I don't want to fill my saddle bags either. I think a small amp and a subwolfer that can be removed if needed in one saddle bag sounds like the way to go.

Does anyone have the J&M speakers? I was thinking of starting with that upgrade and see if I need more.
How big of an amp (RMS wats) can you add for the J&M speaker upgrade? How many (RMS watts) does the stock stereo have?

I think I maybe happy with a larger windshield and the J&M speaker upgrade for now. Then add the amp and subwolfer later.

From my test rides one with the stock windshield and several with the honda accessory larger windshield with the vent the larger windshield is key to stereo performance.

I am going to buy the bike next week and ride from St Louis to either Colorado Springs or Panama City for my first ride at the end of March.

I need to order a few upgrades ASAP to get them in time for my trip.
