But otherwise for the most part, I am getting what you are with the exception of getting the Kickers in the rear pods vs the Alpines.

If you decide to go aftermarket I just happen to have a BT1005X module brand new in the box sitting on my shelf. Just a thought.

That goes with either the Kenwood or Alpine right? Which HU would you suggest if I did go that route. what do you want for the BT1005X?

Well personally, I'm a Sony man but some good friends of mine who are members here like the Kenwood KDCX998. I've had Alpine's in my trucks over the years but never on a bike. PM me on the BT1005X.

Right?? Man, I know I took some time to decide which way was best for me, but that HogTunes ordeal just left me questioning to many things. The BT4180 will allow me to expand when\if I feel the need. I decided to wait on the aftermarket HU until I see if this suits my needs.

I did an Amp\Speakers in my Tahoe and it was exactly what I wanted. So I decided to start there with the bike.

Believe me, if I am mooonwalking, I'll be the only witness of it.. LOL

I don't know why but I get excited as hell with these post. It's almost like it's my bike and my set up. That's when you know you are addicted. When you get fired up about another guys set up. . . .lol I can't wait to hear your results!

One thing I can see myself getting most likely soon is the lowers. I have never used that lower storage for anything and a pair of speakers in there would be just the right thing to start using them for... :-)

Awesome... Once I ride for a week or two, with my new setup, I'll see if I want to make my first addition to my new audio family... LOL
