Default Radio cutting out

I have a 08 Street Glide and while going down the road all audio will just stop. I will complete shut the radio off and power it back on then it will work sometimes, but there is times i will have to turn it on and off multiple times for it to come back on. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated thanks.

Most likely vibration damage to the main board.
Common causes would be broken fairing brackets, riser bolt impact to the bottom of the radio, any non-stock item mounted to the top of the radio, etc.
Cycling it on / off is like rebooting your computer...resets the processor and everything is ok for a while.
It is repairable...give us a call

Thanks for the help guys, I will have to look into it. I just bought the bike and the previous owner said he never had any problems with it. So we will see what happens. Yes it is the stock radio
