{"title":"Head Units – Trike Touring","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHead Units for the Harley-Davidson Tri Glide® Ultra and Freewheeler®\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHead-unit options for Harley's trikes follow the same rules as the two-wheel Touring range, decided by model year. The Tri Glide® Ultra is a faired batwing trike, so its head-unit options match the equivalent batwing bike for each year. Pre-2014 trikes use a conventional radio aperture, 2014 to 2023 trikes run the factory Boom! Box radio, and 2024 and newer trikes use Skyline OS with A2B digital audio. The Freewheeler® is unfaired, so plan its front end around its own layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Different on a Trike\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a 2014 to 2023 Tri Glide, the same wireless CarPlay head units used on the batwing apply, so see the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/head-units-touring-batwing-2014-2023\"\u003e2014 to 2023 batwing head units\u003c\/a\u003e. On a 2024 and newer trike, Skyline OS makes a direct head-unit swap impractical, so the practical path is to keep the factory unit and add amplification through a compatible A2B interface. The real trike-specific gain is tuning: the longer distance from the front stage to the rear listening position makes a DSP with time alignment more audibly worthwhile than on a two-wheeler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E6E6E6;padding:12px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;\"\u003eWhat head unit fits a 2014 to 2023 Tri Glide?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tri Glide® Ultra is a faired batwing trike, so the same wireless CarPlay head units used on the 2014 to 2023 batwing apply.
