I was on the Audio forum and read an old post that there was more chat in the touring section. The one thing that I did get out of the audio forum was upgrading the head unit is a must.Thanks

I am curious to why upgrading the head unit is a must. Clarity or bluetooth compatibility .

The bluetooth is the main feature. All the posts I read said replacing the head unit was one of the best investments in upgrading your bikes system. Just looking to educate myself.
Scary part, I haven't even started discussing engine upgrades to my 96 and stretched bags....

Slightly above your budget, but this I believe is the best option. I have one on my bike and I like it.
The Rockford Fosgate PMX-HD9813.

I put the Aquatic in my 2009 Streetglide. Plug and play replacement for the Harmon Kardon. Full handlebar control and plenty of power. You may consider replacing the speakers at the same time.

What speakers did you upgrade to? And are you happy with them?

I have the Hogtunes upgraded speakers in mine as well and I’m very happy with them. Still running the stock Harmon head unit, but will be getting the Aquatic AV unit soon.

i had the aquatic av unit. the only negative that i had was that the display gets totally washed out in the daylight.
looking at the fusion, you're right. it is ugly. why put something like that on your bike? you have a nice bike, don't ugly it up. the av also has more power in the internal amp, and does provide rca outputs if you decide you want to go with an aftermarket amp. sure, it's a little more expensive, but it is a better system. plus, do you wanna be looking at that ugly system every time you ride?
