I believe they are required to maintain parts for 10 years. That part does not have to be the same as the one installed - can be an upgraded part - but, must fit and function as the original.

Think you will find it here. I like what I see - but, am still hopeful for the android auto

I find it hard to believe, anyone would pay $1500 to upgrade to another Harley radio. Especially since you can get a better Sony for under $600.

Better is a subjective term..... depends on what you want, and how you use the radio...

If you want it to fully integrate with all the OEM buttons, controls, and headset plug... I believe the HD radio is the only game in town....

I am with Hadditude on this. While I am always looking to save money, there are some features that the Harley radio has that the Sony does not.

First, I can reuse my current XM radio. Plus, I can also use my CB - our HOG groups uses this all the time when group riding. Add to that, I can continue to use my intercom system.

I agree. For the Limited guys the Boom is better. For the FLHX guys the Sony would be A good option.

Harley is selling less bikes , maybe they have a warehouse full of radios they don't want to get stuck with when they come out with something new next year.
