Can I hear that at 80 MPH

Here it is 4:45 PM on a Friday and the traffic on north bound 395 is just flying along. Normally it is gridlock rapidly turning into parking lot by this time of the day. I can only think it is a testimony to the reduction in the local work force. Like watching your mother-in-law driving your new car over a cliff, I have mixed feelings about the reduced number of commuters. Fewer commuters means fewer workers, and that eventually means fewer dollars to spend at Reno Harley-Davidson/Buell (not a good thing). It also means fewer opportunities to be put in harms way by a ton or so of metal trying to occupy the same space I am in, on my scooter (not a bad thing). Either way it makes me want to get out there and ride very far, very fast. Which brings me around to, "can I hear the radio at 80 MPH?"



80 seems to be a benchmark for a majority of bagger buyers. If you can hear the radio at 80 then life is good I guess. I almost never am asked "can you hear the radio at 120". I am thinking that at 120 you are mostly focused on riding the bike not rocking AC/DC. What ever the speed you need to listen to music you can do it on your Harley. Now you can sample that sound in the Reno H-D parts department. Our new speaker display features a bat wing fairing with a Harmon-Kardon advanced audio system and a set of J&M after market fairing speakers.



The J&M speakers are in my opinion the best you can buy for the money you spend. Each speaker has a water-proof molded polycarbonate woofer and two tweeters. Each speaker is designed to handle 140 watts! The stock audio system puts out 40 watts per channel. ( I'm thinking an amp here) The speakers are direct replacements for the stock speakers. They just bolt right in. Stop in at the parts department and give them a listen, because yes, you can hear the music at 80 MPH.

Hear! Hear!

One of the nice things about late winter in northern Nevada is getting in the new products for the spring. We receive new stuff almost everyday this time of year. One of the new products we got in this week is from Hog Tunes. Their new product is called the Tweeter. It fits on your fairing.

The Tweeter is designed for the H-D batwing fairing and mounts on the dash area over the speedo-tach. It is, as the name implies, a pair of one inch tweeters that deliver mid to upper range sounds. The kit is easy to mount, comes in satin black to match the stock Harley inner fairing. It is paint ready if you have a gloss black or color matched inner fairing. the wiring harness is plug and play.

Easy to install at home, the kit comes with two sets of speaker grills, and a drilling template for perfect mounting holes. The tweeter is warranted by the manufacturer for 20 years. Stop by the Reno Harley-Davidson/Buell Parts Department and have a look at the Tweeter Pod.

Half the Wheels. Twice the fun
