Author Message   Quaijai Posted on Thursday, September 30, 2010 - 11:40 am:        Hi Buell members, I just wanted to pass on a great stereo speaker system that my son and I have just installed on his XB12R. The system is by Cycle Sound and purchased through RCC Sportbike Co. We purchased a ATV kit because we wanted the larger 2-1/2" speakers with the 150W amp. The system was extremely easy to install. 1 Hot wire to accessory and a ground. Everything else just plugged in. The sound level is incredible! LOUD and CLEAR!!! With the bike running (Jardine Exhaust) and his full face helmet on, he can still hear the speakers! He is using a iPod mounted on the triple tree. The speakers fit perfectly under the fairing without interfering with the controls. Amp is mounted just under the gauge cluster. I will post pictures tomorrow. So if anyone wants to listen to music while they cruise, this is the system to get. Take care and Ride safe!   Wolfo68 Posted on Thursday, September 30, 2010 - 12:22 pm:        how much was it?   Quaijai Posted on Thursday, September 30, 2010 - 12:37 pm:        The system retails for $399.99 but Jack at RCC Sportbike sold it for $345.00 including shipping. They are on sale now. Go to their web site: RCC Sportbike.com   Wolfo68 Posted on Thursday, September 30, 2010 - 01:09 pm:        so is he plugging his ipod directly into the amp or is it like a radio with a built in amp?   Gunut75 Posted on Thursday, September 30, 2010 - 01:21 pm:        Pics or it didn't happen!   Froggy Posted on Thursday, September 30, 2010 - 01:31 pm:        quote: Pics or it didn't happen! +1! I am curious about this setup, I use helmet mounted speakers, partly because it would be clearer but mostly because I am sure the soccer moms on the highway don't want to hear what I listen too.   Wolfo68 Posted on Thursday, September 30, 2010 - 01:43 pm:        also what brands are the components?   Quaijai Posted on Thursday, September 30, 2010 - 05:52 pm:        I will post pictures tomorrow. The system is by Cycle Sounds. You can look at their website for info but it will cost more there. The speakers plug into the Amp wiring harness. The Amp has a male jack that plugs directly into an iPod, iphone, MP3 player. The sound blows away my stock street glide system. With the 2-1/2" speaker size, bass is very limited. The sound is just extremely clear and loud. Thanks for looking. He was using an ear piece in 1 ear but doesn't have to do that anymore. He loves the system. Please check tomorrow for pics.   Quaijai Posted on Friday, October 01, 2010 - 11:03 am:        Hi Members, Here are the pictures of the Cycle Sound System installed on my son's XB12R. Black speakers against the black fairing make the speakers blend in.   Gunut75 Posted on Friday, October 01, 2010 - 11:14 am:        hmmmmmmmmm..............soundclip? just kidding Great stuff there! I like it!   Wolfo68 Posted on Friday, October 01, 2010 - 11:14 am:        I could see it working on the bike with the system, but I think you overpaid for that kit with what comes in it. either way it looks like a nice install (Message edited by wolfo68 on October 01, 2010)
