2014 front- fairing speaker grills
If somebody here knows for certain what grills work in the front fairing with Kappa 622.1 speakers please let me know.
I have read and tried to search out a definitive answer here but cant seem to come up with any absolute for certain grill that fits without hitting on the tweeter,
I read one post where the guy smashed the Boom audio ones flatter with a C-clamp. I see posts where some say the Cycle Sounds grill work and some say no they don't. The tweeters hit/touch up against the grill. I understand V twin audio makes some that are supposed to fit without touching the tweeters. Don't have any proof from here that this is true.
Any "for-sure" answers as to some that will fit properly and not rest up against the tweeter please post here. I don't want to waste time ordering and spending money on some that wont fit right or I have to pound on with a block off wood or squeeze with a vise or a clamp.
Thanks
Well I got a hold of the guys at V-Twin audio. Brian and Allen. Seem like pretty good ole Canadian fellas. They have a new version sort of a 2.0 version of their front fairing grills they are producing to especially work with the Kappa 622.11. He asked me to take my speaker and give him a good measurement to confirm what he was stamping out. He said he would make up a batch and have them shipped out in about a week. I hope it works out because I already went ahead and paid for them over the phone. I also ordered a set or rears with spacers for my tour-pak pods. They say they are certain the rears with match up and work fine. We'll see...

I am using the V Twin grills. Right after I ordered mine I saw a post that the origional versions were hitting and that Brian was going to send out a set of "deeper" ones to use. I emailed Brian right away to tell him I will need the deeper ones also. He held my order until some new ones were made and sent out for powdercoating. It took a little over a week to get the new grills but there is plenty of clearance with the tweeter. Just over a quarter inch. I had to trim the mesh where the sspeaker mounting screws are and slightly egg out the holes in the mesh for mounting but they fit, it's tight, but they work fine.
