i started looking around at the idea of a new radio setup. i was wondering if i could put a cycle sounds setup on my bike. i have the 1100 aspy with the honda fairing. i have seen if you have the vetter fairing with the vetter cycle sounds setup. that makes sense, but i didnt know if it would fit on mine. i didnt see any pics with the cycle sounds and honda fairing. please let me know. thanks

are you talking about the system that bolts to the fairing up above the speedo?

yes i believe so. i think it kind of goes in the place of the volt meter and cluster up there.

They make 2 versions of the Cycle Sound pod. One for the Vetter, and one for Hondaline fairings. They are slightly different...

Be cautious buying one from ebay, some sellers claim it came from a Honda Goldwing, but it may have had a Vetter fairing on it.

I have one I am planning to sell, now that I have a 1500, the 1100 will be stripped down to a Standard.

The Honda pods are hard to find as they don't come up for sale too often. I don't know why.

Some of the fellas around here have made the pods meant for the Vetter fairing work. There are some threads on it as recently as over the summer.

I thought the Honda fairing pods were called Ultra-Sound vs. the regular Vetter fairing pods being Cycle-Sound. I'm probably wrong in this though.

Here's a pic with a 1100I and a Cycle-Sound pod for hope:

Cycle Sound was a company that made sound pods for the Vetter, then later for the Hondaline fairing. My Hondaline pod doesn't even have a name, since the original speaker grills are gone. But I used to have a Vetter Sound on my KZ1100, and sorta liked it.

From Vetter's website:

Why are there two different radio housings: Cycle Sound and Vetter Sound?

Here is the Cycle Sound story: Fred Hoese, a dear friend, who now makes "LeatherLyke" saddlebags, invented and manufactured the Cycle Sound back in 1975. Vetter Corp. sold his Cycle Sound kit as an accessory. When I sold the company, the new owner simply copied Fred's design and called it Vetter Sound. All very embarrassing to me. Fred's Cycle Sound is the only legit unit as far as I am concerned.

i have one lying in my garage just like the one in the pic that was posted above. It came off a 1980 suzuki 1000 with the vetter stuff on the bike.

I have one too lying around that you could have. It's face has been cut to put a normal cd player in it. I'll see if I can't get a pic. It's not new or by any means perfect but I'd give it to you free if you paid shipping.

The one in this link DOES NOT look like the one on my 1978 VETTER WINDJAMMER.

In my opinon, this is for the HondaLine farring, not Vetter.

I'm thinking Hondaline too. Looks like mine too.
