PN4.520D install failure
Well, i finally got all the pieces (Thanks UltraNutZ!) and got cranking on the install. Everything was going great until i decided to try to see if the batwing would fit back on with the amp on. well, since i have the CB and ipod interface, the PN4.520 is too tall and i can't close the batwing. i tried every location i could think of, but it is a no go. Needless to say, i'm kind of stuck. Does anyone have any ideas? I guess i'm looking for suggestions on an amp that will fit with the ipod and cb interfaces installed. Anyone know what would work there?

I'm not sure what the ipod interface looks like but if it is like the Harley CB and/or XM modules, it (along with your CB module) can be mounted to the bottom of your head unit (Yes there is room). You'll just need to unplug the modules, reroute the wires and plug them back in.
There is a bracket available to relocate the modules under the head unit (about $65.00 +/-), but you don't really need it. Attach the modules to the bottom of the head unit with Scotch All-Weather Velcro (Industrial Strength 3M Dura Lok Fasteners). You can get this in the hardware section at Walmart, Office Max or Office Depot. It is a great/strong product. If you feel so inclined, you can buy or make a long zip-tie and wrap it around your amp, head unit and modules.

Scott's bracket is great, makes for a really clean looking install and also allows air to flow around head unit and amp. The SS would be a tighter fit but should work fine. Make sure you mount the amp as far back towards the gauges as possible.
