I did. In fact, I called and spoke with Kathy. She mentioned about BT1006 and a separate conversion kit ($39.00) for my 1992 Ultra. That was confuses me. I thought I just need a RetroRadio kit to do the job. So that's why I'm trying to see if this is also the case with the OP.

Yep, the instructions called for a 10 amp and all I had was a 15. I installed the 15 and couldn't get any power to the face of the radio. Picked up a 10 amp the next day and installed it and everything works like it should. I only stuck the 15 in just to see if the radio worked, but it wouldn't. I'm guessing these new radios have a built in safety system that prevents power to the unit if you're using an oversize fuse.

Sucks scoche has released a 96-up adapter for handle bar controls for 39.00, I guess us Evo 95-down guys are stuck paying 200 for a stupid wiring harness? Sticking with hd radio and my old cassette adapter to phone till they come down

Realistically, I can't see them coming down. What's the market for people needing these for pre '96 bikes? Not too great I'd imagine. That said, I can't see letting $200 keep you from being able to reap the benefits of a modern stereo system. I just put in a Sony w/ the Biketronics kit and it is great!

I had any 89. I installed a sony radio from best buy cut out the old harness. Just used the stock diagram and the radio. Yea I lost use of controls but it's not that big of a deal breaker. It's close enough to reach and and I use the preset station or had a small flash drive in for mp3.
