HK Radio and Aftermaket Radio Advice
I'm starting to have problems with my HK radio theres no volume at times and I have to turn it off and back on to get volume. It's still under warranty...but I have read so much on how the HK radio is a POS. I'm thinking of buying a aftermarket raido and a install kit so my hand controls will still work. What would you do... let HD fix it or just buy a new radio? If I do buy a new radio what's the best radio with a USB port on the front face and with LED backlight bright enough to see in sunlight?

In my opinion, I would stick with the HD radio. The main reason is because it is waterproof. Biketronics kit has a clear plastic piece that will cover an aftermarket radio during a storm but seems to me like it would be a pain to deal with.
On the road, I use my ipod thru a headphone amp with Shure earbuds. I installed (2) 3.5mm jacks on the bike and one for the ipod input. I burned 2 cd's in mp3 format to use during beerstops. Each cd has about 125 songs on it.

Get the HK radio fixed under warranty.....
then sell it if you want the Sony/Biketronics setup. You can get $500 or so for the HK on ebay. I have the Sony/Biketronics setup - works great. Yes, the plastic shield is a nusiance once in a while but its really not that much of an issue. But by all means get the HK fixed since you have warranty and it has saleable value.
