Default Tweeter Mounting?
Looking for alternatives to mounting tweeters in the grills. Please post up some pic's if you went a different route... Was thinking of area where my fairing mounted mirrors attached but hesitant to cut on the inner fairing...

I have seen some kits that allow the tweeter to be mounted in the gauge holes

Do them in the grills brother. Easy to cut and mount. If not you will have no choice but to cut the fairing

What is used to cut the grills? Never cut a mesh grill before.

Two inch dozer bit with pilot bit.

Just screw the grill face down to a thick piece of wood, and drill away in the center of the grill. Clean up sharp edges w Dremmel. I used a couple of 2x10 scraps stacked and now have a jig that works well.
Just make sure u take the tweet to lowes w u as 2" might be a touch big. I think I have 1 7/8 for focal and 2" for hertz MLK but not sure.

Huh, I use the metal CVO grills. Easy to cut with hole saw or dremmel.
