Ultra / Electra Glide (1998-2013)
Ultra and Electra Glide Audio, 1998 to 2013
This collection covers 1998 to 2013 Ultra Classic and other Tour-Pak-equipped Electra Glide models, plus the Electra Glide Ultra Limited from its introduction in 2010. These bikes use a conventional analogue audio system with a nominal 5.25 inch front fairing speaker, and models fitted with a factory Tour-Pak add rear speakers for a factory four-speaker layout. Confirm your model and whether it has the rear speaker positions.
Start with the 5.25 inch fairing speakers, upgrade the rear speakers where fitted, and add an amplifier to drive the full system. A direct-fit CarPlay head unit is a popular upgrade to replace the dated factory radio.

FAQ
What size speakers does a 1998 to 2013 Ultra use?
A nominal 5.25 inch front fairing speaker, with rear speakers on Tour-Pak equipped models, and 6.5 inch front possible via an adapter where the fairing allows. Confirm the fitment for your exact bike.
Can I run a full four-speaker system?
On models with the factory rear speaker positions, yes: front and rear speakers with an amplifier is a natural upgrade. Confirm your model has the rear positions.
Is upgrading these bikes easy?
Yes. The analogue, speaker-level system means new speakers, an amplifier or a head unit integrate cleanly.
Should I replace the radio?
A direct-fit CarPlay head unit is a popular upgrade because the factory radio is dated. It is optional if you only want better speakers.
