Just ordered a pair of replacement speakers for the Wing[1][2]. Polk Audio ones - much improved on OEM ones, according to them as know about these things. On sale! $69.95 from $89.95. Cor, that's cheap, thought I. That'll be $70 *each* then. Plus postage. Arse. Still, with exchange rate as it is, I guess a ton's not too bad. [1] They've been rattling for a while now, and the cone on the offside one detached completely on the way home from France. [2] 5" speakers, not your run of the mill 5.25". And there's a certain waterproofing requirement, too. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/KH500A8/TS250C |_\_____/_| ..62661../..14297.../..3157./.19406 (>|_|_|<) TPPFATUICG#7 DIAABTCOD#9 YTC#4 PM#5 |__|_|__| BOTAFOT #70 BOTAFOF #09 two#11 WG* \ |^| / IbW#0 & KotIbW# BotTOS#6 GP#4 \|^|/ ANORAK#17 '^'
Marine speakers from CPC might do the job - you're not pumping megawatts, are you? -- Dave GS 850 x2 / SE 6a SbS#6 DIAABTCOD#16 APOSTLE#6 FUB#3 FUB KotL OSOS#12? UKRMMA#19

Apparently[1] these Polk jobbies are the dog's wotsits. I'm not fooling anyone here, am I? Arse. It's on Visa, so it's not like real money, is it? [1] a lot of folks appear to have changed from OEM to these *before* they've given up the ghost, cos the sound quality's so improved. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/KH500A8/TS250C |_\_____/_| ..62661../..14297.../..3157./.19406 (>|_|_|<) TPPFATUICG#7 DIAABTCOD#9 YTC#4 PM#5 |__|_|__| BOTAFOT #70 BOTAFOF #09 two#11 WG* \ |^| / IbW#0 & KotIbW# BotTOS#6 GP#4 \|^|/ ANORAK#17 '^'

I thought the OEM ones were okay meself. Well that is, from about 10 yards away whilst on my own bike, at approximately 80mph.
Yes, indeed I have heard many good things about Polkl Audio.

Just think, you could have bought another shedload of small, obscure and expensive parts for the H1 with the change.

Salad Dodger said... Jesus Christ. I have a pair of genuine Yamaha + 0.25mm RD400C/D pistons here that I use as paperweights. Do you think I'll get 300 sheets for them on e-bay?
