You might be able to fit a Road King Fairing to it. That way you could have the radio, satellite, and CB together.

You wanna what??

Seriously,

Nolan has a helmet with bluetooth built right in, add an adapter to your music box, now you can have stereo in your helmet without looking - er - strange. You can also use it with your bluetooth enabled phone.

I would go the in the helmet route. You don't have to find space on the bike, you don't have to worry about weather, and you don't have to blast everyone else out to hear your music. It always cracks me up to hear a Gold Wing or geezer glide with the radio blaring.

It's like strapping a calliope to a rock crusher.

Be careful what you wish for Ustorgue; Touratech HAS a handle bar mounted dash computer that will do GPS, trip planning, MP3's, internet surfing, email and play DVDs for camp side viewing. Its only 1995 at the buy it now rate ;)

Another vote for headphones from me...

ALTHOUGH

If you could find a way to taistfully add a great stereo to the XB, it'd be pretty cool! But that could very be impossible.

Scala FM Rider. Works pretty good. It won't get loud enough to drown out traffic noises and the hands-free phone connection has good quality. I've talked to people and they didn't realize I was on the Bike until I told them.

Hmm... couldn't you mount some in the air cover? You would probably have to go with the open filter mod to free up space. It would require some custom fabrication but I bet it could be done and look cool (if you think that kind of thing is cool) That would be more fitting for an over-the-top show bike than a daily rider.

If you just want to have tunes get a good mp3 player and use headphones.

Bikes with stereos blasting are just as obnoxious as the idiot kids in their thump-thump cracker box cars.

I won't put up it near me.

Whats wrong with cup holders? I had one on my Ulysses. Works great, never lost a drink even doing wheelies. : )

As for speakers, that was my next step but i never got to it.

Anyone installed a cotton candy machine the their xb? I saw it on pimp my ride for a car.
Or how about a automatic rose dispenser machine to pimp the honeys with.

Cotton Candy machine? That’s a good idea. I did have an electric cooler on my Ulysses.

B+O do a bluetooth enabled micro speaker set that will slip straight into the ashtray mounting bracket.
