probably put them up for sale on a BMW or Gold Wing board soon.

I did over a 900mi trip to Milwaukee and back with the Air Hawk on my Heritage Springer. No butt pain whatsoever. My son tried it however, and he said his butt got numb after only an hour. He probably needed more air. I'm #205 and he is #350.

Pulling my 255 cams very soon, going for TW-222 cams, and PV.

Maybe someone wants a used set of SE255 cams?
