When the factory radio is the weak link, we replace it. Touchscreen head units with Apple CarPlay, fitted into your fairing and wired into the rest of the system.
Plenty of our builds keep the factory radio. It runs the hand controls, it fits the fairing, and with a real amplifier and a DSP behind it, it can sound very good.
A new head unit makes sense when you want Apple CarPlay on a bike that never had it, when you want a cleaner signal feeding a big system, or when the old radio has simply had enough.
Either way the radio is only the source. The speakers, the amplifier, and the tune are what you actually hear.
A blacked-out dash on our 2020 Ultra Limited buildThe unit goes into the factory opening, so the dash still looks like it belongs on the bike.
We set it up so you can still run the basics from the bars, wherever the head unit supports it.
A clean signal into the amplifier and DSP is what the rest of the system is built on.
CarPlay puts maps, music, and calls on the screen in front of you.
Not sure which radio you have? Put the year and model in the form and we will sort it out.
It depends on the head unit. We pick and set up units so the basics still work from the bars wherever the unit supports it, and we tell you up front what will and will not carry over.
On most 2014 and newer baggers, yes, with a replacement head unit. Some newer bikes already have it from the factory.
No. Speakers, amplifier, and tuning make the biggest difference. Start with the audio system and replace the radio only if it is holding the rest back.
Yes, and it is the smart way to do it. The fairing is already open, so it only comes apart once.
