Harley Bagger Audio for La Habra

We are not in La Habra. AMS Pods is the Harley bagger-audio side of Audio MotorSports, 22025 S Avalon Blvd Ste A, CA 90745. From La Habra take Whittier Boulevard or Imperial Highway to the 57 or 91 west, then the 605 and 710 — 19.5 miles, thirty-five to forty minutes. Street Glide, Road Glide and Road King. Ask for Nick.

La Habra is 19.5 miles from the Avalon pin. Whittier Boulevard or Imperial Highway toward the 57 or 91 west, then the 605 and 710 toward Avalon. Thirty-five to forty minutes on a bagger. The alternate is Beach Boulevard south to the 91 west. You are on the county line, so the sensible route depends which side of town you start from. Ride in or trailer in. Maps pin 22025 S Avalon Blvd Ste A, CA 90745.

La Habra riders have Carbon Canyon a short run east and two loud freeways for everything else. The canyon is the reason a lot of these bikes exist and the freeways are how most of the miles get done, which is the split almost every rider here recognises. Whittier Boulevard through town adds a third condition — slow, among traffic, and where the bike gets looked at. The city itself is flat, suburban and easy, which means the first few miles of any ride are at low speed through residential streets before the interesting part starts — and that is the half of the trip most systems are worst at.

AMS Pods start at $649 a pair. Chrome or gloss, crash-bar bracket and screws included, built to order in-house, about three weeks. Nothing gets invented beyond $649 a pair. A full bagger build is usually up to about ten business days in the shop, confirmed in person.

Richard makes them in Carson, in-house since 2003. Hertz Neo goes inside — small neodymium magnet, weatherproof, clear at volume. Street Glide and Road Glide take a fairing amplifier and a tank pull. On a Road King the pods carry the job and the amplifier lives in a bag on a carpeted board with an AMS quick disconnect. Soldered terminations and lock ties, because Carbon Canyon works a bike harder than the 57 does. The bracket, the crash-bar angle and the routing are made for your bike rather than approximated, which is what keeps the pod in the position it was designed for instead of wherever a generic mount allows.

Street Glide, Road Glide and Road King. Harley radios in the shop are Diamond Audio, plus Sony and Soundstream. Bring the bike rather than photographs — the Glides have different fairing plans and the year matters on both.

Most riders here specify for the freeway because that is where the miles are, and then find the system is wrong on Carbon Canyon where the riding actually matters to them. Pods make the question redundant. The sound comes from close range and is aimed at you, so it is adequate on the 57 without being excessive on the canyon — which is the thing a fairing setup can never manage. There is also a simple test worth applying to any bagger system before you buy it. Ask what it sounds like at a quarter of its capability, because that is where you will actually spend most of your riding — and a system that only becomes convincing near the top of its range has told you what it was designed for.

A system that suits the 57, Carbon Canyon and Whittier Boulevard without being tuned for any one of them. Nothing that works loose after a canyon season. Weatherproof pods. Bags that come off in seconds. And nothing showing along the frame. Something worth listening to in the first suburban mile, not only once the canyon starts. A bracket and a routing made for the bike rather than approximated.

Whittier or Imperial to the 57 or 91 west, then the 605 and 710 — 19.5 miles, thirty-five to forty minutes. AMS Pods from $649 a pair, about three weeks built to order. Soldered terminations and lock ties for Carbon Canyon.

Same bay. Car audio is LA Car Beats at lacarbeats.com — period dashes kept on classics, factory screens on the newer cars. Window tint is LA Car Tint at lacartint.com — 3M Authorized Dealer. Vehicle security is LA Car Alarm at lacaralarm.com — a classic with the 57 on-ramp two minutes away.

Monday through Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Sunday closed. Pods are about three weeks built to order, so the first visit is a measurement and a conversation. A Payment Plan is at the counter once the bike is quoted. Google shows 4.8 from 654 reviews.

If you ride out of La Habra, specify for Carbon Canyon and the 57 at once — pods make that a question you do not have to answer. Call or text (310) 513-8800 and ask for Nick. 22025 S Avalon Blvd Ste A, CA 90745.
