Default Audio - 05 FLHTCI (std)

Hey Guy's,
I just picked up a 2005 Harley Standard with only 1654 miles on it.. Well as we all know the Standard came from the factory Without the Harmon-Kardon am-fm-cd.
I am going nuts without my radio. Anyone have any ideas on a EASY to install unit that would be a plug and play ? I know a factory used unit will work but what years will work on the 05 model ?
Not looking for anything fancy just something that will work with the stock controls....

Thanks Guy's

Yes Sir! You want to go with an aftermarket radio on that bike. The HK radio's had some issues from 2006-2013. You don't want that radio in your bike as it won't last very long.
Might as well suck it up and do it right! Doesn't have to cost very much to get good sound on your sled. Here's a good cheap set up that sounds dam good to get you back in the game.

Radio:

Hand Controls:

Speaker adapters:

Speakers:

This is a good sounding two speaker set up that you will hear at 80 mph for less than $500 bucks. Can't beat it! You will also need 8 gauge power and ground and 16 gauge speaker wire. Easy set up that takes about a 12 pak to complete. If you need help setting up we're here 24/7 and you can always hit me on the PM.
