I can set something up so I can have music on my bike with a discman or iPod WITHOUT having to install a big ugly fairing to hold the speakers. All I can come up with is using a set of 12 volt computer speakers with plastic zipties on the handlebars or downtube. Problem with that is on the handlebars it would take away from the look of my bike and on the downtube the heat from the engine would melt them and on the highway the zipties would just break from the wind speed. I also do not want to drill any holes in my handle bars or frame.

No idea on the pipes, I own a Suzuki. But I'm sure lots of people will chime in.
Search yahoo for "motorcycle speakers" and then bust out your wallet, if you want nice ones. motorcycletunes.com are decent but large. I think that it's Rumble Road has some very sleek speakers, but they're big cabbage. They would all clamp on to your bars, and most have an amp or speaker connection.
Word of caution- your bike might make a discman skip, and the hard drive Ipod's are known for doing the same thing. If you have a flash memory Ipod, you should be fine.
Or wear ear/headphones, or helmet speakers, if you wear a full-face. One benefit is that it can cut down on wind noise (bad for your hearing), but it's illegal to have earphones while operating a bike in a lot of states.

Simple solution, use the factor type pipes which come on the bike.
If you check online, a man in Houston,Texas invented a stereo which works on HD. It has two speakers that are designed and fit into the bars w/ clamps runs off alt. AA batteries or the 12v system. 120watt system.
Second type of stereo is an Ipod w/ speakers inside the helmet.

I know I answered this before I went to work. Where could it have gone, I wonder?
The quietest pipes to be found are stock.
As far as music, to each his own. I prefer the sound of the wind.
Wait a little while and I'm sure the usual links will be posted.
Some of them are quite nice (if that's your thing).
I gave up on the tunes a long time ago, and don't miss it.

I dont know about quiet pipes but you might want to look into headphones in helmets. There is a very nice rig that not only lets you listen to an iPod but lets you do hands free cell phone calls and communicate with your rider wearing one too. The whole thing fits in your jacket.
