Jealous? Where'd that come from. No one was discouraging him from posting a pic, simply stating a fact.

Here's the USB Port. It came with the bike as some kind of "Willie G." edition. Maybe a dealer set-up. It has a million Willie G. Add-ons all over the place.



I love this thing.



How many Willie G. add-ons can you find in this photo?
Is that a 3.5mm audio jack below the USB port? Maybe the previous owner had an aftermarket radio in it? Maybe the 3.5mm jack plugged into a rear aux input and the port connected to the rear USB port on the aftermarket radio. Until you pull the fairing off, we may never know...

Beautiful bike.

ETA: I just looked at the photos again, yes you have an aftermarket radio. Try putting a thumb drive with some mp3s on it into the USB port and see if it'll play. Might not have enough power to charge an iPhone, but it might read the songs and utilize Pandora through that port. Look up your radio and download the manual from the manufacturer website. You might be pleasantly surprised.

2013 RGU did not have a USB port anywhere factory. It has a cigarette lighter type power port on the lower left side of faring.
You will need to track down his work. Good luck and pray he did at least a good job.
That looks like a factory radio in the picture I saw. Some sent those radios into Iron cross and had upgrades added to them.
Strong possibility.

Look again. It looks like a Jensen. I think it came with a USB aux input that could be mounted remotely or they sold one as an accessory.

Unless Harmon Kardon made different radios for a Road Glide, that is not a factory radio.

I have a '13 Road Glide Ultra and the installed stereo unit is not stock. I'd check the fuse panel and see if there are any extra accy. fuses installed. Maybe there should be to help carry the electrical load.

Could be a data only port, not charging.

Does the stereo have an "aux" setting? If so, try playing something and see if it works.

This and some charges do not produce enough amperage for charging. Here is what you need.


2.1A (10W) for larger iPhones (6 and above) or 1A to smaller iPhones (SE and lower).
