The pbr amps like high input. If your head unit puts out less than 4 volts, you're better off using the high level inputs.

The wires going into that retro radio just route through to the stock harley wiring. white (left+) white/black (left-) grey (right+) and grey/black (right-) before or after the retro straight into the pbr high-level input should be good. What module is that sanman? My 1005 has a white plug like kidharley.
Sony harness, front speaker wires go to pbr. don't cut the BT module wires as they have lifetime warrenty? Should be plug and play handle bar control module?

Edit: pioneer has it right

Usually Rca's are a cleaner signal and you use the amp's gain control to compensate, but like I said I am not familiar with the RF.

Dang!!! I just realized that I bought the premade harness from BT. That's why Ive been reluctant to cut the damn thing. The normal harness comes ready to solder all the wires. Now I know what to cut. The only thing I'm wondering now is which way of installing High or Low is the best for sound.

I knew I was over thinking the whole thing!!!
