I float from the good side (HD) to the more shaded area (BMW), but never again cross into the dark side (all others). '05 Road King Classic...prior bikes number in the 60's, but most recent '02 RK, '04 BMW R1150RT and K1200GT. Harleys since 1985. Retired now with a 68 year old brother in Chicago who will be picking up an '05 Electro Glide Classic in Feb. Partially why I will go solo Harley for the time being. Looking for feedback on anyone purchasing, mounting and using the new HD radio for Softail/Road Kings. Easy or not to detach quickly? Quality of sound at speed...I only have slightly modified pipes so volume is not a major concern. Thanks

Welcome to the bb, Danno. I promise I'll try and stay away from the Hawaii 5-O jokes. Enjoy your stay here and ride safe. And it don't matter what you ride as long as you ride...
