The 2012 regular street glide didn't come with an amp. Your bike didn't come with a CB unit, so it must be the ipod or XM radio module.

Does it look something like one of these?

OK. Your bike didn't come from the factory like that. When you said "factory head unit and amp", it threw me for a loop.

Somebody added that at some point. If you are sticking with just fairing speakers, yes, you would have to remove it for the pbr300x2. If you are adding lowers or saddlebag speakers, you could leave the HK amp and install the pbr with the Hogtunes 2nd amp bracket.

Yes. Unless you're going to install a second pair of speakers in lowers or rear bags.

I would remove the Harley amp and put the pbr300x2 in. At best, the HD amp is only pushing about 40 watts a channel.
