The Hogtunes arrived today and I installed them. First impressions: I'm not all that impressed. They're louder, they're clearer, they sound better, BUT, and maybe it's just the nature of the beast, there's still too much road and exhaust noise at speeds over 30mph to have a pleasant listening experience.

I only tested them for a few minutes around town, so I'll reserve final judgment for a few days.

BTW, putting the outer fairing back on was a pia. Whoever took it off last stripped out 3 of the six screws, and lining it up by myself was fun and games. Not hard, really, but just awkward and annoying. Finally got it on, but those silly plastic edge liners are now coming loose. Don't know what their purpose is, other than cosmetic, because they certainly don't seal the juncture between the two pieces of plastic. A strip of black electrician's tape would be a hundred times more effective if one wanted to keep the water out.
