Stereo System?

Interesting...I just read a review last night on one of Garmin's motorcycle specific navigation systems. This new one automatically pairs up with your cell phone and you can even dial and answer using the large Garmin touch screen. It also has a tire pressure monitoring system option.

I wouldn't mind the speakers if I had a larger motorcycle or a large fairing but I'm trying to keep the KZ kind of sporty looking, even though this one will be my tourer. Great idea with your Gold Wing, by the way.

Okay, so I'm using what I have and what I'm used to. It is however kind of old school. If you have a smart phone I think you could just use a navigator app, a radio app or Pandora and a bluetooth headset in your helmet. If you want to use your phone you will need a headset with a mic. You may need to find a handle bar mount for your smartphone. Don't forget to bring your chargers on trips.

For me, I still think I would have problems with the volume since I also use earplugs. My guess is that any Bluetooth headset maker will limit the volume to avoid ear damage litigation.

The size of the speakers is why I decided not to install it.

jakedude: You can get ear plugs with a built in "ear bud". It's those molded ones they sell at bike shows and gun shows. The pour goo in your ear and it sets up as perfect custom ear plugs. They can also embed an earbud or bluetooth device as well.

Surefire makes a bunch of different earplugs, some have the ability to add a listening device. Think "Secret service cord in the ear" thingy.

Hi!

I have one of the "Made in China" "stereo system" installed on my ride.
Good: it is an alarm too, plays radio, SD and USB
Bad: I have a jumper cable with me all the time :laugh:

When I'm riding, I'd like to hear the surroundings and engine noise( my ride is +30 years-You never know)

greetings

I also ride with earplugs and have no trouble hearing the music or phone conversation with the Sena. It's not loud with earplugs in, but still easily heard.
