By any chance will the Biketronics amp adapter work? Its only $40 vs the $150 of the JM one.

I am gathering install accessories myself for a Rushmore bike. Will I need the breakout harness with one BT line leveler and losing the fader? Is the breakout harness a must?.

The breakout harness would not be needed with a front channel only line leveler. You will have to run your own speaker wire to the tour pack though. You'll also want "y" adapters to split the front channel inputs to the rear channel of the amp.

breakout harness is a must if you want the fader. That said, who ever uses a fader on a bike?? If it was me, I'd buy a RC splitter for $3 rather than a pretty spendy and VERY bulky breakout harness

Agreed. I guess some guys want to fade to keep the OL happy is the only reason I can think of but I've never taken that approach. She's already blocking my rear pod speakers dammit!! LOL!!

Ok I spoke to Sponger regarding the amp install and he mentions that there will need to be some mods done to the gauges to make the fit and that it is still going to contact the fairing most likely.
My question is this: Does anyone have any pics of this installed in the fairing?
If not does anyone have any pics of this amp installed in the trunk?

i have the amp amp and speakers installed. Set it up as per the sticky with the 1khz 0db tone to 15.8V for the 2 ohm speakers.
I now run consistently below 14 volts while riding the bike. Is this normal or will I need a larger generator?
Thanks in advance.

What year bike Bones?
Never mind I went back and seen it was a 16.
Not normal for you to register under 14v with your set up and a 16.
There should not be any charging issues at all. I know guys running three amps on that bike with no charging issues.

any ideas what it may be? I have the power wire in the tray straight to the battery with a 40 amp inline fuse. I hooked the ground up to one of the screws that holds down the radio and the remote is hooked up to a P&A wire.
Possibly the battery is on is on its way out? It's right around the 2 year mark.
Many ideas would be appreciated
