Road Glide (1998-2013)
Audio upgrades confirmed compatible with the 1998–2013 Road Glide and Road Glide Custom — the shark-nose fairing platform with analogue audio. The shark-nose fairing uses a 5.25" front speaker position in the inner fairing, with saddlebag positions that vary by year. The 1998–2013 Road Glide uses a conventional analogue head unit with direct speaker-level outputs — straightforward amplifier connection, no interface required.
The shark-nose fairing on this generation is shallower in the speaker cavity than the batwing equivalent, which creates basket depth constraints for some aftermarket 5.25" speakers. MAA notes fitment depth in the product specifications for Road Glide 5.25" speakers. Adaptor rings and foam gaskets are standard on most Road Glide builds to achieve a correct seal and reduce fairing-to-speaker vibration.
The pre-2014 Road Glide has a loyal following — the shark-nose fairing and distinctive character make it worth building properly. If you're upgrading a pre-2014 Road Glide and want to understand the best path for your specific year, call us. Ships Australia-wide and to New Zealand.
