Motorcycle stereo for v-star 650

What the hell makes you say something like, "that'll look good on my handlebars?"

I have this system on my Harley. First off.. The output is barely 50 watts even tho rated for at 250/300 watts, and the FM reception sucks. I have to plug in my Zune to get decent sound out of mine, and the controls are too small and too complicated to use on any cruiser. You have to memorize the buttons on the remote so you don't have to take your eyes off of the road. Shop around before you waste your money on this system. It's ok for a small boat but that's it!

OK for a inexpensive one season system. You might want to try UNiQ Cycle Sounds. They have a 300 Watt system that blow this one away with a lifetime warranty and built in the U.S. by U.S. workers not by foreign workers

Long story. I ended up buying a replacement amp, then I found the ground wire mysteriously got cut. My tester showed I had power, but I never rechecked the ground until I bought the replacement. My bad. Now I own two amps.

[StevelKlatt]

Help. My Shark power light won't come on. Tested power cord and the unit is getting power. Is it fried?

we actually mounted the speakers off of the windhsield support. worked real good then we had to make a bracket for the amp unit. we used the bolts on the tree to hold our bracket just loosed bars and put our bracket in. was tight and we had to trim the bracket alot to get it right where we wanted. when we were done the speakers are mounted on the windsheild and the amp was in the middle. hope this helps and good luck with your bike.
