• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Audio Upgrade - Does anyone know what specific load the amp is looking for?

    No doubt! I was thinking I wouldn’t get any info and showed my appreciation. Time is money. But yes, I’ve watched several videos, particularly from Volunteer Audio. No clue why the use of a 47-ohm resistor is required for the Harley’s. That raised quite the red flag for me. Our Spyder electrical...

    Audio Upgrade - Does anyone know what specific load the amp is looking for?

    I put front and rear Kicker KM44s in shortly after I purchased mine. I took the front ones back out though. You get a little more midbass, but clarity is what you achieve by doing this. A little louder, yes, but with coax speakers in the front and back, the sound was WAY too bright. Still, not...

    Audio Upgrade - Does anyone know what specific load the amp is looking for?

    I’m not sure how the Harley Street and Road Glides work, but I know that they require a 47-ohm load resistor in-line to trick the amp into thinking that the factory speakers are connected, when in fact they aren’t, as a new speaker wire is run from the amp(s). 47-ohm is much higher than the 4-...

    Audio Upgrade - Does anyone know what specific load the amp is looking for?

    Yes, the speaker are all 4-ohm. Doesn’t do any good for what I’m trying to figure out though. But… I’ve talked to installers today and all have said the only issue is feedback if a low-end system is installed and subpar wiring. I’m good to go.

    2018 RT speaker & amp upgrade wiring problems - need help. What color/is there a signal wire from head unit to amp?

    I’m unsure of the ‘18’s, but my ‘24 has CAN communication between the amp and dash. Not keeping the factory amp alive will cause problems. All you need to do is tap into the left and right speaker wires in the back under the pillion seat and use those as the high-level inputs for your amp. Run a...

    Audio Upgrade - Does anyone know what specific load the amp is looking for?

    Yes, all six channels come directly from the amp. I can measure when I remove the speakers, I just wanted to have what I needed before tearing this thing apart. If no one knows, I’ll continue with testing.

    Audio Upgrade - Does anyone know what specific load the amp is looking for?

    I didn’t see a thread on this already, so here goes. Forgive me if I missed it/them. I’m engineering a large audio upgrade on my '24 RTL. I have everything planned and mapped out, but one question remains. I’m assuming the factory amp is looking for a signal/load when powered on. I know Harley’s...

    Now we know. BRP Go! Is still alive and well. Maps works, but you have to keep the app open and phone unlocked to see it, so I couldn’t switch over to my camera to snap a pic. No more saying it won’t happen, cuz it just did. And make sure you’re plugged into a charger. If the voltage drops below...

    Yeah, I listened for that, but he didn’t specify. You wait months and put out a little advert blip on the gram, but don’t give solid info. And if you call them, they don’t give any info at all.

    Which is weird because it says on-road motorcycles and available for 2025 and 2026 models.

    They are pretty deceptive then. (I apologize. I don’t know how to make this link smaller.)

    Screw BRP! The new navigation features being released are for 2025 and 2026 models only. What a joke!!

    My 2024 RTL Top Case has Excessive Movement - anyone experience this phenomenon?

    Update: I don’t see any way to adjust the play. The “studs” appear to be one bar that goes across the entire backend. Thank you for that! When I found spacers under the trunk did nothing, noticed it was the vertical play that was excessive. Didn’t even look to see if I could adjust the studs...

    Has anyone found a USB that will fit the extra slot on '24 RT's console?

    Finally! Carling series V to series L adapter. Part number CVA-01. Snapped tightly in place, and my USBA/C voltmeter rocker-style switch also snapped in tightly. Perfect solution!

    You’re right, it charges slow, but does work for my new iPhone. I have another thread on here talking about finding a Carling L-style USB charger for the blank spot on the console, but there is nothing available that fits. Probably going to add the charging dock to the handlebar bolts. My...
