That's the standard package from Biketronics, $20 cheaper to boot.
It's not bad. You can do better for speakers. The head unit is bare bones without Bluetooth, but it has iPod controls. I would choose the "best offer" and see if you can get it for less. Maybe another $20 or $30.

Reaper....just got the Sony MS60 and the retro kit from biketronics. Pained inner fairing on the way and as soon as I get that I will be changing out the stock. Saw good reviews so I went for it. No CD player but I'm always using the IPOD anyway. I like the fact the MS60 has the tune tray built into the radio and the IPhone or IPod can sit in the radio.....been using the on the move technology IPod interface for 2 years now but I'm gonna change it up some. Will write a review after I get it all installed. Think the radio (marine grade version) and the kit was $400.

if you really like that particular setup, check with biketronics for the retro kit. crutchfield has that particular head unit for $99.99
me personally, i would pay a little more and go with a different vendor. i have heard way too many horror stories with acm. if everything goes right, no problem, but have a problem? thats when the chit hits the fan....

Not that head unit, but I ran one similar and couldn't read the display during the day at all! "Luckily" it only lasted about 4 months before it crapped out from water damage and went with the sony marine with the white display and black letters, easy to read during the day but a tad bright at night. And I was using the rain cover when I lost the first head unit, Something to think about if you ride in the rain like some of us!
Here is a picture of the one I lost to water damage.
and this is the marine grade sony with the easy to read display.
