Im not sure about how to go about getting tunes on your bike. Some of the other folks will come along soon enough and give you a plethera of answer or suggestions.

 

 

I just wanted to say welcome to the site and way to go. Jumping on in the deep end so to speak and asking away.

 

 

Wish I could be of help but welcome aboard.

Look at this thread for some speaker ideas.

I have a Sony cd player in the left door of my fairing, and some after market speakers behind the grills. Sounds pretty good, but you can't really play a cd when you're moving...it skips. My cd player does have a plug-in, in the front, to add an MP3 player though.

If you have a Standard the speakers are already in the dash even though there isn't a radio/intercom/tape installed. I'd suggest installing a good marine AM/FM/CD, with an MP3 jack, where the tape deck usually sits in a Royale. I've seen some really nice installs done. There is also a flip open cover available to keep things weather proof.

Here is picture of cheap radio I installed in place of stock one.

 

Was $20 at local junkyard.

 

Took some McGyvering to close up cover that had stock radio in it.

 

I have a separate cover for parking when it might rain.
