Chip, with all the spares you're collecting I keep thinking of that old Johnny Cash song...

I used to think of that same song whenever I used to see the "'05, '06, '07 SEEG" description under your avatar.

Ok, I give... What song??

I got it one piece at a time
And it didn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around.

It's going to be retrograding soon though.  The HK radio died.  Thought it was just the internal amp so could bridge it since using the HW amp externally anyway.  No soap though.  Left channel dead also.  It's too much hassle to rehack the firmware to make another one work in pre-06 bikes and they're too damned expensive.  Also just don't need to prove to myself I can do it again.

So sticking a Sony in it when all the parts get here.  For what the head unit cost on eBay it only needs to last 18 months or so and it would still take 10 years to cover the expense of the Harley branded radio.  Better than that a three year replacement warranty for the head unit was only 18 bucks.  In the bike environment it'll probably die once before three years.  So that replacement is free.

At the end, as the song fades, the lyrics are:

Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56
'57, '58' 59' automobile
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67
'68, '69, '70 automobile.

Full lyrics (since we're at it and the song's running through my head now):



Written by W. Kemp
Recorded by Johnny Cash on 3/5/76
Number one - County Chart; Number 29 - Pop Chart


Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.

CHORUS
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round.

So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
Now, I never considered myself a thief
GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years.

The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home.

Now, up to now my plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong.

The transmission was a '53
And the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.

So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on.

The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got thru
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin."

So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds.

CHORUS
I got it one piece at a time
And it didn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around.

(Spoken) Ugh! Yow, RED RYDER
This is the COTTON MOUTH
In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on

Huh, This is the COTTON MOUTH
And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there RED RYDER
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it's cheaper that way
Ugh!, what model is it?

Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56
'57, '58' 59' automobile
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67
'68, '69, '70 automobile.

Ok, now I understand.

Or, might live forever since my guess is the SERG will see a bunch of action now. 

[Twolanerider]

One of the Marine units.  Model on the way is CDX-M50iP (or something very close to that.

Against the black bezel filling the gap between the radio and the fairing that is part of the adapter kit I think the black automotive radios will probably look better.  But the silver face of the marine units may match appearance to the CVO instruments better.  Especially with the red lights on the radio's face compared to the blue ones on most of the automotive units. 

My only real dissatisfaction was that none of the marine units had bluetooth built in.  Thought that audio streaming from some bluetooth enable MP3 device might be very handy.  No such marine unit though.

Haven't sorted that out in even my own mind yet.  They'll both get ridden though .

the newer ones have build in ipod connector and front aux jack, i might have to upgrade mine

I was less concerned about the wired ipod connector.  But few of the models had the front aux-in jack.  I really did not want to drill a hole in the inner to mount an aux plug hooked to the rear so that front mounted plug was a determining factor.  With that the ipod connector became just a throw-in.

Cheapest place I found that radio in a relatively quick search was here:

There was a seller a dollar and change cheaper altogether.  But this one was throwing in an ipod control cable that might give me an excuse to buy an ipod someday.
