Ok, I have a 1999 Ultra. Bought it a couple of years ago and it only had 10k on it. Just turned 22k. I have decided to upgrade the sound system. Thought a while about upgrading performance but since I have a second bike, 03 vrod I am opting for the sound system. I realize I could facing a cam tensioner issue in a few miles/years. I'd like a new bike but hey, paid for is nice in one respect. If I was willing to put 1000 to 1200 in a system, any ideas? I'd like to do the work myself.

Very easy. Are you sticking with the factory head unit, upgrading to a '06-'13 Harman Kardon, or aftermarket?

With a bike that old, my first stop would be Biketronics, especially if you plan on an aftermarket head unit.

Head on over to the audio forums and start reading. When you figure out some ideas on what you're interested in, we can help you out.

Ask for some input from UltraNutz. He's pretty good at suggesting complete stereo setups for various bikes. Maybe send him a PM?
