I've had this since around 1975 when I rebuilt my first engine in a 69 Ford truck I purchased before graduation from HS. I have newer ones but this one is just so much easier to get to and use!

yes, I did the install. Stereo arrived with the kit already installed so all I had to do was plug the harness into the bike, bolt down the stereo (4 screws), plug in the antenna, route the usb cord, and swap over the little bracket that the Rushmore vent snap into. Handle bar controls work. I have both sides set up to do the same functions so I can use either hand to control it... except for the mute button is on the right and the button to shuffle tuner/usb/BT is on the left.

almost. It uses apple car play or android whatever, so I mirrors your phone if it’s plugged in (like my wife’s Charger).

Nice pics, but (someone) correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't it customary to fly the red, white, and blue above all others?

A church pennant is the only flag that can be flown over the US flag. Even then, it's only doable during church services for Navy personnel, at sea. (USFlag.org)

Given that this is the Nina and Pinta, aren't they Spanish ships? I'm not sure what flags those are above ours.

Good eye Barney!

My guess would be for historical purposes they are flying the flags as they did back then. Before the USA existed!

Good point, but to be historically correct, if our country didn't exist back then, neither did our flag.

Glad you enjoyed your ride, and thanks for sharing.
