Time to Upgrade: Installing A Rockford Fosgate radio in the bike. Do You need One?

[@rockfordfosgate]

Great install video. Nice touch by adding the dielectric grease to the connector!

I wanna hear it brotha, I got the hog tunes XL and I’m debating the new radio

[@Wessoncustoms]

I have two videos one with just the speakers and the radio playing and one where I installed an amp.

It says USB connectivity but I don’t see a USB port anywhere on the front. Thinking about getting this but if I can’t charge my phone that’s a dealbreaker. Does it have one?

[@Wessoncustoms]

It has a usb port but its not on the front its on the back of the radio. You’ll have to plug your cable in a run it the way you want it. I use the cigarette lighter plug to charge my phone so I don’t have to deal with that. For the features of the radio its really nice.

I have this radio on my 2009 Harley Davidson ultra classic. But the handlebar controls do not work any idea why? Thanks in advance

[@Wessoncustoms]

With it being plug and play they should work I know i didn’t have to do no special wiring. I would check your connections and put some dielectric grease on them. Where the bars changed out?

[@rockfordfosgate]

If you added new handlebars, the harness was likely extended, causing the thumb control to stop working. The thumb control works on resistive values, and is not CANbus controlled. We released a software update that allows you to customize this “resistive” setting to make your thumb control work again: Handlebar Control rftech.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1401/ Software Downloads rftech.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1358/

What speakers are you running?

[@Wessoncustoms]

Hogtunes 352-XLF 5.25 they sound amazing paired with the Rockfordfosgate with having more eq setting

[@WAKO426]

@@Wessoncustoms thanks for fast reply! What ohm are they I should have said that been long day 😆

[@Wessoncustoms]

There 2 ohm. They work great just off the radio power and get pretty loud. With Hogtunes speakers can add to them to get the sound or loudnesses you want

@@Wessoncustoms thanks rubberside down!!

[@Supermankev2001]

So how has it worked for you? I want to install one of these on my bike I subscribed I also post motorcycle content.

[@Wessoncustoms]

It worked great but started having a glitch where it started keeping the amp on. Because I didn’t go through a dealer I couldn’t get it fixed as far as the the features for sound quality it was awsome!
