TCMT 6.5in Speaker Pods Boxes Lower Vented Fairing - Vivid Black fit

In this review the TCMT 6.5in Speaker Pods are examined for riders who want to add or replace fairing-lower speakers on compatible Harley Touring models. The bottom line: these are an affordable, painted vivid black set of injection-molded ABS pods that accept common 6.5in round speakers and provide a clean, factory-like look for bikes with vented fairing lowers. They are best for riders prioritizing appearance and value, though fit and screw quality have produced mixed results among owners.

Key Features

• Material: High quality injection molded ABS provides a rigid, paintable surface that resists road vibration and holds finish well.
• Speaker compatibility: Designed to accept most 6.5in diameter round speakers on the market, which makes upgrading audio components straightforward.
• Finish: Painted vivid black finish matches many factory black fairings and offers a near-factory visual when installed.
• Fitment: Fits '14-later Touring models equipped with vented fairing lowers, allowing owners of those specific models to add lower fairing speakers without cutting or major modification.
• Quantity: Package includes two speaker pods, so both left and right lower fairing positions are covered for a complete installation.

Who It's For

These speaker pods are aimed at Harley Touring owners from 2014 onward who have vented fairing lowers and want a tidy, painted black way to mount 6.5in speakers. They are particularly useful for riders who want to maintain the look of the fairing rather than fit exposed aftermarket mounts.

Riders with Road King, CVO, Twin-Cooled engine models, or the excluded 2023-2025 CVO and certain later Street Glide/Road Glide variants should not buy these, because the product does not fit those applications. Also, buyers who need a kit with installation hardware or instructions should look elsewhere, since no instructions are included and some customers reported inconsistent screw quality.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Painted vivid black finish yields a near-factory appearance when matched to black fairings.
• Accepts standard 6.5in speakers, simplifying speaker upgrades for many riders.
• Made from injection molded ABS, which is durable and holds paint well for long-term appearance.
• Sold as a pair so both sides of the lower fairing are addressed in one purchase.

Cons

• Fit is mixed in customer reports, so some trimming or adjustment may be required on certain bikes.
• No installation instructions or consistent hardware provided; customers noted variable screw quality.

Specifications

Our Verdict
