Kuryakyn Road Thunder Bluetooth Sound Bar Plus by MTX
Power Meets the Pavement: Kuryakyn Road Thunder Sound Bar Plus
When you don’t have a fairing to house a massive stereo, you need an audio solution that packs a punch. The Kuryakyn Road Thunder Sound Bar Plus by MTX is a premium, all-in-one audio system designed for cruisers, naked bikes, and even UTVs. This “Plus” version takes the legendary performance of the original Road Thunder and adds more power, better connectivity, and enhanced charging capabilities, making it the king of handlebar audio.
Unrivaled Audio Power by MTX
Inside the sleek, weather-resistant housing sits a high-performance 300-watt peak power amplifier. This amp drives two 2″ x 3″ full-range speakers and four high-frequency 1″ silk dome tweeters. MTX Audio, a leader in high-fidelity sound, engineered this layout to ensure that vocals and highs remain crisp even at highway speeds. The integrated heat sinks ensure the unit stays cool during long summer hauls, maintaining consistent performance mile after mile.
Modern Wireless Connectivity & Charging
Ditch the wires and stream your favorite playlists directly from your smartphone via the internal Bluetooth receiver. Pairing is fast and stays connected even in high-vibration environments. A major upgrade for the “Plus” model is the integrated 1.0-amp USB charging port, allowing you to keep your phone or GPS topped off while you ride. For non-Bluetooth devices, the unit also features a standard 3.5mm auxiliary input and output, allowing you to daisy-chain multiple sound bars together.
Rugged, Weather-Resistant Construction
The Road Thunder Sound Bar Plus is built to live outdoors. It features an IP66-rated housing, meaning it is protected against heavy dust and high-pressure water spray from any direction. The oversized, rubberized buttons are designed to be operated with heavy riding gloves, allowing you to change tracks or adjust volume without ever taking your eyes off the road. Available in Satin Black or Chrome finishes, it blends seamlessly with any bike’s aesthetic.

Thanks to its universal mounting system, this sound bar fits a massive variety of motorcycles. The included heavy-duty clamps are compatible with the following handlebar sizes:
- Standard Bars: 7/8″ and 1″

- Application: Perfect for Harley Softails, Dynas, Sportsters, and Metric Cruisers.
