Need some advice on setup
So I was about to place an order with Biketronics on a complete package but thought I'd ask here first if it's even a nice system.
I have a 99 Road Glide, currently stock radio with hogtunes speakers.
I was going to purchase the Road Glide package from Biketronics with the Sony DSXMS60, I liked the idea of the built in ipod holster. I was probably going to stick with the included hogtunes speakers as mine are a few years old. Wasn't sure about the amp and the main reason I stopped what I was doing and started doing some research.
So what do you guys recommend for a good system? Is the Sony unit good? Is there better speakers and amp out there for the money?

I have the Biketronics adapter for the Sony Radio in my 1995 Standard Dresser, easy install and sounds great, I replaced my 4" speakers in the fairing with 4" waterproof Polk speakers.
I also purchased Speaker Baffles for the back of the speakers from Crutchfield, all my control's work fine, no complaints, you can just order the adapter and find the same receiver at a lower price as I did.
But also the Sony receiver I have (Sony MEX-1GP) is long outdated, the front panel comes off and you connect it to your computer and drag and drop your songs to the panel, it has 1 GIG of memory, then just disconnect it and put it back on the bike.
I'll upgrade the radio one day, just to many irons in the fire at the moment, I like the Sony radios they seem to be well built, as far as an Amp goes i found the prices to high on them.

Biketronics setup!
I just finished installing the following BT items. Sony CDC-gt710hd radio, 7.1 Titan II fairing speakers, speaker pods with 7.1 speakers mounted to removable tour pac, and the 4180 amp. All installed on my '12 street glide.
one word -AWESOME
Great sound and volume. Blows the original equipment away. Easy installation of all items. I used the tech support once and their help was great.
Give Biketronics a thumbs up.
Good luck with your project!!!
