So I see a lot of post about upgrading the stereo on the Indians. I had a 15 Roadmaster that I had to upgrade took it to the shop dropped it off. Few days later I went to pick it up and to my surprise I had an amp in the saddle bag not what I was wanting but was told there was no room under the fairing. Well I travel I use my saddle bags along with the trunk, and this amp cause problems for one a pain in the ass to take the bag off and another had to keep shit from touching the amp because yes it did get hot and had to keep air flowing. Pretty much made the saddle bag useless other than for smalls. I traded it in for a 19 Roadmaster and I decided no more I went with the upgraded stereo on it speaker lids, new speakers for fairing and tour pack. It came at a costly price but sounds good can hear it at 90 mph so I’m happy with it.
I recently picked up a 18 chieftain limited and my wheels began to turn. I needed more sound. But refused to do an amp in the saddle bag. So her is what I did. I’ve got a Memphis amp behind the windshield motor,I have a Rockford Dsr1 mounted beside the windshield gear and a sound digital amp mounted where the factory amp was installed. I’m pushing a 1000 watts to a set of jl audio 8.8 speakers in the lids and a pair of Ds18 5.25 speakers in the fairing. Yes it is crowded yes my windshield still goes up and down and yes it jams. I’m wishing I would have went this route on the Roadmaster because I’m in it for about half of the cost of the Indian upgraded stereo and it’s at least twice as good probably more. But with some time and effort it can be done. And I also was able to do it without cutting any factory wires in less than a day I could have the stock system back in it
