BIKERTRONICS RADIO PACKAGE REVIEW:
The package from Bikertronics showed up today. I spent about 1
1/2 hours, and the radio plus the contorl unit from "BT" was installed.
It took me longer to put my fairing back on the Road Glide. I'm
impressed with the detail instructions. I read the instructions
and only had a problem with the sliding the unit into the Radio
bracket on the Road Glide. Not an issue. Popped the Face blate
off and removed the black filler. I then attached the 4 screws
into the fairings radio bracket. Then put the black filler on
by pushing it up over the braket and then attached the front plate
again. Maybe took me 5 more minutes. The sound is just as good
as my stock Radio. I have full use of my Handlebar Controls.
I really like the USB for the MP3 or IPOD. I'll be taking more
photo's and setting the radio functions in the AM.
I did sit and read the Sony manual tonight. So I have a bunch of things to program in the morning.

So today it's like 44 degrees outside and the bike is in need
of break in miles. I suit up and head out for about 3 hours
of slow riding on the new Motor. Plus the sand is still pretty
bad on the Streets, and I even spun the rear tire twice just
because of sand in corners. So super slow riding is the call
for today. The one thing I did before leaving was play with
my new Sony's settings and EQ. I was really enjoying the ride
and I had the stereo pumping out my custom made riding CD songs.
One guy came over to me when I pulled up to the pump at a local
Gas Station. This guy wanted to see what I was running for a
Stereo because it was so loud for a bike. So I pumped my gas,
and we talked. I handed him an EVO card and told him to call
Troy. Then Off I went for about another 10 miles to get back
to my Home. I was at another light and this guy and girl pull up and
tell me they can't believe that's a bikes stereo pumping out
the tunes. I've pretty much called this Radio change and Tweeter
Pod project a winner. Anyone here want to buy a Harley Radio
for parts.
The true fact is I really wanted to stay with my stock system. I thought I had to stay to be albe to use the factory Radio Handlebar controls
. I'd heard of BT and there Retro systems before. I didn't believe what I had seen in the advertisements. I'd see so many bad installs by what
a friend calls F%$king home owners. Not everyone's dad has a great set of tools! I can't explain in writing how easy it was install my new Radio
on my Road Glide. It's nice to have a fully operating radio system. See ya all in the spring.
