Stereo Install
Guys,
This may be a long winded post so bear with me. I have a 2012 RK Police that I have completely stripped for paint. While it is being painted, I decided to add an aftermarket fairing and stereo setup. I purchased a Bad Roses one piece fairing (bad choice), not the fairing itself, but so little and limited space to work in. I bought it due to the fact it has a large faceplate and the thought of adding a double din radio. I haven't bought a radio yet as I cannot find a splash shield to cover it, so may have to go a different direction. I did purchase a Soundstream Picasso Nano amp and 4 Polk speakers. I thought that I would be able to put the amp inside the fairing (don't even know how I am going to mount a radio unless it has a U bracket), but that ain't happening, again not enough space. Now I am left with the option of putting the amp in a saddlebag and to be honest I thought this would be a simple project, but I am way in over my head. I have no idea what the heck to do at this point. Any help, step by step instructions, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

aftermarket radio - "cop" glide
2009 FLHTP...looked for radio for quite some time...finally found exactly what I was looking for: Fusion MS-RA200..it is small, both width and depth; completely waterproof (doesn't need "splash shield"); also added Jensen Auxiliary USB/MP3 receptacle.
Had a local stereo installer do the work. works well for me...but I find myself using my phone more. have J&M CB that has a cable with 3mm plug for using with my phone....plugged into my helmet...
