Cicada 24HDRINGT Template Kit Overview
The Cicada Audio 24HDRINGT removes much of the measuring and positioning guesswork from a large-driver saddlebag installation. Each molded template is shaped to align with its corresponding 2024 and newer Harley-Davidson saddlebag.
The templates identify the intended cutout and drilling locations for compatible Cicada 8-inch and 10-inch mid-bass speakers. They also provide guides for the 24HDPORT3 port system and separately installed saddlebag braces.
This is one universal template-kit SKU for the supported layouts. You do not need to choose an 8-inch or 10-inch template variant.
