6×9" saddlebag lid cut-in kit for 1998–2013 Harley Touring — precision template, gloss black metal grilles, and waterproof wiring. Speakers sold separately.
The HD13.SBS is Precision Power's saddlebag lid cut-in kit for 1998–2013 Harley-Davidson® Touring hard-shell saddlebags. A precision moulded cutting template, gloss black metal grilles, and a waterproof quick-disconnect wiring harness are in the box — everything needed to install 6×9" speakers in the OEM saddlebag lids without replacing them. Speakers sold separately. No repainting, no new lids, no permanent structural modification to the bags.
The factory saddlebag lids on 1998–2013 Harley Touring models are not pre-cut for speakers. Adding a rear stage means cutting into the existing lids — or buying pre-cut replacements. The HD13.SBS is the third option: a complete cut-in kit that turns the factory lid into a proper speaker mounting location using a precision template, and finishes the install with gloss black metal grilles and waterproof wiring. The result looks like it was always meant to be there. Fit, connect, close the bag.
Who This Is For
Riders who want a rear saddlebag speaker stage in a 1998–2013 Harley Touring build while keeping the OEM lids. The HD13.SBS pairs with the MAS.692 (2Ω, for factory radio or lower-power amp builds) or MAS.694 (4Ω, for amplified builds) for a complete matched rear-stage system. For a horn-loaded rear stage, pair with the MAS.692HT. Contact Motorcycle Audio Australia to confirm speaker pairing before ordering.
What This Is Best For
- Factory lid retention — no replacement, no repainting: The HD13.SBS cuts into the existing lid using a precision moulded template that aligns to the 1998–2013 saddlebag lid contours. The opening is correctly positioned and sized for a clean result — the kind of install that looks like a factory fitment rather than a field modification.
- Matched rear stage with MAS saddlebag speakers: Designed around Precision Power MAS.692 (2Ω) and MAS.694 (4Ω) saddlebag speakers. The MAS.692HT (2Ω horn-loaded) is also compatible for a high-efficiency rear stage. Select the speaker that matches your amplifier configuration.
- Waterproof quick-disconnect wiring: The included harness uses waterproof quick-disconnect plugs at the speaker connection point. The saddlebag can be removed and reinstalled without disconnecting speaker terminals by hand — an important practical feature on bags that come off regularly for storage or service.
- Metal grille-finished result: Gloss black metal speaker grilles are included. The cut-in looks finished, not open — a clean appearance in the lid that complements the Harley Touring aesthetic. Metal construction handles road vibration and weather without distorting or cracking over time.
Before You Order — Compatibility Notes
Speakers sold separately: The HD13.SBS is a lid cut-in kit only — it does not include speakers. Compatible options include the MAS.692 (2Ω), MAS.694 (4Ω), and MAS.692HT (2Ω horn-loaded). Contact Motorcycle Audio Australia to confirm the correct speaker for your amplifier configuration.
Not compatible with electric-lock saddlebags: The HD13.SBS is designed for standard 1998–2013 hard-shell saddlebag lids. Models equipped with electric-lock saddlebags are not compatible — the lock mechanism occupies the space required for the speaker installation. Confirm your bag type before ordering.
Cutting is not reversible: Professional installation is recommended for the cutting process. The template produces a clean, repeatable result — but a cut saddlebag lid cannot be uncut. Contact Motorcycle Audio Australia to discuss installation before ordering if you have any questions about the process.
The Bottom Line
The HD13.SBS is the complete solution for adding a 6×9" rear stage to a 1998–2013 Harley Touring build using the original saddlebag lids — precision template, gloss black metal grilles, and waterproof quick-disconnect wiring all in the box. Choose your speakers separately to match your amplifier configuration. For matched saddlebag speakers, see the MAS.692 (2Ω), MAS.694 (4Ω), or MAS.692HT (horn-loaded).
What's In The Kit
The precision cut-in template is a moulded cutting guide that aligns to the 1998–2013 Harley Touring saddlebag lid contours. It positions the 6×9" speaker opening correctly on the lid surface — accounting for lid curvature, internal clearance, and the mounting depth required by standard 6×9" saddlebag drivers. On the road: the cut looks factory — a clean, correctly-positioned opening with no evidence of guesswork or hand-measurement. The template isn't a reference; it is the cut.
The gloss black metal speaker grilles cover the speaker opening with a finished, purpose-built appearance. Metal construction is specified for the outdoor motorcycle environment — road vibration, UV, and rain cycling do not distort or crack metal grilles over time the way plastic alternatives can. The grille pattern is acoustically transparent and does not restrict the driver's output. On the road: three summers of saddlebag vibration and weather, and the metal grilles still hold their finish and shape. The lid looks the same as install day.
The waterproof quick-disconnect wiring harness connects the speaker terminals to the saddlebag wiring using waterproof quick-disconnect plugs. The design allows the saddlebag to be removed and reinstalled without reaching into the bag or disconnecting terminals by hand. Connections are weatherproof — rain and washdowns do not affect the electrical interface at the speaker. On the road: bag off — single quick-disconnect. Bag back on — single connect. No tools, no loose wires, no risk of pulling a terminal loose.
