The invention involves a mirror-speaker combination for mounting on a motorcycle. The mirror-speaker combination is comprised of an aft portion and a fore portion. The fore portion is releasably sealed with respect to the aft portion thereby presenting a housing. The aft portion has a concave interior surface. The fore portion has an exterior surface with a mirror-receiving section suitable to accommodate a mirror and with a sound-releasing section with at least one sound-releasing aperture therethrough. The fore portion also has an interior surface. A mirror is attached with respect to the exterior surface of the fore portion whereby a motorcycle operator is able to view objects behind him or her while on the motorcycle. A speaker is attached with respect to the interior surface of the fore portion whereby sound produced by the speaker may exit the housing through the at least one sound-releasing aperture. The combination also has a mounting assembly attached with respect to the housing whereby the mirror-speaker combination may be attached with respect to a handlebar of the motorcycle.
A mirror-speaker combination for mounting on a motorcycle comprising:
In an audio system for motorcycles, a mirror/speaker system comprised of a mirror/speaker housing with a substantially vertical fore member removably attached to an aft member, and both a speaker and a mirror supported by said fore member, said housing mounted on a handlebar of the motorcycle by a mounting assembly, said audio system further comprising a power amplifier and an audio-selection unit attached with respect to the motorcycle remote from the housing, connected through said power amplifier to said speaker, wherein said fore member includes said speaker supported by said fore member in a position within said housing, said fore member defining at least one aperture in a speaker-receiving section of the fore member adjacent to said speaker, and wherein said mirror is mounted to an exterior surface of said fore member on a mirror-receiving section, configured and arranged so that the mirror does not impinge on the at least one aperture.
