I recently picked up this nice 2012 CVO Ultra Classic. It was missing the Garman GPS unit. Does anyone know what is an up-to-date replacement for this GPS unit?
That was a great color scheme, congrats on the bike! I would forget that gps module, hook up a decent phone mount and use your cell phone for navigation.

100%. If you don't want your expensive phone on the bars, buy an inexpensive rugged phone to use as your gps. Kyocera phones are popular for this. You can download maps from the likes of OSM Maps if you want to do custom pre-planned routes, or just use Google maps. It's a lot less expensive this way. My Garmin GPS cost me $600 12 years ago, it won't support updated Garmin road maps, and doesn't work as well as a phone.
Any Harley with Orange in the paint scheme gets a 100% thumbs up from me!
Funny that you guys mention the Garmin issue. Ive got a Garmin that defaults to a street address. You enter 'number', then street....and it just searches, it wont even let you input state.. I was halfway thru New Hampshire once at 3 am before I noticed the GPS was taking me to the correct street ....but the WRONG town. Cell reception has improved so much in the last few years that I now rely on my phone and the Garmin sits in the junk drawer.
