“As much as owning a motorcycle has become a lifestyle, for many people the roots of music go even deeper in sculpting their lives and who they are today” says CEO Demitrios Karabinis. “Giving riders the ability to bring enhanced versions of both things together at an affordable price was the motivation behind these new additions to our product lineup.”
The MPAK lineup includes multiple factory friendly applications including a mini 2 channel class A/B amplifier that fits within the confines of the front fairing allowing you to upgrade your factory system without the loss of any factory storage space. Keeping factory integration and function in mind, all MPAK kits allow you the ability to retain your factory radio and handle bar controls with a seamless step by step installation process that that requires no cutting or modifying of the main electrical harness or use of complicated interface modules allowing you to retain your factory electrical warranty.
Starting at $399 plus installation costs, the MPAK kits give you the choice to upgrade your system with a drop and swap OEM fit kit (MPAK1) with 5.25” coaxial speakers, an advanced kit (MPAK2) with 5.25” component speakers (requires cutting holes for the tweeters or select gauge removal), or the full upgrade (MPAK3, for Electra Glides) which includes 5.25” components for the front and 5.25” coaxial’s for the rear locations.
