Which speakers fit a 2024 or newer Street Glide?
Three different things, and only one of them answers "what size speaker do I buy?"
- The factory driver size. On this generation it varies by trim. A standard Street Glide runs two 5.25 inch fairing speakers and no factory rear speakers. Selected Limited and CVO models use 6.5 inch.
- The factory mounting architecture. The redesigned fairing enclosures, grilles and mounting hardware differ from the 2014 to 2023 generation even where the nominal size matches, so an older speaker is not a guaranteed direct fit.
- The upgrade size that fits that architecture. Only speakers or adapter kits specifically confirmed for the redesigned fairing should be treated as direct fit.
Because these three come apart on this platform more than on any earlier one, we do not publish a single size for "the 2024 and newer batwing". Match your trim in the table below.

| Model | Factory fairing | Factory rear / other |
|---|---|---|
| Street Glide® (FLHX) | Two 5.25 inch | None |
| Street Glide® Ultra (2025) | Two 5.25 inch | None. The Ultra badge does not add a factory rear zone |

For 2023½ and 2024 models we do not publish a per-model breakdown here, because Harley's own model-year documentation for that transition is inconsistent. Tell us the exact model and we will confirm it before you buy. Current-model rows are re-checked against Harley's published specifications each model year.
Saddlebag speakers on this generation
Where a factory saddlebag speaker is fitted, as on the CVO Street Glide, the factory driver is 5x7 inch, not 6x9. The redesigned lids are the reason 6x9 comes up at all: Harley's own model-specific Stage III 6x9 accessory fits the original opening on these later lids, which was not true of the 2014 to 2023 generation. So on this platform 6x9 is an upgrade that fits the factory architecture, not the factory driver size. A standard Street Glide has no factory rear speaker at all.
Adding an amplifier
A confirmed direct-fit speaker swap that keeps the factory amplification does not need a digital-audio interface. Adding an external amplifier or DSP normally does. A compatible A2B interface such as the NAV-TV ZEN-H or the Volunteer Audio SeirenHD HD-A2B, with the correct harness, is one option among several. The exact interface and wiring depend on your model and factory audio package, so tell us your build and we will confirm the path.
FAQ
What size are the factory fairing speakers on a 2024 and newer batwing?
It depends on the trim, and this is the single most common mistake on this platform. A standard Street Glide runs two 5.25 inch fairing speakers and no factory rear speakers. Street Glide Limited, CVO Street Glide, CVO Street Glide ST and the 2026 Street Glide 3 Limited trikes run 6.5 inch. See the configuration table above, and tell us your exact model if you want it confirmed.
Do my 2014 to 2023 batwing speakers fit the 2024 and newer bike?
Do not assume so. Two separate things have to line up. First the size: a standard 2024 and newer Street Glide is 5.25 inch, so a 6.5 inch speaker bought for an earlier bike is the wrong size for it in the first place. Second the architecture: even where the nominal size matches, the redesigned fairing enclosures and mounting differ, so an older 6.5 inch speaker is not a guaranteed direct fit into a 6.5 inch Limited or CVO fairing. Use a speaker or kit confirmed for the redesigned fairing.
Where do the rear speakers go on these models?
Only on models that have them. Limited models use 6.5 inch rear speakers in dedicated Tour-Pak pods, not in the Tour-Pak lid. The CVO Street Glide uses 5x7 inch saddlebag lid speakers. The 2026 CVO Street Glide Limited and CVO Street Glide 3 Limited also add 6.5 inch lower fairing speakers. A standard Street Glide has no factory rear speaker position at all.
Can I add an amplifier to a 2024 and newer batwing?
Yes. If you are only replacing speakers and keeping the factory amplification, a confirmed direct-fit speaker needs no interface. Adding an external amplifier or DSP normally needs a compatible A2B interface with the correct harness for your model. The NAV-TV ZEN-H and the Volunteer Audio SeirenHD HD-A2B are two options. The exact interface and wiring depend on your model and factory audio package, so tell us your build and we will confirm.
Do these speakers need an amplifier?
They perform best on a dedicated amplifier, fitted with the correct interface on these models. See the 2024 and newer batwing amplifiers.
