    My 2013 f6b stock audio makes noise at 60 mph. Cant really make out anything. AM has a snapping noise.
    For a bike that expensive, its not expectable to me. But its the only gripe I have with it.
    One of the reasons for finally getting a wing. Music while I ride.
    Guess I'll try some JBL speakers, I hear their a good fix.
    ITS ALL GOOD

    Several brands are popular as GW speaker replacements and I bet all/any are better than stock.

    Definitely a Popping noise on the AM side. At 50 to 60 all you can here is high pitched noise on FM. Cant make anything out. The wind cancels out the. base. Ive read many other posts saying the same thing. Gonna try better speakers but they say you need a better amp to power them too.
    Gonna get a taller wind shield also. I don't mind looking through it.
    ITS ALL GOOD

    I have an 11 inch Mad5tad and with ear plugs in I can hear the Fm radio perfectly clearly at 75+, on volume level 17.

    Have you tried music from the left saddle bag? I use a stick from there with some of my favs. Also from my I-phone with good results.
