    The 920 got them also, but there is a whole slew of factory original parts that are parts of the installation, for the maxim

    The Virago radio was an option I was unaware of. My friend's virago has a factory fairing, but no radio, and no cutout for one, just storage on both sides.

    I've seen both of those in my searches----

    The red one is one of the three red ones I come across on maxims other than mine--- the black one is one of two black ones I've come across for viragos, and I've come across two black ones on midnight maxims

    The Virago fairing I have has the radio up where the three round gauge recesses normally are with the speakers in the flat spots to the sides. It might not have been the original plan, but I have seen several done this way.

    Here are pics of the Virago Fairing that I have. I got it from him

    I'll check mine to see if it has radio cutouts or anything

    That's the Music in Motion system. I didn't think it was a Yamaha product, but it does make sense for it to have come from their music division.

    Yeah, I was looking to see what kind of accessories were available for the xj originally and saw that one. I was tempted just for the novelty, but I wouldn't really use it, at least not while riding, and I'd be worried about how quickly it would drain the battery when the bike wasn't running.

    The only music that the ear needs is a properly tuned engine.
