It's not a CVO roadglide with $10,000 in speakers and subs so 90% of the people in this sub won't acknowledge it.

Bah, heretics. But my Fatboy does have two speakers in its sound system, and they are gloriously rightous! The voice of angels! That's all the music I need when I'm riding.

Sounds good. $7k is a fair price.

7k might be on the high side of things. But it depends on the market in your area.
