Default Need some Radio Help!

The radio on my 03 ultra is going crazy! Cluckin down the road the thing will go blank, cut out and come back after a few miles! And it only does it when im going faster that 50mph! The radio is stock along with the speakers, the dealer has put two radios in it but that dont cure the problem! I have went thru the wiring a couple times but not havin much luck finding anything wrong!

The dealer has sent out your radio and given you back your radio?

If it's in the radio...bench testing for a problem that is probably solder joint related and caused by certain frequency vibrations which only occur on your bike at 50 MPH isnt going to help you.....What kind did the 03's have? Harmon Kardon or what?

I would suspect the power supply cable or connection.

Not pleased with the CD unit in my '03. Skips, quits when at idle. Have the factory upgraded amp and speakers. Sounds fine, and loud enough to make ears bleed.

If your radio is pre-'06 model year, contact Radio Sound, HD's vendor, and ask for customer service; they're very helpful in diagnosing problems: (502) 267-6768.

If you have an '06 or newer bike with radio problems, try Iron Cross Audio:
