I installed radios for a long time. Take that for what you will. But, I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I am going to add to the consensus that you will not be able to hear it while riding. Further, if the radio has a memory, it will need to be hooked up to a constant hot. The memory is what saves your sound settings and your favorite stations. With the electrical system n the Savage if you have a constant hot you will have a constantly dead battery.

Have a smart phone? most stations have a "on air" broadcast now-a-days.
Our 3 local ones do... I just use my phone browser and headset to listen to them... tune into any station in the area you are in, hopefully they are up to snuff on internet jive....

All you would have to have is a couple of speakers with an amplifier..... and you are in...

LOL, ok, went back and re-read....
Run a hot to your battery, and to the radio, with a fuse in between.
Run a black ground wire to a two pole switch (on/off) and to a ground nearby.
Antenna?.... um... they sell real cheap ones at wallyworld and kmart and radio shack.... you got to figure how to mount them.... same with the speakers.... and they are going to need to be "waterproof".

Sena and a smartphone... or go high-dollar and get what HD puts on their big cruisers. Anything else is a waste of time and money.

Best bet, is speakers mounted in the helmet, connected to an MP3 player...
...but, even then,.. I find that I need too much volume to overcome the wind noise...
Dangerous proposition to your hearing... The wind alone is already at a hearing damaging level...
Earbuds or earphones will cause the most damage, due to proximity to the eardrum...

Try humming... ...

Art Webb:
Why ask us? you obviously think we're dumb for not knowing, without being told, that your system is powered off the bike, not internal batteries, as some are, and uses external speakers rather than earbuds, as some systems do
A '$13 radio form ebay could obviously only mean one particular system, if we don't know the details without being told, we must be too dumb to help you

Hint: use a 'hot in run only source, like the ignition maybe, but don't ask me which one, I'm a dumbass [/quote]

Well... I didnt call you that, but if thats how you take it something must be wrong in the ole' noggin.

Fused at 5 amps.  I wonder if a stock savage has enough alternator output to run that unit without draining the battery?
One of these days I will replace my lights with LED equivalents so I MIGHT be able to run some heated gloves!
