Many people have been very happy with the "retro radio" kit from Biketronics. It gives all mounting hardware, and an adaptor that allows certain Sony car radios to work using the handle bar contols on your bike. You should be able to get the kit, a decent high power radio and a pair of speakers for about $500.

Hawg-Wired also offers a kit to work with various models of Sony radios. They also have a speaker kit as well. The HW kit is compatible with your handlebar controls.
