Harley-Davidson FL handlebar control interface

The Metra BC-HDSWC-WR wire harness lets you install an aftermarket radio on 1998-2013 Harley-Davidson FLH and FLT models while keeping the original handlebar audio buttons working. Patented Auto-Detect technology identifies the specific motorcycle and radio combination automatically, removing the need for manual programming during installation.

Plug-n-play harness with water-resistant case

The kit supplies a ready-to-connect harness inside a water-resistant enclosure that provides front speaker outputs, constant power, switched power and ground leads. It fits directly into the factory wiring without cutting, and the sealed case protects the electronics from road spray and vibration on touring bikes.

Replaces HD-ASWC-1 with expanded compatibility

This part number supersedes the earlier HD-ASWC-1 interface and works with the 95-HDIF2 fairing kit; pairing it with the BC-9725 amp bypass harness extends coverage to additional models. The BC-9711 accessory is required if rear speaker retention is needed. Riders who must keep factory handlebar controls on a radio swap are the target; builders replacing the entire handlebar assembly or adding a second audio zone will need different hardware.

Questions about this item

What is the first limit reached during sustained use of the BC-HDSWC-WR harness?

The water-resistant enclosure protects the Auto-Detect circuitry and wiring from moisture, so environmental exposure is the primary sustained-use limit rather than thermal or electrical overload.

How much noise, heat or power does the interface generate when running all day?

The passive harness has no active electronics that produce heat or audible noise; it simply routes speaker, constant power, switched power and ground signals through the water-resistant case.

Which additional Metra part must the buyer already own to retain rear speakers on a Harley-Davidson FL?

The BC-9711 harness is required to keep the rear speakers functioning after the radio replacement.
