I personally run the J&M 250 watt amp on my 2009 Street Glide and find it to be enough volume and power during highway trips at speeds exceeding 85MPH/90MPH.
You will be pleased with the results the J&M amp provides.
I kept the stock Harman/Kardon headunit and I feel that it is a decent headunit.

If you haven't done so already, you should contact Biketronics. I suggest that because the Biketronics amp rated at 75W RMS per channel, driving 6.5" Titan speakers from Biketronics should deliver plenty of sound at about 1/2 or slightly more of the volume setting on the HK radio. The amp comes with a lifetime warranty so if that's the problem, BT will replace it free of charge.
I'd suspect that the amp is defective because before I added anything to my sytem, I could clearly hear music from the HK head unit and 5.25" speakers at interstate speeds with Rinehart True Duals. And the volume setting on the HK wasn't maxed out.
With the Arc 125.2, there's no way I could put the HK volume to max without hurting my ears; 1/2 or slightly more is all that's needed at 80 or so mph.
Check the amp.

PS: When you originally said you had an amp, I assumed (wrongly) that it was a HogTunes or other modestly powered amp. But 75W per channel is about the max available short of bridging a 300W Hawg-Wired amp, or putting something in a saddlebag or tour pak.

I have a Biketronics amp and 6.5 speakers, and at 1/2 volume is loud. This system is a good system.
You may have a bad amp.

No, there is no head unit that will, by itself, work with the handlebar controls. Biketronics and Hawg-wired offer outstanding interface modules that are plug and play with a large variety of aftermarket head units to preserve handlebar controls of the head unit--check their websites and/or do a search; tons of folks have used them.
Iron Cross Audio are experts on the Harman Kardon head unit and offer a variety of great services, including adding pre-amp outputs to the HK:

Also, as nice as this Audio forum may become, you'll get far greater responses posting your questions on the Touring Forum which is where almost all audio related threads/information is/are posted.

Hawg-wired offers several 150W, two channel amps providing 75W per channel @ 4 ohms; and a 300W amp that can be configured for two or four channel operation. The latter is probably the most powerful amp available for mounting inside the fairing and costs close to $1K.[/QUOTE]
Yea, got a kick outta the progress since 2010, seeing $1k cost for 300W amp!
