Bike Music systems
Anyone have a nice sounding music system set up on your bike? Any reviews of good earplug type speakers or handle bar mounted speakers? Would like to hear from everybody that has a nice music set up.

I too would like some kinda tunes on my bike. I always figured thats for when ya'r riding a dresser, but I find myself jammin out to nothing. I bet I'd really be rockin with tunes blastin somehow.
I am very leary of just iPodding it or really any in ear kind. I wanna hear the outside too man...

I use an MP3 player with a built in FM radio. KOSS makes soft foam ear buds that go in your ear like an ear plug. Works great with a windshield and still works okay without.
for short rides they are a pain sometimes, I usually only use them on rides 100 miles or more. But anything less than that I don't need to worry about boredom anyway.
Nice thing is for less than $100 you have your music and the bike you love without an ugly radio.

Check out this review I posted a few months back... I've got a pair of these in my Shoei RF900 helmet, connected to an XM radio.

I'm surprised someone hasn't come up with a faring for a Sportster with a radio/CD. I've seen an aftermarket one for a Road King.

Well you can try out the Shure ear phone kinda pricey (499 for the top of the line and 99 for the bottom) however they creat a seal in the ear that shuts out noise and they have a noise cancleation sensor built in. hook them to and Ipod ish contraption with a headphone booster and you are scooting. I set up my FF with speakers in the helment fro long hauls and they work ok. (Dont like my FF, HD 50% off deal wind flies up it loud as heck). But it will keep you from hearing the outside world.
