Default Handlebar stereo control

I have a Dyna so I don't have the stereo OEM stereo control on the handlebar. See my build below ('12 Fat Bob now a Fat Glide)

I saw a universal handlebar stereo control similar to the OEM at a bike show but now I cannot find it.

So anyone have some recommendations of who offers one?

Yep seen those but wasn't looking to replace everything. This was simply a button panel that mounted inside of the clutch lever with a volume button and selection button.

yeah no kidding.. but realistically it does come as a kit so the pricing isn't bad . Control switches and wiring, control housings, levers.

The last option above is just the switches with wiring.. couple that with this and you're good to go for under $200

Hmm, interesting, that might work. Need to check to see if it would work with the Kenwood.

Ya could just get the Radio switches and lower control switch holders housing. But there are control setups on ebay pretty cheap from guys switching to chrome. Ness used to have button controls?

Another good suggestion. Amazing how bad HD has missed the aftermarket opportunity for the Dyna line. There is so much demand for so much. All that is needed is simply puruse the Forums to see the market.
I checked eBay as recommended and total cost would be about $145, not bad. Now to figure out if the Kenwood KIV-701 is comparable with them.

Well I checked the Kenwood manual and it indicates in order to use the vehicle remote control you need an exclusive remote adapter that matches the vehicle. It does not mention what that is our where to acquire one.
Next idea is to see about mounting the remote on the handlebars.
