I have a 2006 Electra Glide standard that I have totally chromed out. I have purchased a Harley stereo and hog tunes from eBay. I have three questions:
1. Does the inner fairing have to come out to install stereo?
2. Is the 2006 Electra Glide standard prewired to stereo? It has the radio controls on the hand controls.
3. Is this a task that a normal person could do?
I have a 2006 Electra Glide standard that I have totally chromed out. I have purchased a Harley stereo and hog tunes from eBay. I have three questions:
1. Does the inner fairing have to come out to install stereo? No; just remove the outer fairing.
2. Is the 2006 Electra Glide standard prewired to stereo? Yes. It has the radio controls on the hand controls.
3. Is this a task that a normal person could do? Yes. The typical FLHT owner may be excessively thrifty; i.e., reluctant to purchase an HD Service Manual. Buy one.
If you own the HD Service Manual for your model year, installing the radio and hooking up some speakers and the HT amp is a piece of cake.
Harleypingman provided accurate info on the radio install. You will have to loosen the inner fairing mounting brackets to allow a little wiggle room for the radio to slide into place.
