Default radio replacement

Looking to replace original radio out of a 2003 ultra classic. What would work for this bike?

That depends on just features you are looking for. Most will need a thumb control module to link the controls to the head unit. Some things you will want to look for are white background to be seen in bright sunlight, 5v preout for better SQ and marine rated for moisture control.

Everything Gypsye said!

Give us a busget you are trying to stay with-in. Then we can give some more pointers.

Get a sony mex-m100bt and be done with it then. You would be hard pressed to find better quality than that. Since your hu is the heart and soul of any setup, spend a bit more and get a good one.
