EVO UC with radio issues
Does anybody know of an aftermarket replacement for a 96 EGUC radio/intercom? Biketronic has a nice system for EG without the intercom and CB but I'd like to keep both. I've surfed all the vendors I can think of and find no package or compatible parts to do what I need. One possible option is replacing the '96 radio unit with a later model but that gets real expensive real quick and I don't know for sure that it's possible. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I wonder if hamnhog found one? My factory radio was replaced by the previous owner who basically just cut all the wires for the intercom and CB! [:@] I would like to return it to stock or at least have the CB and intercom back again.

No, I have not found a suitable solution. The best bet for you might be a salvage yard or EBay. I may have to go that route myself to find a radio/intercom unit that can be repaired and then just swap it. It appears there was a big change in '98 but nobody seems to know enough to talk about what was changed. Pretty frustrating. Good luck with your problem.

RE: EVO UC with radio issues
I have located a shop that sells refurbed radios for this bike. They also sell refurbed CB's for these older models. The company name is Radio Sound in Louisville, KY. Number is 800-367-4506. They deal with the riding public for out-of-warranty repairs and with dealers for warranty work. The charge for my radio is $135 exchange for the AM/FM and the same for the CB. Kinda steep but it beats no radio or some significant loss of functions for a non-factory replacement. I will be pulling and shipping in the near future and will post the results soon after return. BTW, the tech was very helpful in providing some ways to test to see if there is really a radio problem or if it might be an antenna issue. They have some pretty firm information requirements, so call before preparing to ship them anything for repair. Just so you'll know...
