I will answer my own question.
It took my about 2 1/2 hrs to install the Sony GT400 and the HogTunes speakers on my FLHTI yesterday. I could have saved about 40 min if I had 3/16" allen wrench with the ball on the end. Getting to the 4 allen head screws that hold the radio was a real PITA with a standard L shaped wrench.
Biketronics customer service is the best. Thankfully, with the time zone difference they were abel to answer a couple question for me about the installation yesterday evening.
I did a quick test ride and the system sounds great. I have Wild Pig slip-ons exhaust and had no difficulty hearing my tunes at Hwy speeds thanks to the HogTunes.

Now, If I use my wife's "Shopping Logic" doing the installation myself saved me about $150 bucks in labor charges. That would be $150 I could spend on more chrome and If I get the 20% discount from Zanotti's, I can justify even more spending. It's a never ending spending fest......
