Old Issue - Distortion in speakers when you start driving. I have had a Hog tunes 200 w 4 channel system for 4 years with no problems. Then in December I went in for shoulder surgery but before I went in In did all my winter maintenance. i had no problems w/ anything.
Bike-2003 FLTRI annv Road Glide. Finally 2 months after surgery I go for a ride w/ group. as soon as I pulled out the speakers started distorting. when stopped all is fine. I have read NUMEROUS Threads w/ same problem. I parked bike and it worked sat for two months w/ trickle charger I always plug in -cannot thing of name little green one. any way Now I have problem. Oh coarse Hog Tunes is blaming bike and charging system or ground or battery. I sent them rear speakers and amp. Could never hear rear speakers anyway. they cannot fine any problems. Charging system was replaced last march, battery 1-1/2 yrs old, changing ground did not work.But I did not have problem until after I dd not ride for two months.
Checked charging system and Battery and within specs
Has anyone been able to fine a problem w/ bike that could cause this distortion? or is hog tunes products just failing?
Thanks a lot

Has anyone from Hog Tunes ever resolved the problem of distortion in speakers when you take off and start riding. I have read what seems like hundreds of complaints over the same issue w/ Hog Tunes distortion from every harley forum you can think of. EVERYONE HAVING SAME ISSUE BUT NO RESOLVEMENT except maybe a battery here or there. I just got my amp and speakers back from them NPF -NO PROBLEM FOUND- put it back in bike and as soon as I get near 2000RPM DISTORTION.
I just cannot under stand how so many people could be having the same problem and cannot get it resolved.
Like I said before parked bike for shoulder surgery in Dec 19 got back on Feb 20 and first ride DISTORTION. How can it be fine when I parked it and now sucks. Ryan at Hog tunes keeps saying its the bike. New charging system March 19 and I just put in a new battery, mine was only 1-1/2 yrs old but I figured I would try iT, No dice, I think I just shop for a amp other than Hog tunes.
LAST POINT! IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE THAT CAN EXPLAIN THE DISTORTION IN SPEEDERS ONCE YOU START DRIVING!
IF I BOUGHT A NEW AMP AND HAD SAME PROBLEM I WOULD BE PRETTY MAD>
Someone has got to have an idea or fixed the problem.
In looking at a radio replacement AQUATIC-AQ-MP-5BT-H they make mention of supression devices on Harley bikes that could have failed.
this has stopped me in my tracks
