I am selling my 2010 Street Glide and buying a 2016 Limited and have been making a list of things that will move over to the new bike and things that wont.
Since I do not have the new bike yet to see for myself, I'd figure the wisdom of the forums could help.
The Street Glide had the Biketronics 4-Speaker setup (Fairing and Lower fairing) and a BT2180 amp. Will any of this fit on a 2016 Limited?

Bt2180 yes. You will need to get BT355 line leveler
Fairing speakers if 6.5 inch yes
Lowers should work not 100% positive
Good to know about the amp as that's probably the most expensive piece.
Lowers will not work as the bike is a "wet head" so the speaker space in the lower fairing is filled with water pumps and radiators. I was hoping I could move those speakers back to the tour pack. I think all four speakers are the 7.1" Titan II.
I will make the tour pack detachable, but hate to loose two speakers when it's off. So was thinking of doing the speaker saddlebag lids... but I hate to loose saddlebag space.

Hey, good to see you around. Unless you have upgraded the speakers again, I'm pretty sure you have 6.5s in both the fairing and lowers. I might be wrong and maybe you have done some stuff I don't know about? Putting 7.1s in the lowers requires some mods to the HD lower speaker boxes, or to use an aftermarket speaker box? Lots of guys around here to help with the newer bikes. Maybe check to be sure of what speakers they are and we can try to help out on that part too. You wont loose much bag space with 6.5 speakers in the lids.

I think you are right that I had 6.5" in the lower fairings, I had the Harley CVO boxes there and they are sized for 6.5" speakers.
I do think I had 7.1"s in the upper fairing though, there were adapter rings in place when I had the bike stripped to put everything back to stock.
Hogtunes sells a kit to put speakers on the wet head lowers, however it comes with their speakers. So you could do that and use the 6.5 and put them in the tour pods with the adapter ring. You would also need a few additional things from BT besides the line leveler too.

The space you may "Loose" is negligible IMHO,, I've not had any issue where I wish I didn't have my speakers! LOL. I also am thinking of getting a Tour Pak,, figure I'd hook the wires for the Lid speakers to the Tour Pak when it's on,,and back to the lids when it's off.

Either one would have had an adapter ring in the fairing cause they came with 5.25s in there. The 6.5s will go right in and the 7.1s will need a different adapter ring that's readily available from BT. Keep in mind your BT stuff has a lifetime warranty too
