radios on bikes are super gay. No bass and loud shitty speakers, always turned up too loud. Well, I guess a speaker would go if your gixxer has a chromed out frame and wheels and your swingarm is double an acceptable length...

I have 8 RF Punch 12's mounted in my tank dent. Powered by a late 90's soundstream tarantula amp. MB Quart 5-1/4 components mounted on my fork legs running off an MTX 800 wat 4 channel amp. My bikes little stator can power this all no problem because I run the power wires through a black box with something special in it.

I need a wireless control. I never thought of that. I just put it on shuffle and suffer through the songs I don't feel like hearing.

Zuki750 · 06-03-2008, 02:04 PM

Anybody know of an RF remote for the 3rd gen ipod nano? The normal dock connector ones block the headphones port on the nano.

shayneusaf · 06-03-2008, 02:40 PM

stick w the ipod and headphones man, otherwise its gonna sound like shit when ur rollin, if u can hear it

timleg · 06-03-2008, 04:10 PM

my only problem with the mp3 player and headphones is the fact that i cant hear the fucking music when i ride, i guess my bike is too loud or my mp3 player doesn't play loud enough... you guys have the same sound issue?

I have headphones that fit tight in the ear and my ipod is only turned up a little over half way. I only wear one because I want to be able to hear traffic. These are the headphones I use.
