This is the first I’ve seen one. Quite pricey! It does not look too complicated to install though, I’m sure it would fit. I personally went with Bluetooth helmets for me and the wife, we can communicate easy and we don’t have to worry about helmet laws when traveling....

Good luck to you if you get it, I hope you love it!!!!

Looking at the specs it may sound pretty good but with only 20W RMS or so I can’t imagine you would be able to hear it at highway speed’s that clear. The Cowl speaker set up I made for my bike has 50W RMS and I can hear it at highway speed ‘s, but if it was less I could not

Dave's correct, you're gonna need POWER to be able to hear your tunes clearly at any speed above 50 mph.  I've never tried this sound bar, but have tried several bar mounted speaker systems and they all sucked. I even road a guys bike who had 2 speakers on the bars and 2 mounted on his crash bar, still could barely hear it above 50mph.

Unless you ride with a tall windshield the majority of the time, you will probably lose sound at highway speeds. Last thing you want to do is run them at max volume all the time and wear out those tiny speakers.

I have this Sound bar and it sounds great, with Freedom Performance exhuast on my Stryker and can still hear this at highway speeds.

With a cowl , the sound is definitely directed more to the face/ears of the rider and will sound better then just the speaker mounted to handlebars !
This is my set up I came up with years ago and it jams pretty good up to 80-90mph
