Music Options on a Freewheeler FLRT?
Hi Guys,
I'm a new Freewheeler owner. Had it about three weeks. 2021 snake venom. After a few rides to get used to it, I'm now comfortable with it and ready to enjoy it. I've searched for threads related to music options and haven't found much specific to the Freewheeler. Any suggestions? I'm a low tech man and not looking for anything fancy or complicated. I'd just like to listen to some music while I ride. I appreciate any suggestions and/or advice. Thanks.

Easiest solution? Bluetooth earbuds with music from your phone.

Air Guitar?
Unfortunately, I lack the skill to play Air Guitar while riding motor cycles (two or three wheels).Originally Posted by Hub
So I don't listen to music while riding.
Music? Like from a box? Wah....Ive had a full blown Rolling Stones concert playing in my head since '71. "War children..its just a shot away its just a shot away"
I use the music to 🎶 cancel out the voices in my head while I’m riding…😉..

I use a cardo freecom 4 with Bluetooth from my phone. Sounds excellent in my full face helmet. The phone lives on my handlebar in a RAM mount.

I listen to music when I'm in stop-n-go traffic. Otherwise the sounds of the road satisfy me.
One of the reasons I chose a Freewheeler, was it's lack of a radio. The sound of the wind and the exhaust note is the only music I need.
The "For Dummies" book advises against playing Air Guitar while riding motorcycles, so I bought a Freewheeler rather than a Tri Glide.
S'plain please.
One must play Air Guitar when listening to Rock 'N Roll
Some persons (such as myself) are unable to keep motorcycle wheels down while playing Air Guitar.
I just turn on the cruise control and then I can play a guitar..!.. Try giving it a shot it’s challenging, but it can be done.😉😉..

2019 Tri-Glide.......
Yes, I understand the need to play air guitar while riding, but why Freewheeler versus Tri-Glide? I mean I could understand that you bought a Freewheeler instead of an Electra-Glide, but Tri-glide? Is there something that makes the Tri-Glide so unstable that you can't play???
Back in 2011 I was looking to buy my first Harley Trike…And I wanted the FLHXXX Street Glide Trike….I didn’t need a radio but that model was discontinued so I ended up with a triglide.. Once I got used to music on the Trike I can’t live without it. I have all my music on a thumb drive 4700 songs on the continuous loop.. Remember what they say music soothes the savage beast…..👍..

Also new Freewheeler owner and added outstanding tunes, intercom, and phone service all controlled by a really cool handlebar mounted remote. Intercom is voice activated and everything Bluetooth’s to my phone.

Kury Road Thunder
Kuryakyn Road Thunder is a wireless Blujetooth sound bar with an Aux input (cable). Mounts between handlebars....the tube is aimed towards the rider for sound. I used one on a Softail and had acceptable sound...this was 6 or 7 years ago, so imagine more power..."arr, arr, arr", and improvements in the last few years.

A new option just available. Trade in required? Or do it as a add on.

Cheap DIY music Freewheeler
For less than $100 I bought two Surgeboom 2 bluetooth speakers and two handlebar mount drink holders. The two speakers can be linked for stereo. Charge the speakers, put them in the cupholders, connect your phone to the speakers, turn on the music source and ride. They last about 4 hours on a charge at max volume. Plenty good for a morning or afternoon ride. There is a youtube video of a guy doing a similar thing on his bike with a JBL bluetooth speaker. I just doubled down on the speakers. My two speakers make enough volume for anything but the interstate which I avoid anyway.
