Default Finally Pulled the Trigger

I ordered my BT2180 and BT7.1's today. I've considered just about every combination of recommended amps and speakers on this forum and the road always leads me back to Biketronics. I'm sure that just about anything would sound better than the stock HU and speakers, but I had to go with my gut and I don't think I'll be disappointed. In the next month or two I plan on upgrading the HU to the Sony MEX-GS810BH.

Thanks for all of the information and direct feedback on this forum.

Congrats Man! Great decision! Be nice if you could get the HU at the same time. That will give you the full effect of th system right out of the box.

I know, I would really love that. I'm trying to balance my audio needs with the need for a J&S Lift.

Thanks for all your input, Gannicus.

Man if you can swing it, just bite the bullet and get that HU now. It'll be easier because your fairing will already be off. And, if you ask nicely, maybe Bill will give you a discount. Also, you'll need the retro radio kit in order to continue using your handle bar controls.
