Another biketronics fan...
Just thought I'd give my two cents about the biketronics retro kit... I ordered just the system interface plugs and install kit basically for my 09 FLHX. I already had a Sony deck and Boston Acoustics 6.5 coax's (used adaptor rings) on the shelf at home, and everything plugged straight up perfectly - almost too easy. While the price is a bit steep, the ability to plug straight into the factory wiring and keep the handlebar controls (with speed sensitive volume!) is worth every penny. This is a VERY well made kit, and the people up there seem very interested in making your installation a success.
Wound up making just one modification - instead of the black plastic plate provided, I cut out a piece of mirrored plexiglass (3/16 thick) in the same shape. That way it looks like a mirror around the radio rather than the wrinkled black plastic finish that doesn't match much. I highly recommend the change if you have access to the plexi. I'll post pics later if anyone is interested.
Good stuff!

+ 1 on the Biketronics stuff.. I got the retro kit and got my own Sony and it worked great..
Instead of the plexi I used the supplied filler plate, flipped it over, sanded it smoothe(didn't take much) and shot it with a flexible satin black SEMS spray bomb.. Matches perfectly.. I don't know why Biketronics don't do that.. The shiny textured plate ain't right..
Yes, the dash is dusty

I bought the whole shabang for my 06 FLHTI from Biketronics: Radio, 6.5 inch Titan speakers, modules and stuff. Install was a snap with the help from this forum. They threw in the splash guard for free and I'm glad they did! Rode through ~800 miles of rain this weekend and the radio never stopped playing 
. Love the speed sensitive volume and the 6.5 inch Titans sound great. Trading a buddy some old parts for an AMP soon.
