man, forget what these guys are saying to you. Trust me, they're lying to you. Why would you want a hi-powered sound system which delivers ultra crisp sound, even at 90 MPH. Why would you want that pesky ol' life time warranty. I promise you, all these hundreds of guys who are buying these stereo's are not as happy as they claim to be. You know the ol' saying: misery loves company.

Trust me, do yourself a favor and buy that good ol' Boom system. I'm sure it's way better than that Biketronics. Besides, If Harley sponsors it, it can't be wrong. Right?

You better do yourself a favor and go with the BikeTronics. I did all kinds of research and the BikeTronics lives up to its wonderful reputation. LOUD LOUD LOUD..CRISP CRISP CRISPY.

You will be able to hear these over any loud pipe setup you might have. Group riders behind you will even be able to enjoy your tunes or hate them because of the taste of music.

Oh man, Im never gonna be able to sell my "top of the line" Boom I amp, and Boom speakers now! If it says Harley and Boom, it has to be good. 4 months old, never been played loud (only because it's not capable of it),I promise miles of smiles if you purchase this fine Boom system from me.

To the OP---you're here getting the best advice possible on an audio system for your ride. Take the knowledge and run with it, if not, you'll be back here like myself and others complaining of the poor performance of the Boom system.

I've yet to install the Biketronics, but I'll have a report on the system once I do.

Sorry gang, I couldn't help it. This is in the top 5 of silliest threads. And it is winter and I was enjoying some Gentlemen's Jack while reading this. So a silly thread + booze = My ******** comments. lol.

Seriously though, Biketronics stuff is the way to go...if you're serious about audio. Yes, it is a steep investment but so is owning a Harley. If you're gonna swim, jump in...

Shoot, my Biketronics system blows away my home stereo system and that's embarassing...
