You can fix the problems w/the head unit as you have fixed the issue w/the shocks... go aftermarket (Garmin or others for GPS, and others for stereo if that is a concern).
When you accept the status quo of a product (as you have stated previously when you accepted and changed things <shocks>) then you can do it for other features that don't work as you want.
My post is not to berate you up nor get on a 
... there IMO will never be a product that satisfies everyone completely... it's up to the individual to customize/satisfy themselves as to what they want on the product <their bike>.

Shocks are a rather simple replacement, easy to do, and relatively inexpensive. When this bike gets traded in 12 months or so, the factory shocks will be back on the bike, with less than 1K miles on them.
The head unit is a very expensive proposition to replace, and very difficult to get it to work with all the hand controls. You are looking at thousands of dollars.
The shocks I knew sucked bad before I ever bought the bike.
However the shocks did work as designed, there have been no updates or fixes for the shocks. I had no clue the head unit and GPS had so many issues.
The head unit had many features that did not work, and others that worked wrong. Thats a big difference. The head unit gets a update every couple months to fix issues. I would love the head unit and GPS if it worked correctly.
You are correct, I accepted the product knowing the shocks sucked. Had I know the GPS would not point the correct way for a turn, nor route me the shortest distance when thats what its set for, that AVC did not work, that it would dim, and not go bright until you turned the bike off, that it would not advance songs on the iPod, or skip songs, that which the sun on your back you could not see the screen I may have rethought my purchase. That said most the above issues have slowly been fixed over the past 16 months. Time zones and volume fluctuations are the big issues remaining.
Certainly true. Fortunately we still have freedom of choice in this country. I am simply trying to balance things out a little on this website. It seems as though all we hear is how rotten MOCO is with the same complaint posts that continue over and over, and don't hear enough from the customers who are completely satisfied with the very same product. I personally believe there are absolutely far more that are satisfied otherwise they would not be buying them. Over six thousand 2015 FLHXSE's sold is not exactly exhibiting slower sales, and a loss in confidence in the product.
You did not see these complaints about my 09 SERG that I put 45K miles on. You did not see any of these complaints on my 12 SERG that with 46K miles on it I traded on my 15 SERGU. You did not and do not see complaints on my 13 SERK. So, 4 CVO's since 09, over 130K miles since 09 and I have ONE major complaint.
My complaint on this bike is for a valid reason. The head unit was rushed into production with Many flaws in the audio system and Nav system. 3 years into production they still have issues with the Head Unit. Many have been fixed, but there still are some. I may be more aware of the head unit short comings than many as my bike has 31K on it, not a lot of 15's with more miles. I do know of one, he has 2K more than me.
