Working on a tour pak

I am in the process of retrofitting a 2014 tourpak to work on my softail and have some questions. The one I have normally has the speaker pods which currently are not there. I don't want pods and have no plans to wire for sound in the short-term. Any suggestions on pads or something to fill the gap there? The holes are pretty good size. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

you could plug the holes with solid grommets. I think you can find them at the bigger hardware stores.

The Ace Hardware store in our town has a whole section of chrome goodies for motorcycles. Along with that are many caps and plugs.

Maybe just use the mounting brackets that fit the holes for the pods. Looks like they bolt right in.

Think I figured out a plan. Appreciate the tips. One more quick question..the pack I got had none of the stock leds. I found some on craigslist that the guy removed day 1 for the smoked ones. Is 250 a bit steep for the stock led tour pack lights?

I believe so. All the stock red leds that most people swap to the smoked ones

Reconfirmed with the guy. 250 is for all the lights (Rear and the two side lights). After much thought, instead of filling the holes, I just decided to buy some cheap used speaker pods from ebay. At some point, I might just run an amp between the speakers and see if I can get some extra sound for the longer trips.
