Kuryakyn Road Thunder Speaker Pods – Bluetooth Audio Controller
Some riders don't want a full sound bar stretching across their handlebars. The Road Thunder Speaker Pods give you a tighter, cleaner install without giving up the MTX audio quality underneath. Compact enough to tuck in without cluttering the cockpit, capable enough to actually hear over road noise at speed.
Pair it wirelessly to your phone and your music plays. Android or iPhone, it doesn't care. Once it's connected, there's no reaching for your device, no fumbling with cables while moving. If you'd rather run a wire, the 3.5mm input is there. The output connector lets you feed additional speakers or an external amp down the line if you decide to expand the system later.
100 watts of peak power with a 5-amp current draw. That low draw is worth paying attention to — it means you can run this through a full day of riding without putting meaningful stress on your charging system. The weatherproof housing handles rain and road spray the way a properly built motorcycle accessory should. 4.8 inches overall mounted height keeps the profile tight on the bars. Available in satin black and chrome. The satin black sits cleanly on a blacked-out build. The chrome works naturally alongside factory chrome hardware and polished touring builds. Pick the finish that matches how your bike is already put together. One thing to sort before ordering — the handlebar clamp mount is sold separately. Chrome version is P/N KUR495577, satin black is P/N KUR488631. Add it to the order at the same time so you're not waiting on a second shipment to finish the install.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which finish should I choose — satin black or chrome? Match it to your existing hardware. If your bike is blacked out or you're running dark accents throughout, go satin black. If your bars, controls, and engine covers are chrome, the chrome pods blend right in. Both are the same unit underneath — purely a finish decision. The mount isn't included — what do I need to order? The 1-1/4 in. handlebar clamp mount is sold separately. Chrome version is P/N KUR495577, satin black is P/N KUR488631. Pick up the matching finish at the same time so everything arrives together. What's the difference between these pods and the Road Thunder Plus Sound Bar? Size, power, and footprint. The pods run 100 watts peak and take up minimal bar space. The Sound Bar Plus runs 300 watts, adds silk dome tweeters, a built-in USB charger, and a bigger internal amp. If bar space is tight or you want a cleaner look, the pods are the right call. If you want maximum output in one unit, the Sound Bar Plus is the step up. Will the 5-amp draw cause any battery issues? Not on a healthy charging system. Five amps is low enough that most cruiser and touring bike alternators handle it without issue across a full day of riding. If your battery or charging system is already struggling, address that first — but on a properly running bike, this won't be a problem. Can I add more speakers to this later? Yes. The 3.5mm output port lets you run a line to additional pods or feed an external amp when you're ready to build the system out. It's designed to expand. Does it hold up in the rain? The weatherproof housing is built for real riding conditions — rain, road spray, general wet weather. Not meant for submersion, but everything you'd actually ride through on a normal day, it handles without issue. Do I need a special app to connect my phone? No app required. Standard Bluetooth pairing from your phone's settings works with both Android and iPhone. No proprietary software, no account setup — just pair and play.
