I have a 05 FLHTPI that was not used for service work.I'm planning on installing a stereo.Are there any tips that yall can give me.I'm mechanically inclined and plan on doing the installation myself,but I have one question.How hard is it gonna be to do the wiring?Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

 

call Hogtunes and talk to Pez (owner) he will give you all the info you need. They are hogtunes.com
Great customer service, great product. I did the same thing on my pollice bike, used a sony stereo and got the biketronics module to make the handlebar controls to work as w/ factory. I have about 500$ invested in it all. Less than 1/2 price from a stock HD radio only. You will probably have to replace the handlebar controls, if your has the siren buttons, but this is still not a big deal. Call Pez and see what he says and if you need more info let me know. Like i said I have just completed my bike a month or so ago.

 

I installed a Clarion marine radio I got off ebay for 164 dollars it has a wireless remote you can mount on the bars somewhere. I also got some pioneer speakers and it sounds great!! Easy install as i have the police wire diagrams. There are wires running to the fuse box you just have to splice in. they are tied off somewhere in the fairing. I also used a piece of 1/2 inch plexi glass as the support of the front of radio and J B welded that in place.

If you are not seeking handlebar controls it is very simple. You can buy the mounting hardware for the headunit from Biketronics for about $50 or Hawg-wired for more $$; both give a nice, factory-finish look. As far as getting the headunit to work, you simply tap the power from inside the fairing and supply a ground, hook up the speakers and an antenna. You will also need an antenna--there are lots of choices--Tune Trapper, Dakota Digital or equivalent(check with an auto audio shop; they will have them as do auto parts stores). You will also need to purchase "speaker adapters" from HD for mounting the speakers to your fairing--under $30 for the pair. If you go with the Biketronics or Hawg-wired, the plastic box where the radio goes comes out. You can also mount the radio inside the plastic box if you want to save $$, but it is not as good cosmetically IMHO. I did the non-handlebar control approach initially and it worked fine with Sony Xplod 4-way speakers from Wal-Mart for $35 (but I'm no audiophile) and Sony headunit. Have since added handlebarswitches and purchased the Biketronics interface for handlebar controls.

 

I have the Hawg-Wired bezel and cradle, with a JVC stereo and some sony XPLOD speakers.

into the whole deal for about 350 bucks, My bike already had the antenna lead so when I put the tour pack on I was good to go.

Since my bike never sees water I don't worry about weather.

 

biketronics sells an adapter plate that fills in the extra space around the radio area. a stock HD radio is bigger than a sony car radio. they also sell a splash guard that snaps in place over the radio. I got both and they look nice. I only use the splash gard when washing the bike or riding in the rain.

 

Thanks for all the help guys!!!!I think I'll give Biketronics a try and just order the whole kit.Sounds like a pretty easy install.Once again, THANKS for all the help.

 

if no one answers the phone leave a message and Mike will call you back usually within a half day or so.

 

Not the only way to go mind you, just the way I chose.
