From the Shop

Bagger notes from the Carson bay

AMS Pods writes about the bikes that actually get built here — speakers versus amp versus pods, Road Glide / Street Glide / Road King as three different bays, Hertz that ships, pods built here since 2003. Same shop as Audio MotorSports: 22025 S Avalon Blvd Ste A, Carson, CA 90745. (310) 513-8800. Monday through Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Sunday closed. Zack runs the floor.

Hertz Neo is the speaker in the pods. DS18 and Cicada if you ask; we still recommend Hertz Neo. No JBL kits. Softail is allowed — same family as the Road King. We do not write Sportster or metric posts. Build Your AMS Pod starts at $649 a pair, about three weeks, chrome or gloss. Signature and Elite stay quote-only.

You already know the shop from YouTube. Riders ship bikes. We do not need a city list. Payment plan is Snap, Qualify, Easy Pay, and Synchrony — the terms live on the payment plan page. Nick at the counter. Richard has been in the trade since 1998. Read a note, then come in with the year and the model.

What we will not write

We will not write a page per city. We will not start a Sportster or metric series. We will not put JBL on a Harley post. We will not invent Softail prices. Softail stays because it is the same family as the Road King and the real clip is on the channel. We will not drop-ship a pod and call it in-house. About three weeks because they are built here. Hertz Neo is the recommend. DS18 and Cicada are the honest alternative conversation, not the default.

Walk-ins Monday through Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Sunday closed. Speaker swaps can be same-day. Pods take the three weeks. Shipped bikes are paid by phone before they leave. Google has the shop at 4.8 from 654 reviews. If the note you need is not in the cards below, call with the year and the model.

Cards below are the current bagger notes. Read one, then book the bike. Same address. Same hours. Same Nick at the quote. Zack on the floor. Hertz Neo in the pods.
