Default Trivia question.

What year did HD start installing rear speaker pods on the dressers?

I'm asking because I'm wanting to know if they installed them on 1986 models?

1989 was the first year.
Thanks. Here is why I asked. I sold a set of new speaker pods on eBay. Now after I am gone he wants a refund because they won't fit his 1986 bike. I didn't think they even made speakers for that year. He filed a complaint through Paypal and they froze $207 of my money. I'm disputing it on these grounds and also since he never asked any questions before inning the bid. We'll see what happens.
If I was home, I would gladly accept a refund but there is no way I can deal with this now.

They should be able to bolt up on an '86 tour pack. I have mounted a set on an 85 TP before. Tied speakers into front outputs. Didn't add much sound but they fit.
