These from Arc audio are the safest bet if you are having fitment issues:

Amazon.com : Arc Audio 6.5" Speaker Adapter Rings for Harley Davidson : Vehicle Speakers : Car Electronics Amazon.com : Arc Audio 6.5" Speaker Adapter Rings for Harley Davidson : Vehicle Speakers : Car Electronics



But if those are too rich for your blood I've had extremely good luck with these:

I've had issues with fitment (speaker and fairing mostly on Roadies) that took a little "engineering" to get to fit properly with several of the cheaper adapters.

Never had an issue with Arc Audio adapter rings.

I got 13 SG and so does bro. I used these without issues. both with Polks.

Keep in mind you need to position the speaker to ring screws first (1 or 2 might end up a bit in an angle (~10 degrees off). they'll go in straight.

Just take a little bit more time...

PS. same as gannicus pointed out - from Eastern Performance BTW - well known aftermarket online shop...

See my post about new audio install. The Polk mounting holes are off the outside of the speaker adapters. Half of each hole that is. I used a dremel to elongate the mounting holes on the speakers themselves towards the cone and this allowed the adapter ring holes to line up with the speaker holes.
