yes sir there are several manufacturers to choose from.
and then there are several different manufacturers to choose from for handlebar control kits.
As for radios some of your options are;
Sony
Alpine
Pioneer
Kenwood
JVC
The most important thing to pay attention to when buying a radio is whether or not it has the wired remote input/steering wheel control on the back of it otherwise you won't have the ability to retain handlebar controls. Next would be the features you want.
As for handelbar control kits there are a few out there
Hawg-Wired
Biketronics
PAC
Scosche
and others
The advantage Biketronics has over all the others is it retains the AVC (automatic volume control) feature like your stock radio has (volume goes up and down as you increase and decrease speed). To some this is not important and will certainly be a less expensive route to go, but to others it is important and to me personally worth the extra cost.
The PAC and Scosche adapters will be more difficult to install because they are not plug and play as the Hawg-Wired and Biketronics kits are.
