First off, I'd like to say thanks to everyone who posts on this forum, and the experts for providing great advice. Shout out to Gannicus, because this is almost an entire system based on his recommendations.


Second, I think this is a pretty great system for the money. However, I wanted to do a price break down by piece, so others could get a true cost of replacement. Hopefully, this will help people realize, there is no "cheap" system. You have a Harley. Cheap is just that, cheap in price, quality, and outcome. Think of it as an investment in additional enjoyment!


Lastly, thanks to SLYDOG for the sticky on setting amp gains. And BERTK, for posting the head unit settings. Because, a system is worthless with out great tuning.

I had a pretty good idea how much all this was going to cost, and actually had been watching prices and buying bits of it for months.


As for install time. I'm not going to lie and say it took me a couple beers over a couple hours. Realistically, it took me about a week (working on it for a couple hours most nights after work). I'm very **** about my work, so every connection was soldered and heat shrunk, and all wires were secured and most wire loom wrapped.


Additionally, while I had it apart, I thought it would be a good time to change the gauge lights:





Overall, well worth the time and investment.

 

Sounds like a good deal and the gauges look awesome. Post a vid when you have a chance.

Also, how do you like your SS amp? I'm getting ready to install one this weekend in my Limited.

 

How much for the gauge lights?

 

The SS amp definitely helps and sounds great! It does take a little work to get the fairing back on though.

I went through Marty at www.gaugeledmods.com, because come to find out, he lives 5 mins from me. Lol, Small world. All said and done, it was $130 (but I got the additional gauge buffing, which makes a huge difference.
