Lets play Nice fellas, just trying to find out a little information as early as possible
I hope they have some different colors than they had in 24 and they improve the stereo,but I doubt it.Mrbirdog

Doubt it's going to stick. It might.
But like all of us, we're going to just have to wait till a tech or delivery leaks what's up.
As for Stereos, honestly i doubt HD is going to do anything since they're partnered with Rockford Fosgate. That's gotta be a sweet deal for both of them, and I doubt HD is going to soil that relationship.
That LRST combo is popular.
Just keep a watch on youtube and the forums, someone always leaks stuff there or here.

I think the one thing HD may walk back is using Billard Grey as their default color. They did it, AFAIK because the LRS sold so damn well in Grey that they tried it with more models.

I like being able to listen to the stereo when Im cruising down the highway, but if I roll up to an intersection, Id like to be able to either mute or turn down the volume control on the handlebars I have a 23 Fatboy and I test drove a 24 road glide and its so much easier to maneuver because I think the tires are thinner.just my two cents

thanks for that, using the Rockford Fosgate stage one is just the front fearing speakers? If youre just riding alone most of the time which I am, thats enough that you can hear it going down the highway wouldnt you think?I think you need an amp and the two speakers which is about 1K? And then youd have to pay for installation.

I did really like that Street Glide though.
When it comes to audio, nothing's really ever going to match a good set of earbuds, or a Cardo Packtalk Edge installed in your helmet. Even the best of bagger audio is never going to sound great when moving.
In Helmet audio is king of quality on the road.
Personally I ride with Plugfones with SpinFit double flange tips and they sound great and they damper wind and road noise excellently.
I know it's not what you'd like to hear, in both respects haha, but it may be a good idea to look into.
I will admit that having Radio, and CB coms on a bagger on your speakers would be pretty nice to be able to tune into things while traveling.
I'd rather see if it's possible to ditch the onbike audio to save some weight. Lower weight=more nimble bike.
But that's my bike not yours haha.
I definitely recommend trying a helmet coms set first before dumping a bunch of money into bagger audio. Cardo Makes some great headset options.

Will it be January again to find out color options and upgrades? I have heard they are going to beef up the stereo so you can hear it at speeds above 55 ....I ilke the 24 but can't see spending 1-3 k on an upgrade so you can hear the stereo while crusin. I don't often where a helmut.
thanks in advance

I wouldnt look for any big changes other than the RGL and UL being discontinued. Possibly the return of the SGS and RGS, with painted inner fairing and a few add-ons. I think youll see a touring package available through the dealer that will include lower fairings and tour pack.

Once there's been a big design change for a particular model, everything usually remains the same for at least a few years after.
I'm pretty sure that all we're going to see in 2025 are new colors. And I doubt they'll improve the stereo. Harley still has to maintain a market for the $600 Rockford Fosgate 500W amp and RF Stage1 or Stage 2 speakers that they sell.
I'd hate to see the Ultra and RG Limited go.. I'm hoping that they continue in the same form, but with the new 117 engine in place of the 114.

Ive been at my dealership a week ago and he already has the new colors. Its only a single page though with the name of the colors and for which models they are available. No details on new models or so.
