I installed the first sound stream amp in a car instead of the bike because I wasn't ready yet and so far I'm very impressed with the little amplifier now that I'm going to be pulling a trailer for the big long trek some camping trips I'm not opposed also throw in a set of 6x9's in the saddlebags

For starters, if you're swapping the head unit, you'll need an install kit as aftermarket radios are about half of the size of the HK. You'll also need a kit to maintain handlebar controls, if you still want them. There are many companies that make both (sosche, biketronics, ect) so no worries there but for both, you're looking at 150-200 bucks. Best thing to do is check out Crutchfield, as they will put the whole kit together for you, for a decent price.

I believe you'll be pretty happy with the SS amp and the Kappas. I hear nothing but good things about both, especially if you're just wanting to get louder and clearer audio as compared to stock. I'm sure the same can be said for those 6x9s, but I can't speak for them as I have no experience with them.

I'm running the amp and speakers and think they're about the best bang for the buck. You might want to look into one of the aftermarket plug and play HU's if your on a budget. They fit in the oem location and the hand controls will work without a control inerface module.

There are two companies out there making plug and play HU's. Jensen is one and Aquatic is the other. I installed a Jenson on a friends bike a few years ago and it sounded pretty good. IronMark and a few others here installed the Aquatic recently and gave good reviews.
