Default Finally pulled the trigger !!!

After many days of debating, I finally pulled the trigger on a new head unit for my Ultra.

Unfortunately, it was the most expensive model I found, but had the specs I was looking for.

It has the 7" monitor with touchscreen, and the highest voltage for pre-amp input that I could find.

Gonna pair it up with the Alpine PDX 4.150 amp, and either Boston Accoustics, or Infinity Kappa's.

Will have to talk to the resident pro about making my cables !

Won't the 7" screen interfere with the Speedo & Tach while open?

Nice idea...but not sure I'd go this path on a bike (IMO).

Nice looking unit. Wonder how it will hold up with the vibrations?

Not sure I would add this to my bike but should sound good.

I know a few guys with 7" DVD screen head units. No problems so far.

The touchscreen gives you a lot of control over the fuctions.

And on this particular unit, it has the most power and options of all the units I've seen.

Should be an awesome system when finished.

It'll probably take a couple of weeks to get the amps and speakers rounded up.

Keep your eyes on the road man, that's the most important feature of all!

It's actually illegal to ride with the screen in the up position, I believe.
