Works Perfectly on an Indian Scout
Installed and works perfectly on my wife's Indian Scout! Installs easily between the handlebars and the windshield, if any. Indian includes a spare wire from the ignition. Whatever connector that is fits with the connector provided by Kuryakyn. No manual splicing needed, at least on an Indian bike (and probably most newer bikes). This way, it's wired into the ignition so the speaker turns off when the bike turns off.The speaker system includes a USB port for charging your phone or whatever you want to use it for. The sound quality is great to me. I don't know a lot about sound, I'm not a musician, I've never installed aftermarket speakers in a car or truck, I don't generally jack with equalizers (because stock is fine). I'm not a sound fanatic. To me, the sound quality is better than a lot of motorcycles with fixed fairings that have speakers. Does this sound ok? Yeah, sounds great and rich to me.We play streaming music and mp3 music, both from a phone. I connected the phone to the speaker over Bluetooth. The Bluetooth connects easy. When I mute my radio on my motorcycle, I can hear my wife's Road Thunder music from her bike, probably 6-8 feet away. It's plenty loud and we've never had it anywhere near max volume. No complaints. Solid purchase. Sound snobs might find something to whine about, as you can see in other reviews, but I honestly don't understand what they are talking about.

Good sound quality at 55 and below
Pros:Decent sound quality and easy connection to phone.Built in controls for navigating next/previous tune and raising/lowering volume.Connects directly to the battery and starter line to only come on with the bike being on so it doesn't kill your battery.Built-in USB charger to charge up your phone/device for those long hauls.Water-resistant electronics are great for all-weather riding.Cons:Not the best at freeway speeds but decent for running around town (in ref. to volume).Price is a bit high for something that can't be used for all types of riding.I put over 20K miles on a bike with one of these and the quality never lessened. There aren't many cons. I know the sound quality isn't as good as the Plex but the USB charger makes it blow the Plex away.

Awesome but overpriced, watch the handle bar mounts
First off, this thing is loud. Even at 70 mph I can hear it fine over the wind. The sound is crisp and clear. Due to the design and size, it lacks some of the bass and low tones but that's too be expected of any motorcycle sound system. The mid and high notes are clear and ear piercingly loud at full volume. (A good thing but I keep the volume a little lower because it gets annyoing).The clamps are the biggest issue. I have 1" bars but for some reason the 1" clamps are a little loose. I can grab the bar and move the whole thing up and down. This worried me because I didn't want vibration causing it to slide down and interfere with steering. So far that has not been an issue and we have some terrible roads around here. I added some thin rubber strips for more "grip" under the clamp and that helped significantly.The install is fairly straight forward. There are 4 wires in the bundle. (Red-power, black-ground, orange- ignition or "turn on", and blue- for another amp but not needed for most people. The power and ground have connectors that slide under the battery terminal screws. I cut the blue wire short and dead ended it. The orange wire was tied in to the tail light (running light, not the one controlled by the brake switch for obvious reasons.) Installation took about 25 minutes.It's a great unit and made entirely of aluminum. Be careful with the clamps around the sound bar, once fully tightened they tend to bend the mesh on the speaker which could cause you to crush the tweeters slightly.I just feel like it's a bit overpriced. I have a ton of bluetooth sound bars for the house and garage. Its definitely a cool unit but the price is a little outrageous for a bluetooth sound bar just because it mounts to a motorcycle. That being said its quality built. Buy once, cry once.

This Speaker is Phenomenal
I’ve been wanting this speaker for months and I couldn’t pull the trigger because it’s pretty pricey, and what if you spend all that money and spend time on installation only to find out it doesn’t sound that good or you can’t hear it after hitting a certain speed like some other buyers have mentioned? Well, I finally decided to do it after the weather finally broke and I have zero buyer’s remorse. The speaker sounds absolutely awesome. Installation took about two hours, but that’s only because it took time to research things about my bike and figure out how to best run the wiring; if I had to install this speaker again, it would probably take 30-45 minutes give or take.Once it was on, it was as simple as activating Bluetooth on my phone. The speaker immediately connected, and I was playing music in less than 10 seconds. No issues whatsoever.Others have reported not being able to hear their music over 45-50 miles per hour, which was really my biggest concern. My bike is a 2021 Indian Scout Bobber, 1200cc’s with a Vance & Hines Twin-Slash exhaust. Simply put, it’s loud. There is no wind protection at all. I’ve ridden at 85mph since installing the speaker and I can tell you that I can not only still hear music but I can identify the song, it’s not just noise. Granted, at that speed it doesn’t sound great, but I don’t ever ride at those speeds anyway. At 45-50, it’s clear as day with full face shield helmet on.Being able to listen to my music on the bike has definitely added another level of enjoyment to my riding experience. You won’t be disappointed if you invest in this speaker for your motorcycle.
