Default Old system in new bike?

I have a 2012 Street Glide with a Kenwood deck, CV B52 amp and Hertz Mille speakers. I may be trading this bike on a 2017. Is the audio stuff I have worth pulling to install on the new bike or are there better options for just a 2 speaker setup on the newer bikes with the stock HU? I realize I will need line levellers and do I need an amp bracket and/or anything to mount the speakers? Thanks!

If you have the stock or another pair of speakers to put in the bike I would keep the milles and amp. If you are going to upgrade the new bike to 4 channel then I wouldn't as that amp is only good for a 2 channel setup. Hell if anything take it out and sell the amp on the for sale section here.
