Harley Bagger Audio for Westminster

We are not in Westminster. AMS Pods is the Harley bagger-audio side of Audio MotorSports, 22025 S Avalon Blvd Ste A, CA 90745. From Westminster take Bolsa Avenue or Beach Boulevard to the 22 west, then the 405 and 710 — 16.4 miles, thirty to thirty-five minutes. Street Glide, Road Glide and Road King, built around the Hertz Neo speaker and a crash-bar bracket that comes with the pods.

Westminster is 16.4 miles from the Avalon pin. Bolsa Avenue or Beach Boulevard toward the 22 west, then the 405 and 710 toward Avalon. Thirty to thirty-five minutes on a bagger. The alternate is the 405 north from Westminster Boulevard, then the 110 and Avalon exit corridor. Ride in or trailer in. Maps pin 22025 S Avalon Blvd Ste A, CA 90745.

Westminster is built around Bolsa Avenue and Little Saigon, which means the main corridor is busy, commercial and slow for most of the day, with an active scene around it that pays attention to how vehicles are put together. Ten minutes west of that the 22 takes you to PCH at Huntington, so the same bike does a dense commercial boulevard on a weekday and coastal air at speed on a Saturday. Those two make almost opposite demands on a system.

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 — the rest is quoted on your bike at the counter. 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 and in the trade since 1998. 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. Connections soldered, because a bike that reaches PCH most weekends is getting salt whether or not it lives at the coast.

Street Glide, Road Glide and Road King. Harley radios in the shop are Diamond Audio, plus Sony and Soundstream. In a scene where people look closely at how things are built, the parts that get noticed are the bracket and the wiring — a made bracket and a tank pull read as considered work, and an adapted bracket with a wire along the frame reads as exactly what it is.

The mistake on a bike that does both a commercial boulevard and the coast is buying for the louder of the two. Set up to beat coastal wind, the same system is unusable on Bolsa on a Tuesday, so the rider turns it down and lives permanently at a setting the equipment was not designed to be good at. Building instead for a short path to the ear means a moderate setting covers the coast and the quiet setting is still clean, which is the only arrangement that serves both halves of the week.

One setup that works on Bolsa on a Tuesday and on PCH on a Saturday. A made bracket and a tank pull that read as considered work. Soldered connections for coastal weekends. Weatherproof pods. Nothing showing along the frame. And bags that come off in seconds.

Bolsa or Beach to the 22 west, then the 405 and 710 — 16.4 miles, thirty to thirty-five minutes. AMS Pods from $649 a pair, chrome or gloss, bracket and screws included, about three weeks built to order. Do not buy for the louder half of the week.

Same bay, same trip. Car audio is LA Car Beats at lacarbeats.com — a Lexus keeps its factory premium audio and its screen. Window tint is LA Car Tint at lacartint.com — 3M Authorized Dealer, Solar $249 and Solar Ceramic $329 installed. Vehicle security is LA Car Alarm at lacaralarm.com — a delivery van and a tuner car are two different jobs.

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

If your Westminster bagger does Bolsa on weekdays and PCH on Saturdays, do not buy for the louder half of the week. Call or text (310) 513-8800 and ask for Nick. 22025 S Avalon Blvd Ste A, CA 90745.
