The plug-and-play rear speaker backbone harness for adding Tour-Pak or saddlebag speakers to 2014+ Harley Touring
The Deluxe Rear Speaker Split Backbone Harness routes rear audio through the frame backbone of a 2014 and newer Harley-Davidson Touring bike and cleanly splits it left and right for Tour-Pak speakers, saddlebag lid speakers or rear pods. Engineered by American Hard Bag, it installs fully plug-and-play with OEM-grade connectors, no cutting or tapping, and is completely reversible.
This is the rear speaker signal path for a factory-clean rear-stage addition. It handles the long, protected run from the front of the bike to the rear speaker locations that a Touring frame demands.
Who This Is For
You are adding rear speakers to a 2014+ Touring bike: a Tour-Pak pair, saddlebag lid speakers, or rear pods, and you want the wiring routed and split correctly without cutting into the loom. It suits CVO conversions, Tour-Pak add-ons and Stage 2 or Stage 3 rear builds. To feed those rear speakers from an amplifier in the bags, pair it with the saddlebag amplifier harness.
What This Is Best For
- Splitting rear audio cleanly left and right. The split-backbone design routes a proper feed to both rear speaker locations, which is what a real rear stage needs rather than a single tapped wire.
- A no-cut, reversible install. OEM-grade connectors mean nothing is spliced, so the bike returns to stock and there is no CANBUS or wiring damage risk.
- Tour-Pak and saddlebag lid speakers. Built for the rear locations riders actually add, including 6x9 and 5x7 lid kits and pro-audio sets.
- A protected long run. Designed for the vibration, heat and exposure of routing the length of a Touring frame.
The Bottom Line
The Deluxe Rear Speaker Split Backbone Harness is the clean, reversible way to run and split rear audio for a Tour-Pak or saddlebag speaker addition on a 2014+ Harley Touring bike. Add it to cart above, and pair it with the saddlebag amplifier harness and a set of 6x9 lid speakers to complete the rear stage.

How the backbone split works
The harness carries rear audio along the frame backbone and splits it into dedicated left and right feeds at the rear. Running a proper split rather than tapping a single wire is what gives a balanced rear stage with both speakers driven correctly. In practice: the rear speakers play as a proper pair, wired the way the factory would route them.
