Default 2021 FLFBS Speaker Install Advice?

I bought a set of G2 oHawk speakersAS5-X for my Fatboy not realizing these speakers are big. They are 5" in diameter and 7" in length. My bike doesn't have a Fairing but I have an aftermarket pop-on windshield. The speakers are way too big to install on my stock handlebars and so the only option I can think of is installing a mustache engine guard and mounting them there. I don't see a lot of information online or in these forums on where and how to install speakers. The engine guards I have seen online have rubber treads on them and so that may be problematic as well.

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone has pics of speakers mounted on a 2021 Fatboy I would love to see as I am struggling to find anything relevant.

Thanks,

Maybe there's no info because nobody uses them for the reasons that you state. I put a BOSS system with 4" Speakers that sound great, even at 90mph.

Mine are mounted on top of my apes, here are four different angles.
