When it cuts in and out, is the display also going off and on or just the sound? Does it do it with any source you are listening to (radio, CD, etc.?)

Mine did that, it got worse after awhile. It was a cracked circuit board inside. You can have it fixed at Iron Cross or just get an after market stereo.

He has already gone with an aftermarket stereo and continues to have the same problem.
They are more susceptible to the vibe damage than the HK.
If all that was done was changing the head unit without addressing the vibration issue, it will continue to happen.

In that case he needs a new bike. Bummer.
