Ordered mine from Surdyke for 68.02 shipped, got them in 8 days. They shipped from the HD warehouse.

Disappointing that the tweeters still hit the grill.

The tweeters hitting the grill, are these the BT speakers? And if so is there room to add spacers between the speaker and the grill to set them back? And would this cause structural problems previously discussed?

Can someone please explain why my radio on 2014 UC Limited keeps cutting out at various times. Doesn't matter which mode it's playing in. Even with a thumb drive connected. Can't make it cut out all the time and haven't figured out exactly what makes it happen. Local Harley shop service writer said his new 2014 is doing the same. He hopes to work on it as soon as the weather warms up. anybody else experiencing this problem?

Rus ,,,,,,

try turning off both the CB radio and the GPS system ,,,,,,

if one or those fixes the problem ,,,,,, then turn off the AUDIO from the GPS or turn the CB squelch to maximum, to allow them to be on, but not randomly cut the system on and off ,,,,,,

please let me know how you do ,,, john@jmcorp.com ,,,,

Russ,
you may have GPS on and the volume turned down, GPS volume is independent of Radio Volume.. If that is the case it will interupt the radio and with GPS turned down it will not be heard. Turn off GPS like John suggested or next time the AUDIO cuts out, immediately raise the volume and see if the GPS is giving directions.
