I have the Biketronics kit and RF amp mounted with velcro on top of my Sony radio. Works fine for the past year.

Many here, including myself used brackets from Scott Ezzell. Use the search function to find his contact info.

Contact Scott here: ezzell141@comcast.net

I seen that but it is a set up for the stock radio from what I seen in pics for adding the amp and ipod etc....not for aftermarket radio??

the only set up I found here was the Yaffe mount with a jerry rig set up on back to mount to the one bolt hole in center of radio.....

I used Scott's mount for my Sony radio. I mounted 2 rf amps on it. I had to mod it quite a bit, but I made it work.

I still used the velcro over the clear film and mounted the RF amp. Works fine and no problems.

Scott's bracket (he has several deepending on the app) use the same 4 bolts in the fairing brackets that the factory and aftermarket radios use.

If you want to install an aftermarket radio; you'll need a radio install kit; e. g Hwg-wired or Biketronics.

If you want to install an amp above the radio, go with Scott's I've done the Velcro directly to the radio and had no problem. Scott's brackets are almost essential when installing an amp with factory audio plus modules. It also offers a better platform for the amp in an aftermarket radio app IMO.
