Harley Davidson After Market Radio

When you buy an after market radio for a Harley Davidson motorcycle, there are a few things to keep in mind. You will need to know how many ohms your speaker outputs are, which adapter you will need, and how to open your fairing. Read on my good man, for the knowledge you seek lies herein.

Harley Davidson radios usually utilize 2 or 8 ohm speaker outputs. The speakers themselves are usually 5.25”. This is true for the 1998-2008 Harley Davidson motorcycles. Now, as for an adapter. Most after market radios for your Harley Davidson motorcycle have the appropriate adapter available with the radio. Sony has its own. So does Sirius. Actually, so does every other after market out there. They are different from each other, but will fit your Harley. Opening the fairing is wicked easy. There are seven Torx head screws. Three on the windshield and two behind the hand grips. I almost forgot to mention the two in the middle of the forks. You will need a T27 Torx head for the job. Be careful with the headlight. It would probably work best if you unplugged it before you pulled the fairing too hard and ripped the wires out. You can find everything you need on the Internet or at your local Harley shop.

Replacing your radio with an after market radio for Harley Davidson motorcycle is very simple. All you need is some information and the right tools. Both are available from Harley Davidson. Grab a manual and the driver set that came with your bike and you will be in business.
