How many hours would a dealer take to install this kit on a street glide?

Has anyone tested this set?

It shouldn't take more then 2 hours. Your faring comes apart very easy. My Roadglide was a different story.

 

Thx. badbobby! Did you install the amp? Is it a big improvement?

 

Here are the installation instructions for the amp:

Yes. The amp was easy. The hardest thing was getting the power cable back to the battery Where you wouldn't see it. I don't think I would go with the Hogtunes amp though.
It has a little more power but still distorts at high volumes. There are some better amps out there. I was just in a hurry to get my bike back together so I could ride. So I got it local with out having to wait another week. I thing the J&M would be one of the better choices.

 

The amp can only amplify what you send it. The factory HK wasn't designed for 0% Total Harmoniic Distortion !

A little C&P abouy THD:


Total Harmonic Distortion: When an amplifier is driven with a signal, the output of the amplifier is an amplified version of the input signal PLUS any distortion created by the amplifier. All amplifiers and signal processors add distortion to the signal. The levels of harmonic distortion in a high quality amplifiers are sooooo far below audibility that they are basically of no concern. When someone tells you that one amplifier is definitely going to sound better because its THD is rated at .002% vs an amp with .05%, you can be pretty sure that he doesn't know what he's talking about. Many people believe that THD below 1% is not audible and I believe they're probably correct. The fact is, especially in an automobile, the amplifier is the least of your worries. Speakers used for mids and highs commonly produce between 1% an 5% THD and for subwoofers the numbers can easily reach 10%. This doesn't even take into account all of the resonances of all of the plastic and metal panels in the vehicle.

 

I just installed my new ARC Amp and speakers yesterday. I didn't have any experience with electronics before doing it and found it was much easier than I thought.

I took the tank off instead of just lifting it. It took about 2.5 hours at a careful/easy pace. An extra set of hands is helpful with the fairning removal/install though.

My setup isn't the Boom setup, but I would imagine the install time is about the same.

 

Thanks for all the help!
