This is great that you could install them yourself. I have run into plenty of speaker sets that were such a pain.

I like the pictures in your post, especially the one with the horse crossing picture.

No it has a usb port for a thumbdrive. All digital, no aux port. No distortion at high volumes.

I have heard that Harley Davidson came up with a fix on the 2009 models. I recently had to change out another bracket and indeed the new one looks like it is reinforced. On another note, I have swapped out the Harley Davidson Advanced sound system for a Sony Stereo with all of the modern goodies. I will review it soon.

I have looked at the Biketronics kit. To be frank, the Electra Glide is the first motorcycle I have ever had with a stereo. When I ride, I use a full face modular helmet with ear plugs now because of my tinnitus or ringing in the ears.

The only time I can really hear my stereo on the road is when I am going low speed.

I weighed to cost v. benefit of changing out a perfectly good system for a better system (not too sure about how the Biketronics Sony stereo works in bad weather). I decided to keep the stock system and go with better speakers.

Now if in the future Bikertronics comes up with a lower cost solution that includes a built in SD card or mini hard disk for my entire music collection, then I may re-evaluate my decision.

For now, the stock Harley Davidson advanced sound system with the Hogtunes speakers is sufficient.

I am using the Harley Davidson Advanced Sound System. However, I have seriously thought about going with an aftermarket stereo solution. In my opinion the Harley system's technology is way behind what it should be. However on the upside, I have ridden through rain, had my motorcycle sit in rain overnight, etc., and the system keeps working. I guess in the end that is the main thing! I have ridden 10's of thousands of miles and the Harley system keeps working.

You may just want to call a dealer like Chicago Harley where I got all of my parts. They most likely already have the solution.

Good Luck,

Yes read my main article. I got my hidden antenna from Crutchfield online, it was actually an amplified antenna for cars. Go to their website and do a search.

Ya you have to make sure that you use the Hog Tune speakers with the correct impedance.

Never heard of them. Do you have a link?

I have heard the same thing Mike. There are even some guys on the net selling a very strong version of the bracket. So far mine are OK since the replacement and I ride long distances real hard if you know what I mean. We will see how it goes.

As you found out Bryan, taking the fairing off is not as bad as it seems. Just make sure you put a towel on your fender and socks on your light bar if you have one.

You do not need the Amp. The stock Harley system is just fine. As a matter of fact it is more than loud enough to cause you hearing damage at high volumes.

You cannot go wrong with the Hogtune speakers.
