Default Biketronics install

I got my Biketronics setup done today. The install was quick and easy except that I did the speaker install first and took the factory wires out of speaker boxes when I didn't need to. The system sounds awesome with the Titan IIs and the 2 channel amp. Awesome customer service. I added Hogtunes grills to the install too. Really impressed all around. I did go to start the bike and realized when it wouldn't start that I forgot the fuel line on the tank.

Thanks everyone. The stereo sounds so much better. Clarity is better, definitely louder. Gonna take it for a ride today and see how it sounds on the road.

Well, unfortunately I blew a speaker on my first ride out. It was only 2 miles to a gas station and not even at the max level found in the Biketronics instructions. Hopefully we will get it sorted. Mike at BT already emailed me back.

That sucks. Sometimes items can just be bad from the factory. Biketronics has grrat service so you will be taken care of. Stand up Mike responding on a Sunday!!

I have to agree. Highly impressed by the Sunday response. Sucks having a crackling speaker at all volumes, but a few screws and a replacement should resolve it.

A few tips from all the biketronics threads over time. Replace the interconnects with a better set. Known to cause issues. Also double check all the push pin connections on the amp. make sure you have solid connections and enough bare wire to get good contact inside.
