6×9-inch saddlebag lid cut-in mounting kit for 2014–2023 H-D® Touring – ABS mounting frames, dual-layer grilles, one-time-use alignment jigs. Not for electric lock bags or 2024+ lids.
The Cicada Audio CHDLID is a 6×9-inch saddlebag lid cut-in mounting kit for 2014–2023 Harley-Davidson Touring models – precision ABS moulded mounting frames sized for all Cicada Audio® 6×9-inch speakers, dual-layer grilles (ABS outer frame with powder-coated stamped steel insert), and one-time-use ABS alignment jigs for accurate cut-in placement. Speakers sold separately. Not compatible with saddlebags equipped with electric locks. Not designed for 2024+ H-D saddlebag lids.
Adding 6×9-inch speakers to factory 2014–2023 H-D Touring saddlebag lids requires cutting the lid – and cutting without a precise template means misaligned openings, poor grille fit, and a finish that doesn't look intentional. The CHDLID provides a complete cut-in solution: alignment jigs that accurately mark the lid for cutting, mounting frames that sit cleanly in the cut opening, and purpose-built dual-layer grilles that protect the speakers and finish the install. For riders who want full replacement lids with the speaker opening already done, see the 14HDLID69 (Vivid Black, 6×9) or 14CHDLID8R (RAW, 8-inch).
Who This Is For
Riders on 2014–2023 H-D Touring models who want to cut 6×9-inch speaker openings into their existing factory saddlebag lids rather than replacing them entirely. For complete replacement 6×9 lids in Vivid Black, see the 14HDLID69. For a tweeter mounting bridge to use with this kit, see the CHD69TB. For 6×9 CH/CHX coax saddlebag dividers for use with this kit, see the CHD69HD.
What This Is Best For
- 6×9-inch cut-in for existing factory lids – the correct solution for riders who want to retain their factory painted lids and cut speaker openings rather than replace the lids entirely.
- One-time-use alignment jigs for accurate cut-in – ABS jigs mark the lid correctly for cutting; designed for single use to ensure factory-level accuracy in the cut-in position and alignment.
- Dual-layer grilles – ABS frame with stamped steel insert – outer ABS moulded frame provides structural fitment; powder-coated stamped steel insert provides the acoustic mesh and visual finish.
What's Inside the CHDLID
The kit is three moulded parts doing three jobs. The ABS alignment jigs mark the lid so the opening is cut in the right place, the precision ABS moulded frames sit in that opening and take the 6×9-inch speaker, and the dual-layer grilles finish it, with an ABS outer frame for structural fitment and a powder-coated stamped steel insert for the mesh. On the road: the lid on the bike is still your own factory painted lid, cut once and cut in the right spot.
The jigs are single-use by design, which is how the kit holds factory-level accuracy in the cut position and alignment. On the road: the grille sits cleanly in the lid instead of proud of a cut that wandered.
