Almost Done
Speakers done, sanded the spacers down by about 1/8 inch each and the radio went right in after some coaxing. The instructions on Biketrionics website (10 pages) is much much better than the instructions in the box. I was having trouble with the bezel plate staying on during the install into the fairing so I put it inside by itself then the radio and slid it on. I then pushed it into place easily and attached the trim piece from the outside and all fit. Going to hook up the speakers tomorrow, I am worn out today. Thanks to everyone who helped with this install, you should be proud since you trained a real dummy.

Final install
After getting my slow learning brain (I am 56) I must say everyone on here was right and I had no need for concern. I have completed with the Sony install and the 6.5 Titans. All I can say is OUT FRIGGING STANDING!!!! THE ABSOLUTE BEST SOUND I HAVE EVER HEARD IN CAR OR BIKE. NOTHING BETTER. AND A GREAT THANKS TO BILL at BIKETRONICS, as all have said here one of the greatest products and customer service I have ever seen. Thanks again to all you wrenches and especially to Biketronics

Dave, I hope you can laugh (at least a little) about your opening words in your original post in this thread.
Virtually all of us (myself included) have had a similar experience installing something on our bike; and, almost always, the problem is solved and we're happy with the outcome.
Suggestion: Go back to the original post and edit it at the very beginning to explain the outcome and issues you dealt with. And give props to Bill @ Biketronics. Most folks may stop reading after the lengthy first post and even later and never read your happy outcome post.
Now get out and ride and enjoy the tunes.

I am doing the Biketronics install right now. How did you connect the speakers to the Sony? My Biketronics Sony harness has wires coming out instead of a plug for the Harley Speaker Harness. I don't want to cut the wires out of the harness.
How did your Sony connect to the speakers, with bare wires, or with a plug?

It looks like I am going to have to manually run my speaker wires to the biketronics plug, I have a unique setup on my bike. Oh well.
