I thought about getting one of the J&M Corp set ups but I've heard their 500 watt amps are eating up stators on baggers! D'OH!

hmm.. I doubt that to be the factual case man.. J&M's amps have never been known to draw enough current to do anything to the electrical system on these bikes. Different story if you have an amp shorting out but these Class D, F, G, H are EXTREMELY efficient when it comes to 12v

amen brother. I have been trying to troubleshoot a rear lighting issue for the last week while juggling a full time job with long commutes, other commitments and trying to keep mama sane with the 2 little ones. That's what I love about the dedication that folks like UN, Glacier, Pioneer, etc have for this forum in helping us make better quicker decisions and still stay as "balanced" as a bunch of crazies like us can be
