Default fairing speaker pods
has anyone come across a good way to get better sound out the older bikes that don't have speaker pods other than a speaker upgrade? just wondered if there were speaker pods being built for older fairings (98-13).

The Biketronics speakers are over priced and sound like crap. Much better for much cheaper. Mmats, Ground Zero, Arc, Hertz, Cicada just to name a few.

So when I say speaker pod. I'm talking about a plastic box that surrounds the speaker and is connected to the inner fairing. This helps project the sound out. 2014 up all have and sound quality is much better.

I have not seen any pods for 13 and older. But you are right they do help with making the speakers sound fuller.
