Harley Audio Builds
Workshop builds, demo bikes and customer installs.
Every build is different. Here you'll find systems we've built and installed ourselves, the demo bikes we develop and test on, and builds our customers have fitted themselves using equipment we supplied, configured and supported.
Some are large, multi-stage systems. Others are two speakers and a head unit. Both are here on purpose — the right system is the one that suits the bike, the rider and what they want from it, not the one with the most boxes in it.
Browse through what's here. If you see something close to what you're after, get in touch and we'll talk through your bike.
