Speed By Design FAQ

What is the difference between Speed By Design Twisted 8 and Molly Whopper lids?

Both are urethane 8-inch saddlebag lids with an 8.2-inch speaker insert. Twisted 8 grew out of Speed By Design's Loud Daddy lid, with the insert enlarged and a horn option added; the horn hole is not pre-drilled, so you size it for an ST 25 or ST 35. Molly Whopper is a single 8-inch lid. Grilles, speakers and tweeters are not included with either.

Will Speed By Design 8-inch lids fit my bags?

Speed By Design builds these lids for 2014-2023 style Harley Touring bags with the one-touch latch and factory hinges, and they do not work with CVO electric-lock latches. Call us to confirm fitment on 2024-present bags or aftermarket bags before ordering, since the lids are made to order.

What speakers and grilles go in Speed By Design 8-inch lids?

Any quality 8-inch pro driver that fits the lid's depth, plus a horn if you drill for one. Recommended pairings for the Twisted 8 are the Hertz SV 200 midrange with an ST 25 or ST 35 horn. Speed By Design's Slick Rick's 8-inch Grillz finish the lid and come with mounting hardware. Browse our 8-inch midrange collection for drivers.

Speed By Design Twisted 8 Harley-Davidson 8 inch speaker lid with horn opening

Harley 8-Inch Speaker Lids: Going From 6x9 to 8

Most riders searching for Harley speaker lids want more than a 6x9 can give. An 8" lid gives you a bigger cone and room for a horn. That's what the Speed By Design Twisted 8 lids are built around.

Speed By Design says the Twisted 8 grew out of its Loud Daddy lids, which fit 7.7" speakers. The speaker insert went up to 8.2" and a horn option was added. The lids are designed for Harley's one-touch latches and the Hertz ST 35 horn, and the ST 25 fits too.

Finish the lids with Slick Rick's 8" Grillz, a wire mesh grille that ships with its mounting hardware. Then fill them from pro coaxial speakers or an 8" midrange with a separate horn.

Speed By Design Funky 8 tour pak lid with two 8 inch speakers and two horns for 2014-2023 Harley tour paks

Tour Pak Lids and Lid Hardware from Speed By Design

The Funky 8 Tour Pak Lid holds two 8" speakers and two horns on a 2014-2023 tour pak. It's the lid only, and audio is not included. It's a custom order part, so all sales are final.

The No Drama Lid Stoppers replace the factory lid tethers on 2014-2023 style lids and help prevent paint damage. They don't work with AdvanBlack 6x9 speaker lids.

Eight speakers on one bike need a real amp plan. Start with motorcycle amplifiers, or get a custom build quote.
