Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it truly is appreciated. I do listen to FM and cannot afford to lose it. So maybe I need to play around with the radio and I am sure it will be satisfactory for me.
I haven't had a chance to look at anything since my install last Saturday. I am so busy right now trying to finish projects around the house so that I can ride this summer.
The only thing I didn't like about the radio when I drove the bike Saturday night is the glare on the windshield (I have the factory shield on). I did reduce the brightness but still appears. I guess a cover will be coming soon to help this problem out.

So it sounds like I could go with an amp for two front speakers and eliminate my rear speakers and have a better sounding system than what my hogtune 4 speaker system had.
I contacted Haze and we are in discussion.
I can't find thos Infinity speakers on the Biketronics website. When I do a google sreach they come up on other places.

You can also throw a set in the rear pods with a spacer. or go with the Kicker KSC67 in the rear pods. They drop right in.

you can pick them up at sonicelectronix.com, and possibly use their price match feature to get them cheaper. i recently bought a set of alpine type-r and they matched the price i found on another website that was $70 cheaper.

so here is my list
arc audio 125.4 amp
infinity 62.11i front speakers
kicker ksc67 rear speakers
with this set-up I should be able to retain my radio reception and upgrade my sound quality at freeway speeds

Note: The Arc Moto 600.4 is much more powerful and user friendly for $150 more bucks.

Haze has a used arc 125.4 so that's why I mentioned this one.
I played around with the radio last night in the garage, didn't have a chance to test ride. Will report back Monday to see if there is any change. I don't think it will but always start off with the simple things first.
Again I would like to thank everyone for the help you guys provided. If I could buy everyone a beer it would be done.
One question about the infinity front speakers, will they drop right in? I am thinking about doing this in steps. Buying front speakers, then rear and finally the amp if I don't get Haze's used one. Money money money....gone gone gone lol

if they are 6.5" speakers you will need an adapter. if they are 5.25" they should drop right in.
