replacement stereo
« on: June 21, 2005, 06:48:58 AM »

I have upgraded my 2001 SERG with  polk audio 4 ohm speakers and it is affecting the performance on the stock system. The little bit a research I have done is that the reason Harley used 8 ohm speakers was to keep distortion down. I want to change my existing head unit with like a Sony or Kenwood. Has anyone done this and any recommendations? I also want to be able to retain handle bar controls.

Check Out      www.biketron.com

They make a installation kit and adapter that will fit a aftermarket stereo to the bike and allow it to work with the factory handlebar switches. It is designed to work with Sony and Pioneer stereos that have a 1/8 inch pin jack port on the back of the radio for a wired remote control. The kit sells for $199....Hope this helps.....

Dakota do a search on a post by Hotrodstitcher.  He changed his head unit......has the amplifier in the saddle bag, tweeters up in the dash (replaced a couple of the small guages) and had posted pictures however, that was before this site was hacked and all photots were removed, but the text is still there.

An FYI, went through biketronics.com and bought the adapter that plugs into a Sony head unit. The automatic volume adjust at higher speeds will still work along with handle bar controls. I could have gone with getting an amplifier but that still does not take care of the Stock (crap) unit. Plus with a Sony it is a MP3 unit so one disc is like having 10 regular ones. Plus the Sony has AUX plug in's in the back so I can run a portable MP3 player. Hope this helps someone else.

Dakota, here is a link to the thread that has the information on the sound system that Sid (Hotrodstitcher) put in his Electra Glide......go down to the fourth post.  If you'd like, I'll call him and ask him to post all the photos again?

Thanks Guys...Glad to help. I was told about this site by two other SEEG guys in my town who are registered here. They ride a Blue 04 and a red 05 but I think my Orange 04 is the best [smiley=7.gif]especially since it is the only one in town. I guess this would be the ideal time to say a little about myself huh ? I guess you could say that I am a unique biker type by the time I spew out the story of my life here.

I am married with a wife that rides as a result of our getting together. I am 38 years old and have been riding on the street since the day I got my license at 16. My first car...uhh bike ...uhh mosquito sprayer back then was a 175 enduro 2 cycle oil injected Yamaha that smoked so bad you couldn't hardly see behind it but hey I was riding free huh ? Since then I always rode Honda Magna's of some sort and then switched up to riding a GoldWing when I started dating my wife and found out that she would ride as long and hard as I would, ( just got back from a 2500 mile trip ). I was a regular on the Goldwing GWRRA message board for several years as well as a officer in the local chapter until I started riding H-D's a few years ago, ( I still own and enjoy my Wing though and believe it is the BEST long distance touring machine on the market since it's introduction as a fairing bike ) I spent a few years competing in the bike shows at most of the state and regional rallys for the GWRRA as well as the international rally a few times and do most of my own work on the bikes and eventually got bored with the circuit after winning all the shows two or three times each.

As for the Harley scene...I currently own the 04 Org/Blk SEEG as well as a Silver and Black 100th Anv. FXDWG. I have the SEEG dolled up good with chrome as you can imagine and have added a Ness Big Sucker Air Cleaner Kit, Samson Caliber Pipes and a Power Commander for performance so far. Kendall Johnson installed the PC and did the dyno tuning and got 95hp and 110 tq out of it so far. I am planning to have him re-do my heads, change cams and pull the jugs and send them off for diamond cutting soon so stay tuned for the updates. Kendall says if these additional mods don't pick it up at least 15 & 15 the work will be free !! As for the DWG ...its dolled up with all the chrome and a set of wheels but not much motor work other than the breather and 203 cams but i'm usually cruisin slow and low on it anyhow.

The wife decided she was ready to start riding her own bike a few years ago and I started her out on a VS 800 Suzuki but then I got the DWG and she liked the noise and decided she was ready to step int the H-D world too. So I sold the VS800 and got her a 2004 CL1200C and let her dress it like she wanted it so far as seat, handle bars, chrome etc. and it also has the blue with white to yellow to orange flames radical paint set on it too which really sets the bike off and makes her happy that as many people talk to her at the gas pump as they do me. As for my knowledge on the above question....well I have been in the automotive electronics business for 12 years now doing car stereo, security, satellite radio, mobile video, navigation etc. so I get asked bike related audio questions alot from the local bikers since I am in the related business of cars and audio equipment. I also own and manage several pieces of commercial and residential real estate as well as sell motorcycle trailers. The bike trailers I sell are the fiberglass pop open type like the old Excaliber's. I sell the Iron Horse and Toy Carrier brands and advertise in the NC Full Throttle and The Dixie Rider, ( now US Rider News ) magazines in case you have seen the ads. I also serve as a Road Captain with the local HOG Chapter as well.....ANYWAYS.....that's my story and I'm sticking to it.....THANKS FOR MAKING ME FEEL WELCOME..... [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

A friend of mine just repplaced his burnt out Harley radio with an Alpine replacemnet radio that is made for the Electra Glides. It fints right into the fairing where the stock radio fits and also has wiring that connects to the controls on your handel bars so that you do not loose any features of audio, channel chnaging and also feature election of the unit. The Unit also comes with 200 watts of power. He has JBL front speakers and Pioneer rear pods just added from Laconia and man it sounds like a home high fi unit.

I will post model numer over the weekend..
