Street Glide (1998-2013)

1998 to 2013 Batwing Touring Audio Upgrades

This collection covers the 1998 to 2013 batwing Touring platform, which includes the 2006 to 2013 Street Glide and compatible Electra Glide and Ultra models. The Street Glide arrived for the 2006 model year, so earlier batwing bikes are Electra Glide and Ultra models on the same fairing. These bikes use a conventional analogue audio system with a nominal 5.25 inch front fairing speaker, which makes them straightforward and rewarding to upgrade.

Because the system is analogue and speaker-level, a new speaker, amplifier or head unit integrates cleanly without the digital interfaces newer bikes need. Start with the 5.25 inch fairing speakers, or step up to 6.5 inch with an adapter where the fairing has clearance, then add an amplifier and rear or saddlebag speakers. A direct-fit CarPlay head unit is a popular upgrade on these bikes since the factory radio is dated.

Choosing the Right System for Your Bike

• Simple analogue platform: a nominal 5.25 inch front speaker and speaker-level wiring make upgrades clean.
• Fairing first: 5.25 inch fairing speakers, or 6.5 inch with an adapter where the fairing allows.
• Add clean power: a compact amplifier for real output.
• Modern screen: a direct-fit CarPlay head unit for the dated factory radio.
• Australian stock and support: local stock, warranty handling and advice based on Australian batwing builds.
