Default You've gotta love it when

people listen. Going to be doing an upgrade for a guy who knew he wanted to upgrade but really had no idea of what's what. Starting point, 2006 Street Glide with stock everything. The stock HU that no longer has a working display was his motivation. Had him over to hear my setup and let him know his option. First, I had to prove to him that I was only running two speakers. That made me smile, lol.

So after the rundown listing the pros and cons of his different options and getting an idea of future plans...of which he has none...so he says now. He's going with the Sony MEX-M70BT, Biketronics 7.1 Pros, and to save himself a little cash the B2 with Metra install kit and ASWC-1 for the hand controls. I'm thinking he should be a happy camper for quite some time and will ultimately be satisfied with what he's getting. I did try to talk him into the full BT package but that was just a bit outside of his budget. I do think he picked the right places to save and the right places to spend though.

No doubt Mike! That's what it's all about! He will be a happy camper with that set up!

Exactly. Without the help of good people, I would have been lost a long time ago.
