Thanks for the video and info Steve. Been looking to get some covers for my lid speakers and now I found em!
Appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. Keep up the good work and ride safe!
Hey man thank you!! Much appreciated ...they are great cheap insurance.
I ordered these a couple times now and I’ve been very satisfied with the overall quality. Ease of install they are soft zero damage to your finish even at highway speeds over long distances . I used them for several months I ride quite a bit and if you ride 600+ miles a day you’ll always get weather and I’ve got more invested in my speakers than my lids are worth. So i wasn’t looking for cheap I wanted quality. I noticed over time they did become less effective at repelling water . But for $40 bucks just buy another set . I always turn off the rear speakers when I used them. Note to self always tuck the front and back even part of the sides inside the lids an close the latch . Made that mistake on a 15 hour ride of hard rain on the interstate at hwy speeds these move a lot they will come off . Lost a set . I’ve tried the Genuine HD leather covers they hook n latch using Velcro an the Velcro attaches to areas that the speaker is mounted to . So they fit like sht awkward take up more room in the bags when not in use and allow water to get inside the speaker . Tried the cheaper ones and some that cover the entire bag (damage to paint) and I agree with this content 100% it’s the best option I’ve found for slipping on an off and protection .
I bought some Hogworks covers from J&P cycles. Very nice. You can pour a bottle of water on them and it repels every drop. $40 bucks. Saves my Hertz 6x9 bag speakers. Good investment, a must have
This is awesome. Sort of obsessed with SKN IT business structure, clean and simple website, very easy product to ship and to store. Smart company, good product, good review man.
Thank you Danny! Much appreciated brother!
Never cared how much I ride in the rain until I got my speaker lids! Tunes get expensive(but what doesn't!?)!! 👊🏼🍻
Thanks for sharing the info! All baggers with hard shells need these!
Agreed! Cheap insurance if nothing else!
Very nice!! Love that material!
Great video Steve you the man!!
Thank you for all the videos you do. I know it’s a lot of extra work in your day!
I appreciate it
Hey Ricky...thank you brother..much appreciated. Yeah these covers are nice man.,.Im thinking of getting one of the full bike wraps they have too.
Thank you for the reply Steve!
Much appreciated
I didn’t know they made them for the bike. That’s definitely worth it!
I use old bed sheets & put the waterproof plastic cover over top. I have the same bike as you but black. 8” speakers & all.
If you ever come up to Michigan give me a shout!!! Beer is on me for all the time you put into these videos!!
Thank you Steve you the man
just picked up a set of covers after watching your video. I am in the midst of upgrading my street glide speakers, trying to figure out what speakers to go with. I've seen big debates on marine vs new speakers with plastic cones. Am going to do 4 speaker set up, fairing and speaker lids, I just picked up CVO bags and 6x9 lids for my 2018. Audio guy quoted me for Rockford Fosgate harley kit set up, the speakers just seem that they have really small magnets to me (like i know anything about speakers, lol).
yeah the fosgates are usually pretty small watt speakers and these audio guys throw them out there like hot cakes because we all know the name and they are easy to profit from. Check out the Ground zero 6x9s and use the covers. I stay away from anything marine grade...you can cover them and that opens up a whole new market of speakers for you.
@@sikbaggers I've been pulling my hair out over speakers but seeing your comment just now made my mind up. Not going marine grade for my bags! Thanks
Thanks for that informative review. My lid covers came with the cheap plastic covers.
Thank for taking the time to reply. I really enjoy your channel.
If you come across something nice let me know.
sweet thank you for the new product as soon I seen this I ordered some covers thank you
Youre very welcome sir
Just ordered my covers! Appreciate the review
awesome Don i love these things..still using on both bikes!
that looks really good i'll be ordering a set for mine
Yeah man...they are nice to have...cheap insurance!
That is just SIK!!
Hey what’s up Steve!! is there a discount code you have for advertising there speaker lid covers?
Been missing you updating new videos...
Hope you are still doing this! I know it’s a shit ton of extra time.
Hope all is well with you and your family..
Thank you!!!
Ride safe!
Thank you for the info. Going to order a set of these for my bike.
Hey Ricky....Thanks for checking it out...good insurance for 40 bucks.
Just found this video, ordering a set for my Vic, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
@@sikbaggers Got them in, fit my lids like a glove.
Top shelf video, like usual.
Hey bud thank you sir...much appreciated!
Hey Steve,
Love my advan extended bags and fender extension i am so very interested in the new Rockford fosgate sub 14 kit for my 14 sgs in mysterious red sunglo
Question is are the interior of your bags same as harley stock bags ??? Hate to spend $2200. On subs that dont fit
Thanks for all your videos
Great info Thanks for your time.
Thank you John!
Tkhs for Sharing I would like to buy the pairs of that please tell me how I can order ?Tkhs
Thats a nice bike brother
Thank you sir...much appreciated.
Maybe this has already been answered, but since you use these while you’re riding, does this affect the sound of your speakers while they’re covered?
absolutely not...sound goes right through them..this is a pretty old video and we are still using these covers on both baggers. Love them!
👍
Thanks for checking it out tom!
cool
sweet ride man...
Thank you! Much appreciated.
Bad ass
Thanks👍
Youre very welcome!
Are the speakers not waterproof?
not all speakers are waterproof. I run Pro audio so they are not water proof at all. Very few speakers on the market are waterproof. Some are water resistant. that doesnt mean a huge down pour over night on your speakers is going to be ok...better to protect them.
Steve awesome as always. Can you suggest a good pair of motorcycle boots? I am looking for something not like the traditional square toe Harley. they need to be slip resistant, light weight, water proof. better yet what do you wear?
Thanks again.
Hey man...im actually in the same boat you are. I have been checking some out on Get Lowereds website they have a lot of shoes and boots. I was wearing my Harley boots but man they are heavy by the end of the day...had them for 8 years now...This last year I ordered black Leather Converse high tops. The old "chucks" Loved them but they sure dont last long. Not waterproof either. Im still shopping though.
i see you have lower fairing speakers ,who makes them and can you send me the link to get them ,i have 2020 ultra limited cvo i need to add lower fairiing speakers ,many thanks.
Hey Steve I was just wondering what speakers do you have in your lower, they look pretty cool
Im running all SP Audio in the bike...the ones in the lowers are the 6.5 Products MIDRANGE NEO MAGNET EXTREME
SP6HM-NEO ..there is a dude in Hawaii that can get these , hes about the only dealer I know for SP as they are out of Italy. If you want the contact info send me an email and ill shoot you the info..its about a 30 day wait on anything ive ordered but worth it. slhousden@gmail.com
I need those rims!! Which ones are they? That bike is gorgeous
SMT Machining Twisted Steel 21" www.smtmachining.com/shop/twisted-steel-front-wheel/
Would this help from getting scuff marks on top of lids when all the drunk chicks getting on bike🤣
Get 3m clear cover
Just catching up on some of your videos. I have a question, did you put the Arlen Ness air cleaner on for looks, or does it help performance at all?
Hey Bob the AN air cleaner is an open air cleaner...you will have to have an open air cleaner for a full stage one...open air cleaner, aftermarket non restricted headers and slip ons and a tune. So in combo with the other 3 things yes it is a performance upgrade.
@@sikbaggers Thanks, I was looking at the AN. I have all but I just have a K&N air filter in.
😊
Nice video. I put two extra speakers in the inside of my fairing (06 Road Glide). I have been searching for water proof/water resistant speaker grills. Do they exist?
im not sure there are waterproof grills on the market however you may get some speaker material and waterproof it yourself and put it between the speaker and the inner fairing. That may work pretty good.
What is your trunk set up? I love how love it is
Just a standard trunk mount with the Advanblack color matched razor tour pack. www.advanblack.com/harley-parts/tour-pak-racks/tour-pak-luggage/razor-tour-pak-luggage.html
@@sikbaggers thanks for the reply. I have a 2012 ultra limited with stretched bags and I think that would look good since my trunk is falling apart is done cracked all the way down. The latches have broken and the plastics around the latches has cracked and falling off. Just fixed all this and repainted went to Vegas this past week 1,600 miles and the latch housing broke mid trip
My bike is a 22, and I have 6×9 lids. The only option I see on the site is 14 and newer (8 inch lids). Are those going to work for me?
yes..justpull more material down inthe bag before closing. Its not that much bigger. But now fits either lid
Is it ok to have your music up with these covers
yes you can....they are breathable so you can still hear your music
Steve, where did you get the handle bar mirrors?
They are performance machine arrows..I ordered them from getlowered.com
How’d u hang that tour pack on the wall in the background?
its 2 slotted angle steel pieces lag bolted to the wall...and two threaded rods with nuts on the outer edge. Space the apart slightly farther than the distance between the bracket, measure out the distance of the front and rear of the bracket and put your bars through the angle steel respectively. Super cheap and been using them for literally years.. I have 4 of them now. I dont know if you have a Menards where you are but here is the links to the stuff I got and you can pick this stuff up anywhere.. Slotted angle steel (I buy one long one and cut it in half) www.menards.com/main/hardware/sheet-metal-rods/hillman-reg-1-1-4-slotted-steel-angle-18-gauge/11115/p-1444432430083-c-9215.htm?exp=false and 2 of these threaded rods www.menards.com/main/hardware/fasteners-connectors/anchors/threaded-rods-nipples/hillman-reg-zinc-threaded-rod/11008/p-1444432412723-c-8724.htm?exp=false whatever size rod you get, pick up some nylon nuts for the ends.
@@sikbaggers just found the old video
Is it a set or is the cost for just one?
Its a set
They can use marine speakers
yeah ive tested a few marine speakers..they sound like garbage compared to Pro audio speakers and drivers. But yes they can run marine speakers if they choose.
Love the look of these covers and I’m getting some speakers in my lids installed this summer so I want these for when I wash the bike..... I went to the website and I could only find the full bike covers. Do you have a link?
Yes the link to them is in the video description but they are under SKNZ Accessories on the left menu of their website for future reference. Here is the link www.skn-it.com/collections/gear/products/saddle-bags
What 8 “ speakers u have in lids
I have went though several brands but im currently running PRV Pro Audio
Where did you get your floorboards??
These are prototypes by advanblack however it does not look like at this time we will be putting these into production.
Where did you get the speaker lids
Advanblack color matched www.advanblack.com/harley-parts/harley-saddlebags-parts/saddlebag-lids-covers/14-saddlebag-lids/8-speaker-lids/advanblack-color-matched-8-saddlebag-speaker-lids-cover-for-harley-davidson-touring-14-19.html
So question... I clicked on the link for the skin covers and I ordered it. I have 8 inch speakers on my bag like yours but I went back and I read it said ...
“Custom made to fit Harley Davidson Road King Motorcycle Bikes. “
I have a 2020 RGS, will I be good?
They $70 now what happened to the 40
uploaded 4 years ago
I guess they decided that they were worth more money. Current price is $70.00!
well this was shot several years ago..id say the price probably went up since then like everything else since covid...unfortunately.
my knees are in the breeze and my speakers aren't in the rain
Don’t see the link Steve can u send it again
www.skn-it.com/collections/gear/products/saddle-bags
That’s says 13 n below
Got it thx much
@@williamchillcott568 yeah use the drop down menu to select 14 up
They raised the price now there $70 I would’ve bought them all day long for $40
well compared to the alternative that scratches the hell out of your lids or the alternative made from the same material from Speed by Designs that cost 150....id say you're still getting a good deal...this was also shot 4 years ago.
A ha !
Thanks for checking it out man! Much appreciated.
2024-$69
yep...normal inflation
Speakers !!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha WTF !!!! Love the sound of my Ducati !!! So now if the "LOUD PIPES " aren't bad enough, they are over powered by shitty loud music !!
Ok..you love your ducati..cool. so? a lot of us like our loud pipes and shitty music. Too each his own....I swear some of you grown men are like little ass kids making fun of each other on the playground. Seriously dude..this is what your grown ass does in your spare time? Wow bro.
