I have a 2013 Limited with Stock Harmin Kardin Head Unit and Hogtunes speakers in front fairing. I want to keep the handelbar controls but would like to improve the sound quality.

Post this in the audio section. You can keep your audio controls with an aftermarket radio if you install the metra axxess kit. Dont expect much better just with a head unit tho

Define what you mean by "improve the sound quality". There's likely not much improvement in sq by replacing the HU alone but you can get way louder and better sound with a new amp and speakers. What's your budget and are you able to pull it all together yourself (what's your skill level)? As mentioned, the search function is your friend and this topic has been discussed every which way from Sunday so many times.
