Default Speaker Pod Replacement Ideas

Has anyone discovered something with a clean look to cover the holes used by the speaker pods. I'm considering removing the rear speakers from my tour pak and would like a clean look with some sort of pad. HD doesn't make anything I am told. Thanks!

I am in the process of trading away my speaker pods here and I was thinking of just using License plate bolts to fill the holes. Probably just plain red reflectors. I also have a friend that works leather so if I ma nice to him maybe he will make me some sort of leather panels.
That's my .02

My SE Leather tour pack kit came with push in plugs if not installing the pods. You can also get these at any automotive store.

The plugs Abnmarine referred to are HD PN 90102-06.

Some HD touch-up paint and smallest diameter plastic plugs would be the solution for me.

IIRC, Dragonfly Concepts sells speaker pods that accept 6.5" speakers for about 200 USD; also, Pez may sell his Hog Tunes rear pods w/ and w/o speakers.

I am also interested in obtaining pods if anyone in this string wants to get rid of theirs. If not, then I will buy from HD, PEZ or Dragonfly if I can't find some quality used (cheaper) one out there. Thanks.

Try taking a piece of 1/4" plywood cut to a shape you like, drill hole to match the tour pack, then epoxy some carraige bolts in place. Take to a shop and have it covered with padding and fabric of yourchoice. That would be something different. What ever you do please send pictures.
