    While at the Texas Lonestar Rally, I was at the J&M booth with some friends.
    They had some Harleys with their amps and speakers. They sounded better with the rokker series than my buddy's 7 1/4 speakers from J&M
    Rokker did something else.
    Was really clean crips sound, all way to the top.


    Man the rokker sounds good.
    They are expensive but sound good. Made just for Harley Harmon Kardon systems too.
    Was told they offered a lifetime warranty on their speakers and they operate on 2 olhm.
    Their booth was full too.
    Didn't realize how many different products they made.
    The speakers never distorted either.

    I have had so many headsets from J&M over the years that went bad I have a box full of broken headsets for Honda's and Harley's. I wouldn't buy nothing ever again from J&M. Never had a Harley headset ever go bad.
    Get the Rokker speakers sounds a lot better.

    To each their own. If you look at the bikes around, there are more baggers out there than about any other bike.
    And baggers comes with a radio.
    You can turn yer radio on and listen to it, or turn it off and listen to yer stereo.
    A lot of us that has gotten Older are startin to git quieter pipes so we can hear the stereo.
    Great for long rides to hear some tunes.

    You will need the HD Bomm

    Home

    And you will need to run audio out and
    mike into the 550, might have to upgrade to
    650.

    If you can upgrade to Road Tech, then you can get the HD mount
    and the HD NIM (Nav interface mod) which allows the nav to work
    with the radio on any function (aux, am/fm, cd, ipod) when it
    is giving instructions.

    The bomm will work between the 550 and the Aux input
    you might want to put a rear Aux port on the HK, it's pretty
    simple to do, or you can send it out.

    Do you know the difference in the Zumo 550 and the Roadtec

    The Zumo 550 comes with everything for the motorcycle and the car.

    The road tech only comes with stuff for the bike. Its a stripped down model that HD gits more money for.

    Send it out to who Iron CRoss.
    I just read the link on the HD bomm.
    I just want to make the HK radio bluetooth so I can pair it with a bluetooth headset.
