Thoughts and prayers sent for a discovery and a simple cure...

Started riding late in life after my dad passed away...wanted to do things before that happened. Started with a Yamaha 1100 and sold it after a year. My wife did not like riding with me much as it was not comfortable for her. Wanted a RSTD with the V4 and never thought I would need anything else. Ended up getting a nice deal on my 2nd Gen RSV and happy I got that. Took me several months to learn how to ride a V4 compared to a v-twin; now highway I'm in 3rd gear mostly (unless passing) and 4 lane is when I hit forth. The weight struggled early a few times not having my front tire completely straight; the 1100 was far more forgiving. Never dropped it but came close a few times. Comfortable at slow speeds but its still a pig and can do U turns and all. I have switched bikes with buddies (harley riders) but don't do it anymore. Mine rides way better in my opinion!! Looked at Goldwings but did not like the feet position, i can stretch out on mine. Looked at the new venture, if I would pull the trigger that would be the bike for me but not spending the money. Stay with it; the two of you will become close friends!!

First test complete. Put 195 miles on and they performed well. Still playing a little bit with the settings for optimal sound (LOL, how many eye rolls did I just get). I chose them because of they were made with polypropylene woofer cone with rubber surround which is exactly what each of the marine speakers started with in their description and they were less expensive then marine speakers. I'm willing to pay more for red wine, rye whiskey, beer and motorcycle oil but went economical on the speakers that had good reviews. Did not treat with water repellent; just letting them go. Also, someone installed them on his KL1100 and was happy with them at least in town. First ride was a success...thanks for checking in!!

Finally had it with my speakers on my 06 RSV. They were tolerable up until the last ride where they sounded horrible. Ordered the Rockford Fosgate R14X2 from Crutchfield after much research. Just finished with the install and I will tell you sitting in the driveway with the motor reved they sound way way better then the factory installed Clarions. Taking a few days vacation this week and hoping to hit the road (my 5 day road trip was delayed but that's a whole other story) and I will report back for anyone looking at upgrades. Yes I know they are 4" and limited because of size but something is way better than nothing!! Linl: https://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/r14x2/
