My sister already picks on me about how much I pack when I visit (there's a twist for you...). She'd have a field day with that one. She would definitely be asking why I didn't just get a 'Wing.

I don't know where I would put the amp, though. The amount of room below my seat is somewhere between nill and none. I can't even fit the smallest of tool kits under there. I'd have to see how much room the battery takes up under the side covers.

Of course, by the time I go through all that, I could just get an Ipod Nano or similar for those few long trips that would make it worth listening to music. My commute to work is only 3 miles. I get maybe two songs out of that distance.

Could you post some photos of your setup? I'm just curious how it all fits together.

In this case, the speakers. It doesn't have an engine. They pulled it and fuel tank to make room for the sound system. It's a bike that does nothing but play music.

Hey sdbrit68 any chance you have a picture of your setup? Mine came in today and going to try to install it Sun. I plan on putting the amp under the seat. Where did you put the volume controller that came with it? Do you have to undo to tank to run any wires? Thanks.

I forgot before I took it to service, I didnt use the volume control , because I could control it directly from the mp3 player.

I did run the speaker wires under the tank, the amp right near my aircleaner under the seat, then a mini jack ( two rca's into a 1/8th ) coming out the front of the seat

its worked well, and made the commute more enjoyable
