Go back to Sony or get GT radio?
Hey guys, got caught in a downpour last summer and my Biketronics Sony Ax5000 quit playing and doesnt play right now, kinda like the output changes and loses sound quality. I dont enjoy peeling the fairing off every few months, thinking of going with a GT radio, I have a RF DSR1, SD 1200 and running GZ Yellow baskets in fairing, am I really downgrading to go with the GT?

Watch the whole video...he ranks it higher than the Sony 7000...2nd to the GTS.

Honestly those new radios are almost 900 bucks. For a few hundred more, I'd still opt for the gts radio and have all the functionality and hand controls AND guaranteed water proof. Just my 2 cents.

More like twice the price and that new SS Reserve HU is also "water-proof" but still, I'm likely going to get a GTS (if I can ever find one) and sell the GT.

I’m not completely sold on the SS radio, not that it might not be good, just zero track record.

Also you can pick up a used GTS for around 1200
Like I said, for me the full control functionality isnt worth giving up.

Same with me. We use the intercom, CB, and Weather Band.
