Default Polk Audio MM651, Different grills?

I finally got around to setting up the rear speakers in my tour pack. I'm using
The Polk MM651's to match what I have in the fairing. Unfortunately, unlike the front (as I'm sure most of you are aware) the rears are surfaced mounted and I am not a fan of the factory grill Polk supplies.

I did order a set of the V Twin Audio adapters but they would not work as the tweeter interferes with the grill. And the speaker fits the pod without an adapter.

So, anyone have any suggestions for an aftermarket grill? Preferably a mesh type grill.

I had a similar situation with Kappa speakers. I ended up using these CVO grills. The Kappa tweeter still wanted to come in contact with the tweeters so I ended up molding the grills to add clearance.

Thanks for the input, Bert.

Those grills look nice.

Do you happen to have a part #? cost?
