opinions on adding a bluetooth speaker

[HOSSMAN1]

So there is a brown and red wire going to the accessory port behind the accessory port plastic cover. I tapped into the red wire. I hope that helps

Thx Accessory port? When I remove the battery cover what should I look for? There is a plug with many wires?

Behind this accessory port....I am talking about the two wires that run to this port.

10-4 I had tunnel vision for awhile. I had a preconceived idea. Thx a million for taking the time!

WHAT ACCESSORY WIRE DID YOU CONNECT THE ORANGE WIRE TO?

also, I achieved a lot of stability to handlebar mounting by making the mounts angled...For example:

Just do let me know if you enjoy the sound..... Around town it's wonderful. Highway (70mph and up) it works when cranked all the way up.

I to

It should be able to be mounted given the custom adapters, but I see 2 potential issues with it.

1) It’s rather large and could block the speedometer from view. The example on Revzilla has a tank mounted speedo, so it might be better suited to those style bikes.
2) For the money, a headset in the helmet likely will be cheaper and better sound quality as the speakers are on your ears vs fighting wind et al.

I totally agree with the helmet kit; besides, wouldn't the external speaker system take away from the classic look of the FE?

Thx for the post. The "BMW" speaker looks exactly like the Kuryakyn "Road THunder". The Kuryakyn is a couple of hundred dollars less. I hooked up the Kuryakyn to a battery yesterday and played it a little. It really rocked! great volume! Company who makes Kuryakyn speakers is MTX. I wouldn't be surprised if MTX makes the BMW OEM speakers for BMW also.
