Saddlebag speakers,
sound behind you.

Speaker lids and rear audio for Harley baggers, wired into a Cicada amplifier and tuned with the fairing so the whole bike plays as one system.

Why add them

The fairing is only half.

Fairing speakers fire at your chest. At speed, the wind takes its share before the sound gets to you. A second pair in the saddlebag lids fills in from behind, so the music sits around the rider and the passenger instead of coming from one spot.

It also lets the whole system play at the same volume with less strain on every speaker. Less strain is where clean comes from.

What the job involves

Four parts to a rear stage.

The lids

The speakers mount in the saddlebag lids, so the bags still open, still close, and still carry your gear.

The power

Rear speakers need their own amplifier channels. On most builds that means one four-channel Cicada amp running the fairing and the bags together.

The wiring

Power and signal run from the amplifier back to each bag, routed out of sight.

The tune

Front and rear are level matched and tuned together, so the bags support the fairing instead of fighting it.

By bike

Which bikes take them.

Street Glide and Road Glide
The classic setup. Cicada builds fairing and saddlebag systems for 2014 to 2023 bikes and for the 2024 and newer fairings. See Street Glide and Road Glide.
Road King
No fairing, so the bags often carry the whole system. See Road King.
Ultra Limited and Limited models
Already has speakers in the fairing and the Tour-Pak. Bag lids add a third pair. See Ultra Limited.
Trikes
The trunk and body change what is possible out back. Send us the model and we will lay out the options. See trikes.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Some. The speaker sits in the lid, so the bag still closes and still carries gear, with a little less room at the top.

Often, yes, if your amplifier has channels to spare. Cicada also sells rear speaker add-on systems for exactly that. Tell us what is on the bike now and we will tell you what it needs.

That is one of the main reasons riders add them. Rear speakers put sound where the passenger sits.

Usually you need four channels instead of two. On most builds one four-channel amplifier runs both the fairing and the bags.
