Tv Install in an 06 Street Glide
#23
First of all noone said I was going to watch it while riding. Obviously that is not safe and the TV is for show only, and before anyone says anything I do ride my bikes that I build and so do my customers, we do not build trailer queens. Have none of you ever built a custom motorcycle. I myself have been building custom bikes for many many years. Thank you to all that have posted and been helpful. I found an install kit from Hawg wired that includes the adapter harness so that you can still use your handlebar controls. I wanted to use a plug and play setup and not have to cut into the harnesses.

Good luck with it. If it is just a customizing thing to say look what I got, then I don't get it either. Bikes are meant to ride, and if doesn't add to the whole ride experience, then why? If you were looking to mount a large touch screen for GPS or stereo, then sure, but don't understand the tv.

First of all I didn't put this post on here for all of your smart *** remarks. I have read other threads where you guys want to make comments about what someone else is installing on their bike. What one person does to his bike is his business and his choice and doesn't do it to please anyone else. Do I make a dumb *** comment about you guys that add a million ****ing gay *** neon lights to your bike and make it look like a UFO going down the road, well I can say no I don't. If you don't like it look the other ****ing way. I will build my bike the way that I want it and you build yours the way that you want it. I work hard for my money defending our country on a daily basis and if I want to spend my money by adding a TV to my bike then dammit I am going to do it and don't need your ****ing opinion. Oh and by the way yes I am adding a 26" wheel to my bike. If you do not have any helpful information on this thread then I would appreciate it if you would keep you comments to yourself.

Calm down dude.... By the way your SGLI or TSGLI will not pay out when you wreck with a TV on your bike. Watching it or not. Further more you won't get a dime when the insurance adjuster from _____________ insurance company comes out and finds a TV on your bike. Other wise go to a marine supply store most bike mods like that come from boat mods.

I can't believe how many people jumped on this guy for asking about putting a tv on his bike. I don't recall it being an opinion poll about whether he should put it on or not. The man asked for some help with the wiring, nothing else. I guess I don't understand why everyone must give their opinion and then act like their just kidding or tell him to calm down. It's his bike let him do with it what he wants. Normally I just let this stuff go by but I just thought it was ridiculous how many people thought they should give their opinions about it. Oh yeah, I think it's funny how he also gets legal advice too.

A man who is putting a (*&^%$# television on a motorcycle has no room to call neon - or ANYTHING else - "gay ***." I guess adding that you're a sergeant in the Army was supposed to make you seem more manly, in response to the insults, but it just makes it worse, not better (to me, anyhow).
Look at the reactions here and think about it for a minute. The people you'll meet in the real world are even less soccer-mom-ish than the ones who post on internet forums. Don't expect them to think it's cool.
He put it out in public on a public forum - everything's an opinion poll.
