Install complete and everything is great! The system sounds awesome and the radio with the iPhone hook up for pandora is a huge upgrade over the stock unit. Thanks againg for everyone's help!

Congrats which Alpine HU you go with? I am using CDE HD137BT and love it! Bluetooth, USB iPod controls and HD radio.

I was so beat after working in the heat all day and ten finishing the install that I didn't even take any pictures. I'll get on one the head unit tomorrow.

I'm rocking the Alpine IDA-X305s. I am very happy with the unit and would recommend it if your looking for an upgrade.

On a side note I made two very stupid mistakes today. Don't ask me why I'm sharing this.

1. Hooked everything up and couldn't get the right controls to work. So after trying everything I could think of I called Biketronics. So after going through all of the steps they put me through, he decides that I need a new unit so we get it all set up. After hanging up I give it another try and that's when I notice that I was using the cruise control switch not the radio switch. So everything was in working order and I had to call back and explain my stupid mistake.

2. Now that everything's working I put the bike back together. I now start setting the radio up and when I get to pandora I realize that I did not connect the USB wire. So the faring comes back off and everything was then finished and again put back together.

In the end it was all worth it!
