Negative. If you attach a 2 ohm speaker to an amp or head unit that is only capable of running a 4 ohm load, then the unit will over-heat and clip, eventually causing it to fail completely.

I thought the same thing, until it blew off going down the highway on our last three week road trip. Keep an eye on it, hopefully your ignition switch will stop it enough for you to catch it in time, I did a few times until the one time I saw it fly past my head!

I have had a biketronics setup for the last 5 yrs. Very pleased with the setup. But its not perfect. The first 2 Head units i had were Sony Marine and Both had water Damage thru Splashcover. I switched out to an Alpine marine ,that lasted around 2 yrs but was under warranty.I replaced that for 3 yrs with a Standard nonmarine Alpine with no problems.I no longer use the Splashcover,instead I use the kuryakyn trim pc with removable cover and I find that to be the best.When spraying around cover ,just mist lightly or you could have problems.I also found that I put a folded towel under cover when washing and it does get a wee bit wet. I have not had any problems since. i have also been caught in rain with no issues.

Is there any way of toning down the graphics or getting a unit w/o? I'm not trying to hate on the until because it's clearly better than my stock unit but in my personal opinion, the graphics looks like its designed for a teenager driving a Honda Civic withone of those fart exhaust pipes.

Been running these BT kits (batwing fairings) since 06 and have never had one come off, let-alone lost one.
