Harley Bagger Audio for Marina del Rey

We are not in Marina del Rey. AMS Pods is the Harley bagger-audio side of Audio MotorSports, 22025 S Avalon Blvd Ste A, CA 90745. From the Marina take Admiralty or Lincoln to the 405 south, then Avalon — 14.9 miles, thirty to thirty-five minutes. Street Glide, Road Glide and Road King. Ask for Nick.

Marina del Rey is 14.9 miles from the Avalon pin. Admiralty Way or Lincoln Boulevard toward the 405 south, then Avalon through the South Bay. Thirty to thirty-five minutes on a bagger. The alternate is Washington east to the 405 south. Ride in or trailer in. Maps pin 22025 S Avalon Blvd Ste A, CA 90745.

The Marina puts a bike a few hundred yards from open water, which is about as much salt exposure as anywhere on this list. Most bikes here live in subterranean structures, which helps with rain and does nothing about the air — a parking structure by the water is full of the same marine air as the street above it, just without the wind to move it along. The riding is PCH north and the harbour south, both steady and both coastal. The channel roads and Admiralty Way are the low-speed half of it, ridden among pedestrians and slow traffic most of the year, which means the system spends more hours near the bottom of its range than anywhere near the top.

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 — weatherproof, and here that is not a marketing word. 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. Every connection soldered and sealed, because this is the most corrosive environment we build for. The bracket and the crash-bar angle are made for your bike so the pods sit matched rather than approximately level, which on a bike kept this well is the difference between a clean job and a nearly clean one.

Street Glide, Road Glide and Road King. Harley radios in the shop are Diamond Audio, plus Sony and Soundstream. For a bike kept in a Marina structure, the still air is the thing to account for — moisture that does not get blown away sits on everything, and that is harder on connections than a windy street is.

A subterranean garage feels like protection and for a motorcycle it is a mixed result. It keeps rain off, which helps, and it holds still, humid, salt-laden air around the bike for twenty-two hours a day, which does not. Bikes kept in Marina structures frequently show corrosion that street-parked bikes a mile inland do not, and the difference is airflow rather than shelter. Owners in the Marina often ask whether a dehumidifier or a trickle-charger setup in the space helps. Those help the battery and do very little for connections, because the air still moves through the structure and the corrosion mechanism is chemical rather than a question of standing water. Sealing the joints at build time is the only part of this you actually control.

A system that has not corroded after several seasons a few hundred yards from open water. Sound that holds up on a long PCH run with a steady crosswind. Weatherproof pods. Bags that come off in seconds. And connections that were sealed for the environment rather than for a catalogue. Pods that sit matched rather than approximately level. Connections sealed at build time, which is the part of the corrosion problem you actually control.

Admiralty or Lincoln to the 405 south, then Avalon — 14.9 miles, thirty to thirty-five minutes. AMS Pods from $649 a pair, about three weeks built to order. Every connection soldered and sealed for the most corrosive environment we build for.

Same bay. Car audio is LA Car Beats at lacarbeats.com — convertibles tuned top-down and terminals sealed for salt. Window tint is LA Car Tint at lacartint.com — 3M Authorized Dealer, edge to the gasket. Vehicle security is LA Car Alarm at lacaralarm.com — subterranean structures and dock parking.

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 your bike lives in a Marina structure, still humid salt air around it for twenty-two hours a day is harder on it than a windy street would be. Call or text (310) 513-8800 and ask for Nick. 22025 S Avalon Blvd Ste A, CA 90745.
