Sorry, but back when cages started using idiot lights, I became programmed to think that analog guages were best and just like the way you can read info by where the needle is on the face of the guage.

Has anyone tried the Arc Audio MPAK upgrades?
The youtube videos are impressive. I know they are used by Dragonfly Concepts in their detach fairings.

At first it was nothing.....then idiot lights.....then analog.....and now digital.  Digital is also much more accurate than analog (like analog was to idiot lights.....light years advanced). :2vrolijk_21:

But I realize that we all have different standards, expectations and preferences and that's what keeps it all interesting.

Back on topic.....we (wife and I) ride with stock speakers however, we've added the Hog Pod dash mounted tweeters and are very happy with what we have.

Some of us like the 'visual' of the analog gauge...one reason I've never gone to a digital watch.  Just love seeing the hands/dials move and point out to the numbers.  :) har!  spyder

Don't have a picture of a stock speaker, but here's what a great speaker looks like.  A stock magnet is 1.5-2" at best.
Did you run these speakers with out the amp?

I think I'm pretty much sold on the Hog Pods I really like how they look on your 2 bikes. The black they come in is it the Vivid Black of the fairing?


As far as the gauges I think I'll be going that way too.

I'm with Spyder in that I enjoy the Analog in my street rods and didn't mind it on my Softails I even like the CVO gauges too.  :2vrolijk_21:

I think the Digital modernizes the Street Glide and I like the added head temp reading and oil temp.

I mean it's not like I'm adding Passing lamps or something crazy :nixweiss:
