Default Speaker lids question

Shopping for 8” speaker lids, no tweeters, to fit 14 up road glide with factory tourpak on. Do most lids fit or are they too tall to clear? I see a couple say they won’t work but most don’t say either way. Suggestions?

Speed by design Molly Whopper or Cicada have 8' lids, no tweeter. Usually they fit, but if they don't, you just have to put a couple washers in mounting bolts to raise the TP a tad. Cicada kit is nice, comes with grills, gaskets and some dynamate and vivid black or unpainted option.

Ohh my! That is the worst thing I’ve ever seen from Hertz. It’s drops the speaker so far in the bag. You can’t put a larger 8” in there. And why someone would ever switch from a SX690 to a SX 200, make zeros sense. Unless you want to lose all mid bass and gain only mids and highs.
Gross!
