Recommendations for amp
I have a ultra classic and already put a sony radio in with the biketronics module to retain the stock controls. I also upgraded the speakers to JL Audio and it sounds good. But at highway speeds it could be better. I have done alot of reading on the forums and people using the the RF PBR300 but i from what i can tell it doesnt have RCA hook ups and i would like to use them if possible so im looking for other recommendations on a amp that has RCA

I have a SG and run the Rockford PBR 300x2 it's great for a 2 ohm 2 speaker SG set up. I
I see u have an ULtra Classic so I assume you want to use at least 4 speakers. The Soundstream Nanno gets great reviews check out the audio forums, it's well priced performs great and if I'm not mistaken can be used with RCA jacks (? Can some one confirm this?)

On an ultra your best bet is the Sound stream pn520 nano cause you need a 4 channel. And RCA's suck. Better off cutting the RCA's off and going with highlevel. However the Soundsteam does have RCA inputs...if those speakers are 2 ohm then you can't use the 4 channel PBR as it is 4ohm. I don't believe that RF makes the PBR in a 4 chan 2ohm. My buddy just switched from the PBR to the soundstream and he is happy with the result.
Why is that? I don't have any issues with mine? I don't listen to the radio a lot but often enough. I don't get any more interference that I would in my truck...

Yours is the exception then. Lots of people having problems with class D amps and poor radio reception, including me. I lost 3/4 of the stations I used to be able to get. It even gets worse traveling certain directions.

And rollnthunder- if you switched to 4ohm you might be better off with the 4 channel PBR then. I know a few people that have them, however they as we'll as others here on the forum report that the 4 channel gets hot. I'd do a search on it here, and also reach out to forum member ultranutz. He's an audio guru. He might be able to point you in the right direction and recommend a good set up for you. I know he just recently switched his head unit out to a Sony as well. I'm still running the HK unit.
