Default upgrade 2002 FLHTCUI

After I rudely stepped all over someone else' thread...here's my own -

Fo my 2002 FLHTCUI stock audio system.
What's your budget? $800 I think is reasonable.

Current radio installed and do you plan on upgrading it to aftermarket? Yes

Do you plan on upgrading just the two fairing speakers or the tourpak speakers also? All 4 speakers

Is FM reception important? No

Do you plan on doing the install yourself? Yes. I am a very good mechanic and understand electronics, wiring and such.

And finely, what are your expectations from this upgrade? I am a touring rider and take 3-4 long trips a year, along with several 1000 mile weekends. I like to be able to hear the tunes from my Garmin 665, which has the satellite receiver with it. I like the ability to have GPS directions over the radio. Not opposed to changing satellite receivers. I do use the CB on occasion with my GoldWing friends, but that is via headset.

I just got back on another Harley, and had a nice J&M setup on my 1989 in the 1990's. But so much has changed since then.

And why are the HD specific radios so expensive with the loss of the intercom and the CB?

Most aftermarket single din radios will work along with a mounting kit. The CB/intercom work through the stock radio along with the handlebar controls. Several company's make modules for the handlebar controls but I have not heard of any that have come up with a solution for the CB/intercom.
