That's a good move right there Rocket!!!!

Our local HD boys have the machine we can play with but unfortunately zero training or knowledge about how it impacts sled audio.

THIRD: Enable amp #2 ,,,,,

that is the flash we use for all J&M ROKKER Stage4 systems ,,,,,,


it lowers the output of the radio, flattens out the EQ, activates the distortion limiters inside the DSP section of the Harley Infotainment radio ,,,,


also turns on rear channel outputs, activates front/rear fade control, bass, treble and auto-volume controls from the radio itself ,,,, (NOT relying upon Harley external amplifiers for these features) ,,,

with the 8-speaker/multiple amplifier flash using the Harley dealer’s digital technician, the radio output is lowered, but the signal is not as clean, and the front/rear fader controls are not activated inside the radio, nor do the bass/treble controls have the same effect ,,,,,

same goes with the AVC control with the Harley dealer flash ,,,,,

When using the Diag-4-bike digital technician, you will flash the radio the same way, but instead of amps #1 & #2 being “enabled” they would be set to “yes” ,,,,,

These speaker/amp configuration flashes, have nothing to do with and are NOT altered but the periodic Harley radio UPDATES performed thru the dash mounted USB port ,,,,,

In addition these radio FLASH configurations will not interfere with OR change the radio flash settings for the new Harley WHIM (wireless headset interface module) ,,,,,

There will be a new video forthcoming that will deal specifically with these Harley radio flash options ,,,,,

I am concerned about flattening the EQ too much and losing the bass I had with the stock 4.3 using only 2 fairing speakers. I was really happy with the setup before I switched to the Boom! 6.5 and now am not really impressed. I would love to go back to what I had unless you can make it even better...that would be awesome.


I hope you don't mind working with a non J&M System. I know there are a bunch of folks running a similar setup as me so this should be interesting.

Yeah, I was about to text you but see you are up early on your vacation..LOL. I didn't know they would be there but am looking forward to having them play with my setup. I have seen the videos and numerous posts from J&M, they seem to have done a couple of these.

Rocket ,,,,,,

the BEST FLASH in my opinion is the same whether you are using J&M ROKKER audio equipment or some other brand, does not matter ,,,,

you will not lose bass response with the J&M custom stage4 flash, quite the contrary, the bass signals available will not only increase, but the distortion limiters inside the DSP section of the Harley radio will keep it from going into what "I call" BLATTT mode, which means the speaker is constantly banging up against it's mechanical travel limits as the bass pounds the cone forward ,,,,

I have posted these stage4 flash details so many times that I am almost dizzy ,,, and I am surprised that at least one of these guys posting here on HD forums doesn't just give it a try to see what I am talking about ,,,,,

If John can't get to you for any reason and you feel like a road trip over my way, The Audio Edge in Nederland can flash aftermarket.

Cowboy Harley will flash but it's the Harley flash and you'll want to use the 2 amp 8 speaker (as mentioned by Alex) but you loose a little.

The aftermarket flashes are a better option right now (it's very similar to the old dealer flash that everyone wanted), this is the one John outlined.

Let us know what you think. I'm always ready to learn a new way to do something.

Just talked to the guys at The Audio Edge, they'll be setup at the rally harbor side.

Flashes are $50 or free with purchase (they'll be doing installs)

Any idea what equipment they are using? I went to their website and didn't find a lot of info.
