Yessir it does. For another 200 bones you could have a nice aftermarket HU and a mount and handlebar thumb control interface and you have numerous ways to listen to your tunes. Besides, who listens to FM other than folks in a cage.

Edited the post of components. You'll need the LOC to be able to use low level inputs. Or you could just use high level.

ok I'm thinking maybe the Head unit too. What's the thumb thing you speak of?

It's the interface that allows your thumb controls to work the new HU.

Do you have a head unit in mind?

Speaking of FM, I have an IPOD nano that has built in FM. I tested it with my SS pn4.1000 and in the driveway going 3.5mm to the head unit 3.5 aux in I got good FM in the driveway. I will take a road trip in the morning and report back.

I have the Kenwood 998 HU and it is great. I use the biketronics retro radio kit. Everything works like it should. This HU is above my pay grade I don't use it to its potential

Kenwood is a good HU. They're just hard to see in the daylight. That's why I prefer the Sony's. There's a couple different ways to go with mounts and interface for hand controls. Biketronics has a plug n play unit but it's very pricy. Metra has a mount and interface for around $80.
