Where does SoundSkins sound deadening make the biggest difference?
This collection carries SoundSkins Pro motorcycle-specific kits cut and shaped for Harley panels: fairing kits for 1998 to 2013 Road Glide and Street Glide, 2014 to 2023 Street Glide and 2015 to 2023 Road Glide, speaker pod kits, and saddlebag and saddlebag lid kits for 1998 to 2013 and 2014 to 2023 bikes. Fit the treatment behind the speaker and across the large flat panels for the biggest gain, and pair it with a speaker and amplifier upgrade to hear the full benefit.
FAQ
What does SoundSkins do?
It damps the thin, unsupported fairing and lid panels so they resonate and flex less with the speaker. That reduces panel noise and smearing, so the speaker's midbass stays cleaner and better defined.
Will it make my system louder?
It is not a volume boost, but by reducing panel losses and resonance it lets more of the speaker's output come through cleanly, which is often heard as tighter, more present midbass.
Where should I apply it?
Behind the speaker and across the large flat fairing and lid panels, which is where the resonance is worst. The kits are cut for these areas.
Do I need it if I am upgrading speakers?
It is not required, but it is a low-cost step that lifts the result of a speaker and amplifier upgrade, so it is worth doing at the same time. See the sound deadening.
