need radio ideas
Well my HK radio is out again.I've already done the Iron Cross repair last year.
I think they did a fine job,but these radios are garbage. So what are suggestions
for a new system?I would prefer just a new radio that will work with my hand
controls & my Hogtunes if possible.I'm sick of this junker.

Nothing will work "out of the box". However,.. the modules from Biketronics aren't very hard to install to make your handlebar controls work .
Biketronics can sell you everything you need,......and have great customer support. I think they sell Sony head units.
Lot's of options out there. Use the search function, and you'll be reading for days !!

You're gonna need a install kit. You'd be better off to get the Hawg Wired kit(metal cage). It's in a different league when compared to the biketronics kit. $50
You're gonna need the module to interface with the stock wiring and HD controls. It's $150.
They are $200 in a kit so might as well get it at once.
Sony is popular by demand. Not saying it's the best option at all, just popular.

i have the biketronics in my bike and there is nothing wrong with it the complete retro kit cost $190.00 from american classics. u can buy the sony kit or u can get a kit for alpine,jvc it just depends on the head unit u want. i bought all alpine bolted right up with no mods at all. the only thing is u wont be able to adjust bass, treble, and balance. the one from hawg wired will cost u more and its not any better then biketronics. biketronics has a liftime warranty on there modules if for any reason it goes out they will send u a new one no questions asked. and your right the HK is junk

I got up this morning to find that Iron Cross Audio has already responded
to an email that I sent them at midnight last night. I think that is some
great customer service.I'm going to pull the radio today & see what I can
see. They gave me some ideas on what to look for that caused this issue.
Thanks for all the advice.I know that when I changed the bars & went to
a new top clamp,there was an issue with it touching the radio & causing
vibration.That's the 1st thing I'm checking.
