Did you have to replace the wiring harness, or was everything already there? That looks good!

Look at Polk Audio speakers DB series. Rated Marine grade and What a sound. I used the built in Tweeter 3 1/2 in where the speedo and tach are. Great sound.

I might eventually use a a couple of the plugged holes, and put an oil temp guage and oil pressure guage. It was a great Mod.

I would be interested in your final cost when completed. Mine complete Fairing/Stereo/Speakers paint and so on cost me, just over 1K to complete.

Maybe alittle less after I sold the Quick disconnect Shield and Headlight Narcle

Looks great so far
