Great pictorial install. I'm getting closer and closer to putting something together. Getting tired of the Harley amps going bad. Thanks for sharing your skills.

Hey Rich, is Jeff the fellow in Illinois you mentioned?  If so, I need to catch up with him and review his system side by side with mine. Seems the only real difference is the Rokker Speakers vs the Hertz.

Also, the polyfill is a great idea!  Is this the same polyester stuff you can get from Walmart they use to stuff pillows and such?

1st - Thanks Rich!

Rode her home yesterday. The ride back was just over 300 miles. It's nice to be retired so I can make these trips to whomever for quality work on my scooters.

The 1st 70 - 75 miles were in a steady light rain. I experience near perfect riding weather for about the next 70 miles. Followed by approx. 150 miles of 25 mph wind w/gust over 40 mph and the temp dropping. Even with these less than ideal conditions, the music was so sharp and crisp I smiled the whole ride.

I no longer played "guess what song" at the beginning of a new song.  I could clearly hear all the different instruments. Stevie Ray Vaughan, Johnny Lee Hooker, and the rest all sounded great! I could crank the volume all the way up with no distortion. However, just over half way was plenty for the majority of the songs. Now I understand why you'd want a fairing on a Harley!

Great job Rich.

Mrmagloo.....I'm south of you just past the corn fields. Peoria area. Hit me up sometime, I'm usually up for any excuse to ride.

Hey Jeff!  Rich mentioned you were coming out, but I thought it was the end of April?  I must have got my wires crossed up, but I was thinking about taking the ride with you. Anyway, I'm glad you got this squared away. Rich was a great help in getting my system adjusted so that I can at least wring out the best it can do.

I would be very interested in catching up some time and hear these things side by side.  No one around here is running the Hertz and I'm dying to hear them, especially being run by the 125.2. That will present the definitive test between the Rokkers and the Hertz.

Congrats man!

I just had to quote that part of your post... glad to hear you are liking ALL the mods to your SESG.

At least these weren't "d00d's fault

That's exactly what it is; and, also works well in tour pak speaker pods.

I had polyfil in the CVO speaker boxes/housings in the vented lowers for over a year and the bike has been rained on many, many times in that time.  When I removed the Infinity Reference speakers in the boxes/housings to replace them recently with Hertz HCX speakers, I saw no evidence of water intrusion--no mold or anything--and the polyfil looked and felt just as it did when it was originally installed.  Apparently, the CVO speaker boxes are pretty well sealed from rain/water.

Oh contrary - It is your fault (Dood-Voodoo) that I own the SESG at all. Now put my likeness voodoo doll away and pick on Don for awhile.

Thanks Carl - I ran out to Walmart during lunch and they had a big 12oz bag of their Supreme Polyfill for $4.00.  The bag was almost the size of a pillow and will probably handle 5 or 6 bikes.  Thanks again for the tip guys!

Glad to help.  I bought a bag when I did the CVO speaker boxes/housings; it's probably a lifetime supply!LOL.

Great job Rich.

Just tryin' to do you proud, brother!
Although finding and fixing your oil cooler cover was probably enough for that !!

Many safe miles of smiles with tuneage galore.
We need to do an SE Indiana GTG sometime.
