I wouldn't have the radio flashed. Just install a Biketronics line leveler

If you were to want your rear channels activated for a four channel amp than you need a dealer flash. (If your bike only came with fairing speakers)

Hope this helps

Flash first . I Finally Got my Flash done today after being refused two previous times due to Harley BS. they won't support aftermarket audio so I Had to remove aftermarket lids and put stock back on . stupidity. I hope they got the Ultra flash correct. I did 0 Amp and 4 speaker to avoid my " HU from explosion". As I was told by the tech. what a joke. and Hopefully the next time I do the usb update I hope they don't inadvertedly remove my flash.. I did notice the volume was reduced after flash. hoping this is a normal occurance after a Flash. I will post an update after I finish the install.


Plan- 2, MX 6.5 Mille pro Hertz in front fairing and 2 st25 hertz tweeter, pushed by Diamond Micro 4v2 Amp. and 4, 6x9 pioneers in rear pushed by Alpine 4 channel. all this will be flatten by DSR1 rockford DSP. I know i didn't need flash with the DSR1 but I just prefer a flash. I want all my functions out the bike I own. RGs 2017. stay tuned..
