Thumbs up Added Handle Controls !!

I just wanted to share a great experience I had with working with (( biketronics)) . I have a 05 RoadKing with a aftermarket fairing with a Kenwood radio and always wanted to have factory hand controls. So I call biketronics and talked with there tech and they set me up with all the parts I needed . I had to buy factory switch housing from the dealer but they had all the other items they are great people to work with .

I have been running the same situation for a few years, works slick, but I have never been able to get my station seeks to work. Been over my wiring numerous times changed the handlebars side switch, talked to there techs, but still no go. Happy to have just the volume control and on and off. Glad to hear you are set.

I had the avc hook-up but actually went back in and snpped the wire. I found that I could not adjust the volume when the avc was changing the volume. Very annoying. They told me that was the way it was...so snip went the wire.

Mine is a dead center cycles. I like it but might have gone with a dragon fly for mounting purposes if I were doing it again because it rarely comes of so bolting it on would have been alright.

Default radio controls

Hey guys, Ive got a kevin Evins after market fairing I bought off of firecap. Its just like the dragonfly. He sold me a pioneer radio that just rocks but would love to get handlebar controls for it. Will these controls work with all radios.

I've always liked the symmetrical looks and setup of the hand controls on an Ultra Classic. The same number of switches and lay-out on both sides. The only thing missing is a button(s) to change the preset channels without taking your hand off of the handlebars and eyes off the road while riding.
