no sir.. nothing more than I've already posted here in the audio forum..

Has all the bells and whistles, plugs right into your handlebar controls, daylight viewable screen, iPod tray and USB, 50x4 I believe is the power rating, front and rear outputs (4v), etc.

I have seen pics of it but they were only viewable for about 2 minutes while Kevin and I talked about it a couple of months ago. It's definetely not the unit that appears on their website.

This unit fits precisely into the stock fairing hole taking up the entire fairing opening without the need for a kit.

in relative terms.. no not really.

Figure, you'll pay $200 for a handlebar control/install kit and then another $150 to $200 for a decent radio.. then it not be waterproof on top of that.. so I'm guessing based on my conversations with Kevin that it's going to come in somewhere between $500-$600 and will be plenty of power to drive a 4 speaker setup on an Ultra without the need for an amp. Yeah yeah, I know amps are better; just making the point that it won't be needed for a lot of folks.. and to replace a stocker head unit with another stock head unit ain't cheap by any means..

Valid point...as long as it is a direct swap. the extras do add up.

I find it interesting that Dragonfly hasn't responded in this thread. According to their profile, they have been on the board today.

The only thing I don't like about it is that I haven't figured out a way to turn off the #@$% "faceplate still attached" alert when you power down. I actually don't think you can shut it off but i'm hoping i'm wrong. Not a deal breaker or anything if you like evrything else it does thou.

I talked to Kevin about 3 weeks ago and was told that the initial production run would be towards the beginning of November.
