This is a stinger
Damn good little amp for fm reception that will fit right on the amp tray you already have in your bike.

RF does have an install kit that is plug & play so they aren't all the same. For someone who doesn't do a lot of stereo installs it will save a few trips to the audio store for things that they forgot of just didn't know about. Plus, the RF kit comes with the tray and if you use the RF amp it is a pretty good combo. Not everyone is going to sit in a parking lot and listen to their stereo and no matter how much you spend, at 60MPH you lose over 50% of the sound. I have Mmats and I can attest to the fact that they are not very full even parked. My RF 6x9's sound so much better up to about 40 mph then the wind starts to take over. I wouldn't recomment Mmats, the stock Boom Stage 1 speakers actually sounded better but the Mmats do take a beating and keep on playing.
The OP is asking for a glass of milk and everyone is telling him to by a dairy farm.

My new setup is all up front and I dont even have to turn my volume past 3 to hear it at 80.
I get it. Some ppl have this conception that aftermarket audio is something above their capabilities. I was in that boat as well. First setup I paid to have done. The difference in how its installed is RF makes a harness for you. Otherwise, you buy a kit with power and ground wires for your amp, and use a LOC to convert your speaker level to RCA.
As bates said, we only give the options of better equipment to try to help save ppl money. In the end, what they want is all that matters. But I think the guys here that know, will always offer something other than overpriced "kits" every single time it comes up.

I guess I’m more old-school as I like listening to the radio over streaming. I didn’t think my reception was super good without adding an amp to the fairing, so it’s concerning to make it even worse.
I just got off the phone with the audio shop and they told me I shouldn’t really experience much loss unless I replace the stock antenna with the hidden antenna. Hopefully things will be fine, or I’ll have to start streaming music more often.

Someone mentioned losing reception by changing the stock antenna. You don't have to change it, you can hide it that way and it works... No more poking yourself in the eye.... I orginally put a stubby antenna on, and it completely sucked, also the inside fairing antenna sucks too... So this is an option...
