SoundSkins Sound Deadening for Harley-Davidson Touring
SoundSkins Pro is acoustic treatment that damps the plastic fairing panels, speaker pods and saddlebag lids that otherwise colour your Harley audio. Those panels are large, thin and unsupported, so they resonate and flex with the speaker, which smears midbass and adds panel noise at volume. Damping them means more of the speaker's energy goes into moving air rather than vibrating the panel, for cleaner output and tighter, better-defined midbass.
This collection carries SoundSkins Pro motorcycle-specific kits cut and shaped for Harley panels: fairing kits for 1998 to 2013 and 2015 to 2023 Road Glide and Street 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.
Why You'll Love It
- Cleaner, tighter midbass: damping the panel keeps the speaker's output defined rather than smeared.
- Less panel noise: reduces the resonance and rattle that colour audio at volume.
- Motorcycle-specific kits: SoundSkins Pro fairing, pod and saddlebag-lid kits cut for Harley panels.
- Generation coverage: kits for 1998 to 2013 and 2014 to 2023 Street Glide, Road Glide and Electra Glide.
- Foundation for an upgrade: a low-cost step that lifts the result of a speaker and amplifier build.
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.
