100% plug and play AND you still get to take off the tank to run your amp wires AND you have to have your HU flashed for $50-150 at the HD dealer AND the $350 setup I mentioned above will STILL SOUND BETTER. Just some food for thought.


So let me think about this...........$1030 and need to make an appointment AND a trip to the dealer and spend $50-150 or spend $350 or so, forget the dealer trip and ride listening to a better sounding system for 1/3 the price.........That is a real hard decision to make. Fellas can you help me out?

well noted on the budget stated, but sometimes folks will spend a little more than planned ,,,,

also, with the HD Forums VIP discount from J&M, the actual price gets quite a bit closer to his goal ,,,,,

Good to hear about the discount. Combining those two factors together I can see your point. I would suggest you mention that when you respond to someone whose budget is lower than the products you recommend.

JMJohn, I will give you an E for effort brother, the problem is J&M sells equiptment for a unreal price and is midlevel at best. Now if J&M equipment was the best you could get then I could see a price that reflected it but still not what your systems cost even if they were the best. I feel for you as you work for them but I will tell you if even half of this country knew about this forum, J&M (along with other companies) would be bankrupt .

No sir you don't need an amp tray. Your bike already has one that will hold this amp.

And don't fall for any of that J&M garbage. Regardless of Johns claims, it is NOT the best you can buy for your Harley Davidson.

Nope it will fit right on the amp tray you already have above the HU.

The link you included for the line lever isn't working, but I found it on the site. What options do I pick for it?

Thanks again for the help.

Put in what HU you have either a 4.3 or 6.5 and choose front speakers. That LL will be plug and play as it will plug into the hu speaker outs and rca from the LL to the amp rca inputs. Dammit I forgot to add stinger rca male to male 1.5' cables to the setup I told you about. That just may take the build over $350. When you order the line leveler, biketronics has the rca cables and that may save some shipping.

Is this what your talking about?

I don't see them on the biketronics website.
