Bought the Series 1 system from a local dealer and installed it on my 2009 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Silverado. Sound was good but with Cobra drag pipes got lost a bit at higher speeds. Sent an email to Cycle Sounds on Sunday to describe my situation and in less than 2 hours the owner, Ed Files, replied and told me he would call me in morning to see what we needed to do. Talked to him the next day and realized I needed the 3" Premium System for my situation. He got it out to me next day and let me tell you it is everything you hear about. They sound great and no lack of sound at highway speeds. Besides the great sound system I have to say I am impressed (and releived) to know there are still companies out there that understand without happy customers they do not survive. It was a pleasure doing business with you guys and really appreciate the attitude that you care. Enclosed a couple shots of my bike as well. Best regards, Scott Sweeney Evansville, Indiana |

When I got my bike 2 years ago I knew I wanted music. I was thinking of purchase a different system but a sales person told me I wouldn’t be satisfied with the quality. I decided to wait and use my headphones with my ipod. The headphones just didn’t cut it. The 3” handlebar speakers were the perfect product to add to my ‘08 Kawasaki Vulcan. It was great hearing my music on the highway and other bikes wanting to know where I got my system. I was happy to tell them that Cycle Sounds has a great product and all of the employees are wonderful to work with. When I had a problem with my system, I called them and they were happy to tell me to come by so they could take a look at the problem. It was great that you took the extra time and effort to analyze and fix the problem. Everyone helped me get my music setup the exact way I needed, always helped me with a smile, and never pushed me away if I asked a silly question. Thanks again! And I can’t wait to see what comes next in the line-up! Tivonya Olathe, KS |

Self/Owner Installation on Harley Davidson 2009 Heritage Soft Tail Classic: Originally ordered the 2" speakers which were great but the 3" are definitely needed for cruising out side of city traffic. Cycle Sounds were fabulous is honoring the 100% guarantee and worked out an exchange within days just in time for annual The Roar on The Shore in Erie, PA. One of the vendors inquired as to where I got them and was happy to refer them to you guys. Installation was a breeze and very "clean." ANYONE installing on the Heritage should be highly encouraged to get the swivel mounting adapters for a bit easier speaker mount. Also highly recommend the thumb volume control. Mark J.

Thanks for your help and for convincing not to buy the “other” brand! The installation was a breeze on my Road King Classic. It sounds awesome and looks great! I have already been complimented by other bikers who are also considering the same unit. I’m sending you a picture so that you can see how awesome and clean it looks. Take a look at the volume control under the left side chrome blinker housing. Rather than using the supplied bracket I decided to use 3M double back tape to attach it. It looks like it was always there from the factory. One extra benefit with the music is that my girlfriend moves and grooves on my back a lot more!! Thanks again! Joe Mazzuca |

Recently, my wife and I were on a trip to Sturgis. During the middle of our trip our sound system went haywire. Realizing we were passing close to your store on our return, we gave you a call and brought the bike to you for repair under our warrenty. All your people were great!!!!! Your service people offered us soda's and took extra special time for us to locate and fix the problem. The owner's special attention in taking time from his routine to personally explain the problem my system encountered, what caused it and especially how to prevent any further problems was something I should have received during installation from my local store and was greatly appreciated and helpful. It was great to also get a personal tour of the new concepts and products that will be out soon. I left with almost an entirely new system to include an extra speaker just in case for future problems if they ever happen and all on warrenty. Your company is really great and a model for others. I love your product. The sound system never sounded more clear or better than after your personal attention. Thank you. Joseph C. Pupsta Cordova, TN. |

I couldn't be happier with the new 3" speakes I purchased for my '09 Harley Road King Classic from your company! The installation was very simple and the directions were right on. The system is everything Ed told me it would be, especially the part of not being able to play them at full volume while driving at 90 mph. The sound clarity is outstanding at all levels of the volume range and at various speeds. Thanks again for all your help in selecting this system. I can't wait to see what products you come up with next! Tom Maue |

We just wanted to thank you for the installation of the 3" system on our Heritage Classic. This system ROCKS!!
We tell everyone about it and show it off at every stop. Other riders cannot believe the sound and clarity of this system while goin down the road at 75 mph. They can hear my Ipod over their own Ultra's or Street Glide radios. I had a minor problem with 1 of the speakers and it was replaced pronto at NO charge. Now that's SERVICE!! We will have the satellite radio additions added within the next month or so. Again, thanks and when at the Lake come see us. Gary and Carla Fiene Camdenton, Mo |

The new 3" speaker system rocks. We are telling anyone we meet about your speaker system. It was very easy to install and we had it up and running in no time. Thanks for all your assistance. Jerry Reik |

Okay, first I wanna say THANK YOU! I contacted the dealer I got the system from and he swaped me out to the 2.5 inch and, yes, they sound great and don't look too bad either. I still like the chrome grills alot better, but anyhow thank you for all your help and thanks for responding so quickly. You have a customer for life and you have done the toughest job in todays world and exceeded my expectations! Larry Palin |

I received the system yesterday, installed on my bike last night. Drove the bike to the office today and the system sounds great, I could hear the music much better than the 2" Dock N Rock system I used to have. I could hear the music perfectly even over my Vance and Hines exhaust. Thank you very much for going above and beyond and getting me everything I needed as quickly as you did. Awesome customer service!!!! Wes |

I purchased the 2.5" premium sound system in hopes of a small, yet powerful and clean sounding system to go with my satellite radio. The installation was easy and clean. I took to the road to check out the system and I was totally amazed at the crisp, clean sound coming from this speaker system. I road at speeds of 65 - 75 mph and could still hear the words as well as music from the speakers, without blasting at full volume.
I would highly recommend this system to any motorcycle enthusiast who wishes to add sound to their bike, yet keep it clean looking. Harold Seiple |

I am compelled to write and let you folks at Cycle Sounds know how I feel about your product. I purchased the Army Turn Signal covers and I absolutely love them. They are extremely well made, sharp looking, simple to install and are the envy of all my Army friends. These covers have set my bike apart from all the others. If you are a potential customer and thinking about buying these covers for your bike my advice to you is to stop thinking and just buy them! You will not be disappointed. They are worth it! Thank you Cycle Sounds! Brian Lince 22 Year Army Veteran |

I wanted to thank you for our recent purchase of the 2" plastic chrome speakers. You wanted us to give them a try and man are they great. I purchased them before Thanksgiving and wasnt able to try them out on the road until the weekend after. The sun came out it was a little chilly but a great day for a ride. They were easy to install and man did they have a great sound for such a small speaker. The Ipod just plugged in and there was no helmet or ear piece to mess with. My wife and I both could hear great; I even had to turn it down a little. Run up to over 75 miles an hour and could still hear great. We did travel the back roads for most the trip and I was thinking how can I get my wife to buy me a set for the boat. Great Price and Great product. Thanks again Chris Russell |

I emailed you a few weeks ago explaining how my husband broke my new speaker for my motorcycle. You said to call you but I was unable to get with you. A gentleman named Bill I believe, assisted me and was aware of the email I sent to you. Bill took care of me and you folks were kind enough to replace or fix my speaker despite the fact it was our fault to begin with. That type of service is rare and I wanted to express my sincere thanks to all of you for helping me out with my new purchase. I only hope the speakers are as good as your customer service! Thanks again and I will definately recommend your company to friends, family and any others I speak with. Christina Ammons |

Thank you so much for the personalized service this morning. My husband (Bill) and I have truly enjoyed having your product. Although we have previously discussed how having a radio system on a motorcycle takes away from the enjoyment of the actual ride, we have found your speaker system to be very enjoyable and it actually looks good on our 2008 Road King Classic. Your salesman at the Lone Star Rally (I believe his name was Bill) was excellent and very patient in promoting your product. Your installer was also very patient and held up well working as long as it took to meet the installation demands. In these days of personal service, you get a thumbs up from both myself and my husband. Thank you again and we will recommend anyone looking for a similar system to Cycle Sounds. Bill and Brenda Lichenstein Katy, Texas |

Who says the tailpipe has to be the best sounding accessory on your crusier? Now you bikers can enjoy your music while cruising down the highway. Cycle Sounds makes compact, bolt-on sound systems for motorcycles that include two speakers, a 50-watt amplifier, and a handlebar mount for your MP3 player or satellite radio. The two chrome aerodynamic bullet-style speakers act as directional drivers which broadcast the sound toward your ears. These UV- and water-resistant speakers mount to your handlebars and have 2" aluminum drivers that provide amazingly clear sound over the noise of the wind and the road. The tiny 50-watt amplifier delivers the power you need to drive the speakers from the headphone output of your MP3 player or satellite radio. Chrome mounting brackets and bolts, power and ground harness, and wire connectors are included. Gadget Grid.com |

It was great to meet you and Ron at the Bike Ralley at the Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri. I want to thank you again for the great deal you and I were able to agree on regarding the purchase of the audio system, including the brand new 3" speakers, the chrome amplifier, the mounting bracket for my iPhone, and the volume control switch. Your company technician Ron, did a great job with the installation of the entire system, taking just about 1 hour. The installation was done extremely well, with all the wiring harness, and other wires neatly and carefully installed. The positioning of my iPhone bracket is also perfect. I enjoyed listening to the music that I have downloaded onto the I-Pod application on my iPhone for the 3 hour ride back to St. Louis after I left the ralley. The music sounded great! The system works great! I am extremely happy with everything! Dan Schroeder |

I want to commend you on your product and customer service. It was simple to install, sounds good, and you know how to treat customers with respect. There are so many different waterproof speaker makers on the market; I didn't know what I should buy. I'm certainly glad I picked your product and have already recommended it to others. |

I recently installed the new CycleSounds enhanced speakers on my bike. I already had the two inch Two Wheel Tunes speakers on the bike. They were OK for cruising around town, but were not loud enough for high speeds on the expressway. I installed the new enhanced speakers the night they arrived and hit the highway. I have not turned the volume on my IPOD past about 20% of the volume. The sound does not distort as the volume is increased. The speakers continue to sound good and rich as the volume is increased. At 20% of the IPOD's volume, you can hear the crisp sound 75 feet away. However, they are still small enough that they don't look intrusive on the bike. The new speakers are much louder and sound a lot better than their predecessors. Garrie Butts aka: PaPa Rider |

I of course spent last night installing the system on my bike and only had a chance to take a quick ride around the neighborhood to test them out. All I can say is no one could rightfully call you a BS'er!!!! You were 100% right, there is no way I can listen to those speakers at full volume!!! It is truly amazing the difference between the 2" and 3" speaker. The sound was crystal clear, but almost piercing. My wife decided to jump on the back and ride with me (usually she is on her own bike) and for the first time she was actually able to really hear the music and make out the words. |

Just wanted to update you and say thanks. Received the new amp and all is well. Looks amazing in fact you would never know I have a stereo on the bike except that when I turn it to Ear bleed, then there is no mistaking it has one. I appreciated the phone call from the owner, he definitely pointed me in the right directions to truly customize this and make it a real part of my bike. By the way if anyone else needs a little more room on the handle bar mounting screws... ACE Hardware M6-30's do a great job, not only did they work like a champ but matched up with the originals. Did I mention they sound GREAT? Well they do!!! Clean, crisp, good bass from AC/DC to Led Zeppelin the never failed to amaze me. Enclosed I sent a few photos to use as you would like for your site. Again thanks and rock on!!!!! Pat Delly 2008 Softail Custom |

A few months ago I purchased a speaker system including an MP3 mount for my Low Rider. I love the system, it sounds great. Janice Kalliavas |

All I can say is excellent job on the upgraded speakers. They sound awesome, look great, and make riding even better. I also appreciate the outstanding service that you and your team provide. You guys are a first class operation. |

I've been listening to my 3" premium speaker system for a month now, and I have nothing but praise for this system. The quality of sound and workmanship is excellent. If you've been looking for a system for your bike, then look no further than this system! Two thumbs up! Chris Webb |

They sound and look great. I'm still working out the mounting of MP3 player (right now it goes in my vest pocket). I'll figure that out when I return from Iraq. Anyway, thanks again and it is so nice to have music when I ride Bill |

About two years agoI purchased a Two Wheel Tunes kit. Because I love Nascar about as much as I like riding my 06 Road King Custom, it didn't take long to take a bit of Ed's advice and go with an Xact-XTR1 / Sirius Radio Receiver. Yes, many companies offer different types of receivers that will work great, but I did choose this as it has bigger buttons and easier to push with gloves on. After installing on my H/D and falling in love with my new installation of having tunes, I soon realized I needed to purchase one of their volume controllers that mount near your handle bar controls. Man after doing this I was good to go, riding with tunes and listening to Nascar for about two years, I'm in pig heaven!! Then I was surfing on the internet, and I see some claim that states a company called Cycle Sounds is selling a new 3" speaker, guaranteed to kick butt over the standard 2" speaker. So I purchased them. I had to do a bit of changes to the way I mounted them because the 2" speaker had their own little brackets. So I added the new 3" speakers to my already mounted 1" aluminum round bar, as shown. As you can see, I used standard 1" brackets from my handle bars to attach to another set of brackets, to the round bar. The round bar is where I mounted the receiver, speakers, clock and temperature gauge. It don't look too bad, what do you think? So, I'm writing this, to tell those that haven't heard Cycle Sounds new 3" speaker that they do kick butt over the 2", and well worth the money to upgrade or change to. I had a little concern with one of the new speakers, cosmetic, but Ed suggested to sent it back and they will take a look at it. By the time they received it, reviewed my issue, I had a new speaker, in hand with in 3 days! You can not beat the service Cycle Sounds gives their customers, its incredible! They sound so much better, have more volume while really not taking too much more space and truly look awesome! My friends thought I got a completely different radio system because of the difference in sound! Thanks Cycle Sounds, I love your new 3" speakers! You can't have them back!! Tom Covington, Wa. |

I just wanted to update you guys on my upgraded speakers. I'm one who can say experienced both set of speakers the 2 inch was good for city riding and then i found the 3 inch upgrade. Now i'm very satisfied with my systems the speakers looks and sounds incredible. My wife and I both can here the music at 80 on my harley with my loud pipes and my iphone is only turned up 3/4 the way. Valerie was very helpful and I must say between Ed and Valerie customer service was A+. Thanks I will be sending you business. I will be taking my Harley by to the harley shop so they can hear how it sounds with my new speakes. A must for anyone who rides. |

I would like to say that I am absolutely thrilled with the Cycle Sounds 3" system. Everything about this system is first rate quality, from the wiring components, to the finishes on the chrome which make an attractive addition to the bike (HD Heritage Softail Classic) with out being gaudy or "clumsy". Most imprortantly though is the qaulity of the sound. Even at top speed with loud pipes the clarity of sound is amazingly clear. This is a great product and would recommend this system to anyone. |

My wife just recently purchased the MA2 Hogtunes speaker system from a friend of ours who owns a motorcycle shop for my birthday. After I got them installed on my bike, I found that you could not hear them going down the road. The sound quality was also terrible even when sitting still. I got in touch with Hogtunes and they told me that there was nothing that they could do. They said the speakers were not designed for the highway. The person that we purchased them from now has to eat the cost because they refuse to take the speakers back or refund the money. I would not recommend that anyone purchase these speakers from the company Drag Specialty's because they will only back up these speakers if they are broke. I just purchased your 3" speaker system and I hope that they do everything that you say they will do. |

I just wanted to drop you a quick line. I finally got a chance to install the new speakers you suggested, and I have to say, they were everything you said they would be. After installing them I headed straight to the highway. I thought I had a different system on the bike. They were loud as hell and had great quality sound. |

Your Premium System has been installed this past weekend and is working perfectly. The sound is loud and clear, and even with an open helmet, that does not reduce the wind noise, one can hear the music very well. The riding experience will be even more delightful from now on. Thanks a lot. |

It sucks to get down the road and forget your Ipod. That bike doesn't ride worth a damn without the music. |

Well I got my series system installed the other day and could not believe the sound that came out of it! Hooked up my Garmin Zomo GPS with the mp3 player to it and all I can say is WOW. Music is GREAT and GPS turn by turn street names comes through fantastic! All I have to do is listen and enjoy. Thank you Cycle Sounds! You have a great product and everyone who see's and listens to it thinks so to. Keep up the good work! |

Had the 3" system installed on my VTX at the R.O.T. Rally last weekend. The staff were excellent - efficient and friendly. The system sounds great, very good volume. I wasn't prepared to purchase a system, so I didn't have a media device with me. Thanks to you I had one before I left your tent! The ride back to Oklahoma was made more pleasant for the tunes. |

After riding with the 2" speakers for almost 3 years and being a little disappointed I visited your booth at the R.O.T. Rally. Ron Gambell helped me with a set of 3" speakers for an upgrade. I am blown away! No more straining to hear my iPod on the highway. I now find myself reaching to turn them down a bit. These are top notch units. The quality of the speakers shows in the sound. Added bass, lack of distortion and added volume were well worth the cost (Ron also cut me a great deal). Thanks for a quality product at a fair price |

I just installed my new 3" sound system on my 2003 Indian Chief and I wanted to let you know this is the best add on item that I have installed on the bike. I also bought the volume control and ipod charger to complete the install. I can't tell you how pleased I am about the quality and how clean everything looks. I would like to also add that your customer service is A+, this was all ordered by phone and the sale went perfect. Keep up the good work. |

I just wanted to drop a quick note and say thanks for the replacement speaker. Your customer service was first class, and quick. In this day and age everyone seems to have time to complain, but no one takes the time to say "Thanks, job well done."
