Fusion MS-RA70 Stereo Replacement
Looking for some advise. Want to upgrade my audio on a 2008 Street Glide. I see lots of posts on speakers and amps but not a bunch of specific info on the stereo. I am looking at the Fusion MS-RA70. It's not pretty but it looks waterproof. Only need bluetooth, no CD. Has anyone installed this unit. If yes, any lessons learned.
Appreciate any and all feedback. Cheers

They say it’s IPx7 water resistant and being a marine unit I wouldn’t worry about that part of it. Personally I would care about not being able to us my handle bar controls as I highly doubt they would work anymore. The Aquatic AV unit is designed for HD’s and retains full handlebar controls.

I never said you dont need handlebar controls and I highly doubt this Fusion unit will recognize Harleys handlebar controls.

Absolutely want to keep handlebar controls. I looked at the Aquatic as well. I did see some posts about the Marine style Sony and Kenwoods not handling the weather so I figure there must be some better options. $500-600 budget.
Thanks

Lol, sorry guy. Got you and the OP mixed up. I was puzzled by the statement "highly doubt handlebar controls work" I thought it referred to the existing controls on the 08 StreetGlide not working. Didn't realize you meant with the Fusion unit. Grade 5 was the best three years of my life.
