Head Units – Touring Batwing 1998–2013
Head Units for 1998 to 2013 Batwing Touring
The 1998 to 2013 batwing Touring bikes (the 2006 to 2013 Street Glide, plus Electra Glide and Ultra models on the same fairing) use a conventional radio aperture in the batwing fairing, which makes them one of the easiest platforms to fit a modern head unit. Replacing the dated factory radio with a model-specific replacement head unit adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and transforms how you use the bike. Non-amplified bikes are generally straightforward; if the bike has a factory amplifier, identify the amplifier and speaker wiring before ordering, since additional bypass or integration parts may be required.
This collection carries the SoundStream head units built for this platform, including the SG.V2, WHD.SG and WHD.9813, matched to the batwing fairing and factory wiring. Match the head unit to your exact model and year, and build the rest of the system around it with an amplifier and upgraded speakers.
