Default Harman Kardon Radio on 2010 Ultra Classic

Am I missing something or is there no way to use the grip radio controls to change between preset stations instead of using the soft keys on the radio? I know the grip controls can be used to activate the seek mode and to stop the preset scan mode but I just can't believe they expect me to change presets by pressing those little, tiny, soft keys with my big, fat, gloved finger.

You might get a better audience in the audio forum. I personally don't know.

Only way to select pre sets is by taking your hand off the handle bar and pushing those little buttons. However Harley does say regarding the wobble the bikes were not designed to be rode without both hands on the bars. Really?

Sucks but only way. I was surprised too when I got my Limited.

I'm with you guys. I too was shocked. That and volume would seem like the most used. I guess they thought people would only ride touring bikes on trips and would never have anything preset b/c they are always somewhere new?
