Queen City Harley-Davidson® - Is the 12.3-Inch TFT Display on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® ideal for riders traveling through Richmond, IN?
The 12.3-Inch TFT Display on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® brings navigation, audio, and key vehicle information into one crisp, color touchscreen designed for clarity at a glance. For riders who split time between city streets and open highways around Richmond, IN, that integration matters—less time searching for data means more attention on the road. Combined with fairing-mounted speakers and a 200-watt, four-channel amplifier rated at 50 watts per channel, the Street Glide® cockpit transforms into an intuitive command center for your ride.
Beyond its visual sharpness, the display is engineered for practical touring. Menus are arranged logically, inputs are responsive, and the layout puts essential information where you can find it quickly. That organization pairs naturally with Ride Modes—Road, Sport, and Rain—so you can set the motorcycle’s character for local weather or surface changes. In a region where a blue-sky morning can lead to wet pavement after lunch, having both adaptable power delivery and clear navigation in one place helps make your day simpler and safer.
The system’s strength also shows up over distance. Route guidance feels genuinely integrated rather than bolted on, and the audio’s balance holds up at speed, delivering deep lows, clean-mids, and crisp highs. The display is readable whether you’re rolling under bright sun or pushing home at dusk. It works seamlessly with the Batwing fairing’s aerodynamics, shaped using computational fluid dynamics to create smoother airflow—less buffeting helps you stay focused on the screen when you need it and the scenery when you don’t.
Riders who value a clean cockpit will appreciate that the Street Glide® reduces distractions while enhancing access to what matters most: navigation, bike status, and entertainment. When paired with the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin’s liquid-cooled heads and a high-performance touring intake, this motorcycle is set up for long, confident days where the technology supports the ride rather than competing with it. That balance is exactly what many touring riders are looking for as they plan routes across county lines and state borders.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I customize what the 12.3-Inch TFT Display shows on the home screen?

Is audio loud enough to hear at highway speeds?
The fairing-mounted speakers paired with a 200-watt, four-channel amplifier rated at 50 watts per channel deliver deep lows, clean mids, and crisp highs, preserving clarity when you’re at speed. The Batwing fairing’s airflow management also helps reduce wind noise around the cockpit.
Does the screen stay visible in bright sunlight?
