No problem on the Brews,

I did go by Roosters on the way up to Jacksonville on Saturday and there were quite a few bikes already in the parking lot at 11:00 AM. It's advertised as the oldest biker bar in N Florida and it does have a lot of character.

metalbo

Word of caution as you may wish to further investigate screens with a lip or up sweep. I have read some posts where they can cause turbulence and make things worse. A buddy owns an America with windshield and he gets just a bit of wind on the top as you. He put chrome door trim around the screen and noticed it was much worse than without.

HD has 3 and 5 bolt screens. From what I can tell 3 bolt are late model 2005? to 2010. I can't say you won't have to trim the bottom as I have not tried one yet. I borrowed a short one from a HD friend and will slip it in to try when I loosen to put the 10" screen on. I did have to dremmel the holes when I mounted the mirrors just a bit but overall, very easy fix.

I tried putting a link in for example but not sure how and need to run. Will post a pic of the HD screen and my 10" screen for comparrison.

Jango, it looks good and I'll bet it provides much better protection than the POS Corbin. Radio is a plus on those long rides. Makes for good company. Corbins know for their crappy service. Won't don't deal with a company who can't provide the customer service necessary to support their products.

The mounting bracketry being quick release, makes another plus. Good job!

Well after testing today... I LOVE THIS THING!!!!! i can hear it at highway speeds unless the song is low ( im a metal head, rarely happens) i listened to my ipod all day via bluetooth, and if needed i can pair my phone to it, there is a microphone jack on the back so i will most likely install when i paint it. this is the $990 radio included not painted one. only prob is the 8in screen its a bit to low and the 10 inch is ordered.

Congrats, you can't beat pricing. Rear input is where I have my XM wired. I bought a Sony radio first that had a media tray for IPOD. Really cool but could never get the rear input to work so switch to the JVC with rear input. Remote is very small and I have it mounted on left control with velcro. Works great as I can adjust volume and switch source XM, IPod or FM via left thumb while riding. I drilled another hole and ran power and jack wires to the XM unit. Hidden away and still will quick release. I'm a Blues and Classic rock guy and do enjoy the tunes on the road. I guess I'm into mine for about $1,350.00 painted and with mirrors. I am very pleased with end result. Have not tried 10" screen yet but I am sure thast will complete the job nicely.
