5.25" Speakers
5.25 inch Speakers for Harley-Davidson Touring
The 5.25 inch driver is the factory front fairing size on the 1998 to 2013 batwing and Sharknose bikes, and it returns as the standard front size on selected 2024 and newer Skyline models. If your bike uses a 5.25 inch front position, a compatible 5.25 inch motorcycle speaker is the nominal-size replacement for the position you hear most, provided its basket, depth, bolt pattern, impedance and weather protection suit the factory pod. Because the same nominal size spans very different platforms, confirm the fitment for your exact bike before choosing.
This collection carries 5.25 inch coaxial and horn-loaded speakers in 2Ω and 4Ω from Cicada, Precision Power and more. Match the size and impedance to your amplifier. Where your fairing allows, a platform-specific adapter may allow a compatible 6.5 inch driver, subject to basket, magnet, depth and grille clearance. Confirm your factory speaker and pods before ordering.

FAQ
Does my bike use 5.25 inch front speakers?
1998 to 2013 batwing and Sharknose bikes use a nominal 5.25 inch front speaker, and selected 2024 and newer Skyline standard models use 5.25 inch too. Confirm the fitment for your exact bike.
Can I fit a 6.5 inch instead?
In some cases yes: a platform-specific adapter may allow a compatible 6.5 inch driver, provided there is sufficient basket, magnet and grille clearance. An adapter changes the mount, not the physical depth, so check it against your fairing.
Coaxial or horn-loaded?
A horn-loaded design is generally chosen for higher sensitivity and stronger projection at riding volume, while a conventional coaxial may favour a simpler install and broader tonal balance. Compare published sensitivity, power handling and frequency response rather than choosing by architecture alone.
Do 5.25 inch speakers need an amplifier?
Many aftermarket 5.25 inch speakers benefit from a correctly matched amplifier, particularly high-output models. Some are designed as factory-radio replacements, so check the recommended power and impedance. See the amplifiers.
