(There were a few sizing exceptions seen during this era in the automotive industry, such as the larger double DIN displays found in older Chevrolets, but this sizing convention was uncommon and sales of double DIN stereos were lackluster.) What are some of the signs that you need to replace the radio on your Harley-Davidson?

Thankfully, Harley-Davidson designed the radios on their touring bikes to be single DIN, which meant finding a replacement became remarkably easy – most aftermarket vehicle and marine radios are a standard, single DIN size, and this was done to fit the construction of both cars and boats. Both of these issues necessitated the replacement of the head unit, and finding a replacement that was both versatile and durable was a challenge at first. It wasn’t just about getting the loudest and most modern system, though – the radios on pre-2014 touring bikes didn’t have the best audio quality and were also known to fail. They also had built-in equalizers, expanded their compatibility with modern music streaming services, and typically had higher available watts to boost the audio levels and output to the speakers.

In addition to Bluetooth and satellite radio, popular replacement radios for Harley-Davidson motorcycles featured multiple audio input options such as auxiliary and USB. This shift resulted in a sales boom of aftermarket radio options which included modern features, such as Bluetooth and satellite radio capability, in order to meet the needs of riders. While Harley-Davidson was able to modernize their offerings and begin featuring radios with Infotainment packages starting in 2014, this modernization left a gap with their touring motorcycles manufactured before 2014, with the previous generation of motorcycles having an inferior stock radio by comparison. It’s hard to find someone that doesn’t enjoy music, and for those music enthusiasts that also enjoy riding Harley-Davidsons, upgrading the stereo system on their motorcycle is an incredibly popular customization – if not a complete no-brainer.
