Ok here's my question, has anyone ever seen or wanted a radio/cd type player that would install in the bin where you can install a gen-u-bin type product. You could power it off the charging port right above the bin area an it possiably could be portable. Speakers could be on eather side of the bin and could be contained in the product. Slide it in secure with two screws lik Gen-u-bin pull retractable charging connector and enjoy the tunes. If this exist please let me know if not who would be interested?

There's not something like that specifically for the Buddy bin, but there are products that have been installed like that. Generally an amplifier in the bin, then speakers wired up and on the headset or mounted to mirror stems.

I don't think a CD player would work very well: too much bounce/vibration (more than in a car), plus the challenge of where to put your CDs and how to change them while riding.

That's why a cassette deck or 8 track might be a better way to go. Magnetic media, FTW!

Basic Radio May be the way to go.Check this out. I do not own this bike or pic but that would be really sweet.

hey.... am I in a different dimension???

I know that you are from Ohio, but MP3, and other formats are the current trend. CD's? Radio? 8 track??? Just wear' Astral Tunes'

,................ but where will you find 8 track music. ??

eBay, garage sales, in the back store rooms of the few record stores that still exist.

I have seen many 8 tracks in the local Valley thrift Store. Plus I listen to Radio much, much more than any MP3.

Ok I got it.... Look around for 'Astral Tunes' in those same locals. I was skiing with the 'Sony execs" at Squaw Valley and the president, whose name I cannot remember saw the SV, invention. He leaned over to his associates and told them ...in English, if we can make this pocket sized .... and that was the beginning of the conceptualization of the cassette player .

I agreed with killa_ed, even I prefer to have radio rather than installing MP3 to it... Much more easier to have it on bins also!
Well was wondering from where did you purchased it?

It is a potential project I may invent just wanted to see if any interest was there.

ANYTHING that diverts your eyes away from the road will be much appreciated by those waiting for organ donations.
