TCMT Vivid Black 5 in Stretched Saddlebags 6x9 Speaker Lid - Touring

In this review the TCMT Vivid Black 5 in Stretched Saddlebags are evaluated for riders who want an OEM look without the OEM price. The bottom line: these saddlebags are best for Harley Touring owners from 1994-2013 who want a direct-fit, high gloss replacement or upgrade with included speaker lids and keys. The reviewer found the vivid black and chrome finish looks factory-grade, the ABS construction is sturdy, and the fit aligns with stock mounting points, making them a practical choice for those prioritizing appearance and straightforward installation.

Key Features

• Material: Very high quality ABS provides a lightweight but rigid shell that resists dents and keeps weight low on the rear of the bike.
• Finish: Vivid black and chrome finish arrives ready to ride with no need to paint and delivers a near-OEM glossy appearance.
• Fitment: Designed to fit 1994-2013 Harley Touring models and mounts to stock points for an easy, accurate reinstallation.
• Packaging: Each package includes left and right saddlebags, 3 keys, two speaker lids and two ABS mesh covers so riders get speaker-ready lids out of the box.
• Installation: No adjustments are needed and the parts reinstall to the original position for a straightforward swap on compatible bikes.

Who It's For

This product is ideal for owners of Harley Touring models between 1994 and 2013 who want a cost-effective replacement or visual upgrade that looks like OEM. Riders who value finish quality and a plug-and-play fit will appreciate that the bags arrive painted and include speaker lids and keys.

Those riding non-Touring Harleys such as Softail, Dyna, or Sportster should note conversion brackets are required and are not included, so look elsewhere if you need a full bracket kit. Riders who need a locking mechanism with long-proven pedigree may also want to inspect the latch in person before purchase.
