Eisenhauer's Chesapeake Harley-Davidson® - Can the 12.3-Inch TFT Display on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Simplify Touring for New London, PA, Riders?
Modern touring is about more than just highway miles—it is about staying oriented, informed, and comfortable while the scenery rolls past your visor. The 12.3-Inch TFT Display on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® was built precisely for this purpose, placing navigation and infotainment where you need them and minimizing distraction with crisp, easy-to-read visuals. For riders planning coastal loops, bridge runs, or weekend escapes around New London, PA, this screen becomes a quiet co-pilot that helps you focus on the ride.
What sets the TFT apart is how naturally it fits the Street Glide® cockpit. Its clear color display presents maps, trip data, and media with excellent contrast, so you can glance, process, and get back to scanning the road. The interface is designed to be straightforward, with familiar logic and streamlined menus that reduce the need to dig for settings. Pair that with the bike’s fairing-mounted, amplifier-driven audio and you have a setup that feels purpose-built for riders who want smarter miles, not more complexity.
Beyond the basics, the TFT’s placement and integration matter just as much as the hardware. With the display centered and framed by the iconic Batwing fairing, your eyes stay closer to the horizon line while checking route guidance or audio cues. That relationship between the screen, the fairing’s airflow, and overall cockpit ergonomics can reduce fatigue on longer days, which is especially helpful when winds pick up on open stretches or over the Bay Bridge. It is tech that respects rider attention rather than competing with it.
For those planning frequent weekenders, consider how the 12.3-inch screen complements the rest of the 2025 platform. Ride Modes let you tailor the Street Glide® to the day’s forecast and route, while quickly adjustable rear suspension helps keep the bike settled whether you are riding solo or two-up with packed saddlebags. The TFT then becomes your information anchor—one place to check maps, trip time, and audio without breaking your rhythm.
- Plan your route before departure to minimize on-the-fly adjustments
- Organize playlists and navigation points into quick-access categories
- Align screen brightness with ambient light for consistent visibility
- Review your Ride Mode and suspension setup with your route in mind
Small habits like these make the system feel even more natural, turning the TFT into a seamless part of your ride rather than another gadget to manage. It is also a strong complement to the Street Glide® design language—tech-forward yet authentically Harley-Davidson®, anchored by the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin Engine’s confident response and the Batwing fairing’s refined airflow.
