Lost my Radio Clock

The digital clock on my radio disappeared, but the radio still works in good order. The bike is an '06 FLHTCI and I'm assuming the radio needs to be repaired or replaced. I'm trying to decide whether the missing "time" is worth the cost of repair. Thoughts?

Only you can decide if the time is worth the money.
On the one hand you could get a stick on clock for the faring for very little cost.
On the other it might be a good time to go aftermarket for a radio with more modern features like bluetooth.
I don't think repair is much of an option as I don't believe that Iron Cross will repair that model radio.

I would look at a watch or the sun. The last time I needed an HK radio it was under warranty but the receipt said $550.00.

Why wouldn't they? '06 to '13 models use the same HK Radio.

Could be as simple as dirty contacts where the face plate connects to the head unit. Next time you have the outer fairing off pull the radio and clean the contacts between the face plate and the HU with some electrical contact cleaner.
