Without any info it's hard to advise.
Under warranty? Take it to the dealer.
Not in warranty? Call Iron Cross.
Tired of the Harmon Kardon? Get a Biketronics kit and an aftermarket head unit.
What is the radio not doing/doing. I'm not sure what that trouble code means.

it means front left or right speaker open. this will happen if you have an amp installed because the radio cannot see the speaker directly but instead sees the amp and doesn't know what to do with it.
if you have an amp in the system, you'll get the B2017 code and can be ignored.
or in some odd chance, the speakers (if no amp is present) got disconnected.

well I'd certainly take a "look-see" to make sure the speakers didn't get disconnected some how. If you find them still connected, I'd just replace the speakers. Plenty of 2 ohm 6.5" speakers out there to choose from. Just make sure you get the 6.5" adapter rings to mount them to the fairing.

Means someplace in your front speaker wiring something is not connected, could be as simple as a unpluged speaker wire.

open up the radio and clean up any corrosion from water on the board.
