I have that amp, using the BT LL’s and while I was going to use the Kappa’s, I decided on Polk MM1’s. Couldn’t be happier with this very inexpensive and simple upgrade.

I used this bracket for the B52 - some 3m VHB to hold it down. Fit perfectly.

Cool. So, in order to wire it into a '16 Street Glide, I would need to buy a mount (Hog Tunes makes aftermarket mounts), upgrade my speakers (probably to Kappa's), tap the signal into the acc power, and then have my HU flashed to flatten-out the internal EQ?

Will the wiring be self evident? Or is there a kit for the Rushmore models that simplifies wiring?

Thanks!

You will need to get a Biketronics BT355 Lineleveler to correct the signal coming out of the head unit.
Depending on the amp you are goikng to use most will fit in the stock amp tray. As noted most.
As for your remote wire HD has a pigtail for the P&A harness under the fairing to use as a remote.
