https://www.venturerider.org/forum/discover/VentureRider - All ActivityenGood morning to all. With the weather looking good in the 80's and dry, it will be mostly riding for the rest of the week. Yesterday, I am so glad to at least put down my first application of fertilizer. The only downside is that I was sneezing all over the place. The pollen count is on its way up and will stay there for a week or so. Ride Safe all.Tue, 14 Apr 2026 13:34:28 +0000To answer the question. No, I do not have the bag speakers. I debated that option for a while but decided against them. The stock system was almost good enough so I decided to just upgrade the fairing speakers and add the 500 watt amp. I’m not at all disappointed. The sound is much cleaner and plenty loud. On the 40 minute ride to the shop, mostly freeway and 70 mph, I had it set on full volume. On the ride home after the upgrade I ran mostly at 50% volume and the sound was great. He was prepared to do the bag speakers if I wanted to but of course it would have meant I would have given up my bag covers, cutting the lids, etc. I like the bag covers and the demo I listened to convinced me that I would be happy with just the fairing speaker, dsp, and amp. I didn’t want to lose my covers and pay another $1,000 for the bag speakers, larger amp, etc.Tue, 14 Apr 2026 11:21:07 +0000I kinda like to hear the motor purring along. I have the same tape in the tape deck from when I bought the bike....Molly Hatchet. LOVE "Dreams I'll Never See".Mon, 13 Apr 2026 21:51:54 +0000Does your bike have the saddlebag speakers too?

This way you have someone to push the bike.Fri, 10 Apr 2026 22:23:17 +0000we run out a tank of gas today, was going to follow a route that I hadn't ridden in a long while and ended up missing it somewhere so we just followed the front wheel. It was a good ride but I'm glad it was just Trina and I.Fri, 10 Apr 2026 20:57:17 +0000I pray that mother nature brings some rain showers in the forecast and you'll be able to ride in the near future. Hopefully next week will be better for you weatherwise.Thu, 09 Apr 2026 22:26:29 +0000Snowed here in Woodstock Ontario Canada yesterday, not alot just enough to almost cover grass and road!
