One last question, is the factory speaker connector a "regular" speaker connector that slides over a male spade? If so, I am thinking about making an adaptor to go from that to male RCA so that I don't have to cut the harley harness nor the amp harness. Would that work?
Was thinking of adding spades to the ends on this:
Would that prevent the need to cut any wires at all?
Btw, gunslinger, sorry if I jacked your thread here....didn't mean to. Was actually hoping these questions and replies were helping you as much as they are helping me.

You DO NOT need those, the only thing you'll be cutting off is the connectors for the stock speakers, then stripping the wires 1/4" or so and connecting to the input wires of amp using standard butt connectors (very simple). You could leave a couple inches of wire attached to the stock speaker connectors when you cut, in case you want to reattach them later for some reason. You're not hacking the wiring harness or anything like that. The RF PBR300x2 actually sounds best using speaker level connection vs. RCA. Just follow UltraNutZ step-by-step instructions for your bike and you'll be rockin' in no time.
No worries... TXCobra. this is a open thread so I \we can figure which way to go with our system...MotoMike, That's what I am leaning to and will be giving them a call in the next week.
I posted them on another thread, you can search "iPod Shuffle Set-up" and it should link you to the thread if you want to see more pictures. If not, here is a copy and paste from the other thread:
The set-up is less than $10 all together. I even ordered a couple and made a back-up just in case. I put these two adapters together and slipped some heat shrink tubing around it. Put my heat gun on it and sealed it up. I put the soft Velcro portion on the back of my iPod Shuffle and a tiny piece on the radio CD lid itself. I just didn't want it to bounce around or put pressure on the aux port. When I get caught in the rain or hop off... I just grab it and stick it in my pocket. To be honest, I think I spent less money making that little adapter mount and buying the iPod with it than I would have buying a mount and running wires.
