If you’re in the market for a sound system but are not ready to spend a pocket load of cash, the Cycle Sounds 2”
Bullet Sound System may be just what you’re looking for. The bullet style speakers mount directly on the handlebars
so no fairing is required. The speakers are water resistant and meet UV ASTM standard D4329. This means your
speakers will perform under all riding conditions. This speaker system requires an MP3 player such as an iPod.The
kit installed here includes two bullet style speakers, a high power micro amplifier with mount and wiring harness,
and all of the needed connectors and wiring. It’s easy to install and looks good at the same time.
Shown here is the Cycle Sounds 2” Bullet Sound System.
This kit includes everything you need to rock out while
you ride.
