Know that many members feel that one should switch to a gold wing etc for this but have fitted the big bike parts stereo from Cruiser Customising to the America. Works fine with the Roadster screen although only a 40 watt unit. Bit of fiddling to get the amp under the seat but will fit. A quick one for the musos in the States. On the video on you tube Kyle Bradshaw plays some music after fitting unit. Can anyone tell me the name of the band as sounds like the kind of stuff I like. The local cop has warned me about having it blasting here on the Island as it inspires senior electric scooter riders to greater speeds!!!!

I know this may be a dumb question to some. But why not use ear buds under your helmet, for you I-pod?

Have tried the mp3 in the pocket with ear buds under the helmet and found the ear buds work their way out-also having the cords running down the neck etc was a pain-can not adjust volume once you get on the road so stuck with the volume unit set at. Using my samsung as mp3 can adjust vol on road-no cords=can change song with swipe of finger. I do not use this in built up areas and only on the open road and adjust when traffic conditions are good. Turn vol off when entering built up area which turns amp off. Phone being charged by bike so no problem with battery. A side benefit is that a incoming call flashes up. As I work on a casual call out basis this is good. Can pull over and reply. Obviously their are many systems out there with blue tooth and all the other fancy ad ons but they cost far more and this works for me. Handlebar mount for phone was $7 from Hongkong and works really well even on bad roads. So,e of these units go up to 500w so do not think you would hear a Mack truck if it was right up your butt!!!
