It accepts any standard 2\" tall aftermarket head unit with ISO provision and includes a rubber gasket, mounting brackets, hardware, and a pre-wired harness for Metra's AXSWC-WR steering control interface (AXSWC-WR sold separately). Built from durable ASA plastic, the 99-9600 matches factory contours, reduces vibration, and helps keep moisture away from electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this kit make installing a single‑DIN radio easier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Metra 99-9600 consolidates the mounting, sealing, and wiring steps into a single assembly that fits the inner fairing opening. Rather than fabricating trim or cutting the original housing, you use the supplied brackets, gasket, and hardware for a clean install. The included pre-wired harness simplifies connection to Metra's AXSWC-WR, so handlebar audio controls can be retained when that interface is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne-piece faceplate shaped to fit batwing and sharknose inner fairings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRubber gasket for moisture and vibration resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrackets and hardware included—no aftermarket trimming needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-wired harness for AXSWC-WR (interface sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this fit my Harley‑Davidson model and year?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is targeted for FLH‑style batwing fairings and Road Glide sharknose fairings produced between 1998 and 2013. Always verify fitment with the Metra Electronics Vehicle Fit Guide before purchase to confirm compatibility with your model and fairing type. If your fairing matches the listed styles and years, the 99-9600 is designed to drop into the OEM opening without permanent modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with FLH (batwing fairing) 1998–2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Road Glide (sharknose fairing) 1998–2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCheck the Metra Vehicle Fit Guide for exact application details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and protections does the kit provide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetra constructed the 99-9600 from high-quality ASA plastic to match factory finish and endure outdoor use. The included rubber gasket cushions the radio against vibration and creates a seal that helps limit water intrusion around the head unit. Together these features extend component life and preserve the fairing’s appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eASA plastic offers UV resistance and factory-like texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRubber gasket reduces vibration and moisture exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSecure mounting hardware keeps the head unit stable at speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need extra parts to keep handlebar audio controls working?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes—retaining handlebar-mounted audio controls requires Metra’s water-resistant AXSWC-WR steering control interface, which is sold separately. The 99-9600 includes a pre-wired harness specifically for that interface to reduce installation time and wiring complexity. Without the AXSWC-WR, handlebar controls will likely not function with the new aftermarket radio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAXSWC-WR is required to keep handlebar controls functional\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-wired harness for AXSWC-WR included in the kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTech support available for wiring and configuration questions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for? The Metra 99-9600 is ideal for Harley-Davidson owners (1998–2013 FLH and Road Glide) who want the improved features of a modern single‑DIN aftermarket radio while keeping a stock appearance. It suits DIY installers and professional shops that prefer a factory-fit solution, and for riders planning to integrate handlebar controls via Metra’s AXSWC-WR interface. If you need a sturdy, sealed mounting solution that reduces modification of the original fairing, this kit provides an all-in-one option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the 99-9600 keep my handlebar audio controls working?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Only if you also install Metra’s AXSWC-WR interface (sold separately); the kit includes a pre-wired harness for that interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will I need to cut my fairing to install this kit?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No—this one-piece Metra kit is designed to fit the OEM inner fairing openings for compatible models without trimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Metra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67586909208761,"sku":"B00JKXSM7G","price":96.33,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/3765\/3177\/files\/metra-99-9600-front-faceplate.jpg?v=1790496875","url":"https:\/\/redleafauto.ca\/products\/metra-single-din-stereo-installation-kit-for-harley-davidson-1998-2013-one-piece-sealed-fit","provider":"Redleaf Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
