I sent my radio to a shop in Milwaukee. They replaced the belts for the cassette and motherboard. It’s been 15 years so I’ll try to find my paperwork and get the information back to you. I still love that radio for the uniqueness. I sent my stereo to West Side Radio in Milwaukee Wisconsin. If memory serves me well the motherboard was a common one

Nothing so far. I bought a 2010 Ultra Glide and the restoration of 86 has slowed down; thinking about selling it. One thought I had was to replace the space of the radio with a glove box and wire it up for an Ipod.
