    Harley should run the wires for it at the factory, then it would have been so plug and play and easy. No reason not too, that plug would protect the unused wire and it would make it far easier for anyone to spend the $1000+ on the Rockford Fosgate system, which should be their goal.

    Miss Heather; I do not know if it will work for you but, I have downloaded the Free Pandora App, Free I-Heart Radio App and because I have a SiriusXM account in my GMC, I downloaded the SiriusXM App with No Fee to my IPhone 12Pro and I Bluetooth them thru my HD system on my '21 Tri-Glide... I like the Pandora the best because I can set-up and use my music list... You will enjoy the music on your bike, however just remember to not bounce/dance around too much while riding... Great vid, please keep up the excellent vid content... Ride Safe and Have A Wonderful Day... 🎼

    The one thing that was depressing me about the new Low Rider St was that it did not have music capability. My last bike was a 2000 Street Glide and the first upgrade I made was new pipes and an upgraded stereo system as I dig music on long cruises. I just found out today that there is this aftermarket sound system that can be installed on an ST which makes me so happy as this now is the perfect bike for me. I am not a wrench so of course would have the dealer install the system. Just curious after I change the pipes and do a stage 2 upgrade if the stereo will be loud enough to hear music over the louder pipes. I also read which is so damn cool that the stereo automatically increases in volume depending on your riding style so at lower speeds the stereo lowers automatically and increases the volume at high speeds. So just curious how it sounded to you if you have changed the pipes on your bike. Thanks so much for the great videos. You have a new subscriber. Safe travels my friend🙏

  • @amberbali8881

    Hey Heather, great install. A tip for you when doing the pins (Molex), buy a set of the small, eye glass/jewlers screw drivers at Harbor freight or other stores. The ones that come in a plastic case with the clear top (contains both phillips and flat screw drivers). The smallest flat screw driver works like a charm. I have several pin tools and that one is my go to especially if you are depinning (not just removing the plug). The small screwdriver will lift the retaining tab inside the slot Anthony pointed out to release the pin on amp and molex pins and sockets.

    Not much on the market is truly "plug and play". That is why I went strictly aftermarket. There are installer's who take aftermarket equipment and make it 100% plug and play and will ship the product to you. Carlos Ramirez at NVS Audio, and Jay Bradshaw at Volunteer Audio is phenomenal in this area.

Also wanted to ask, after riding that seat for a while, what are your thoughts? I like the idea of a seat with lumbar support. I see that Mustang seats has a solo seat with lumbar support too. Thanks for all the great clips!

    Question... I have an El Diablo that already has the sound system. I want to install heated grips but I can't find a good video for how to do it on the Lowrider ST. I know you need to connect a wire harness that would be similar to the job you did. I'm wondering if because my bike came with the sound system, I would already have the harness that I could plug the grips into. If anyone has any thoughts/advice, I would really appreciate it. By the way, Heather, you Rock! Keep up the good work.
