Aftermarket stereo
Hello,
My HK stereo is starting to have problems with the sound cutting out and I'm thinking about going with a aftermarket stereo.
Any suggestions on a head unit that won't break the bank?
Is there a way to still use the handle bar controls with the new head unit?
Thanks in advance

I did what post two recommended, I choose a different sony head unit BT4000P. I wanted Blu Tooth and USB. I bought mine off ebay for 135 shipped

My only complaint it I wish in the head unit, I could shut off the options/ inputs, that I did not want, so I would not have to scroll through them.
Sound quality is as good as you can expect from an almost 100 head unit. It blows the factory one out the door.

I sent mine off to Iron Cross Audio and had my stock unit reworked. Very happy with the results.

I went to a sony head unit. The DSX 200 lets you use your iPod instead of CDs that skip and I also use the wring kit from hogg wire that let me keep al of my handlebar controls.

I just finished doing this myself and I have to tell you the sound difference is night and day. I also have a Arc audio mini. I went with the Sony 310btx. $189 on EBay. What costs more was the harness. I went with the Hawg Wire kit and still have handlebar controls. The kit was very easy, all plug and play. The kit was $270 with tax and shipping
