Lowers on wethead
Thinking outside of the box today. Stopped at the local dealer today and noticed they make a Boom System lower fairing speaker setup for wethead bikes. Its a kit with lower fairing cover extensions, speakers, grilles and wiring. The kit is part number 76000660. They are a 4" speaker.
I checked with the parts guy and the housing and grilles are serviced separately. The housings are 52.00 ea.
Here is my thought, could a guy find a 4" speaker that's worth a damn to use those lowers?
Please give me your thoughts gentlemen.

I looked into those as well when i got home.
The kit is 400.00. I don't know how much of that is speaker cost or if they'll piece it out. If they won't, it's a bit of money to toss the speaks.
Not that i haven't pissed away more money than that before.lol.....bigger than that though, is how big of a speaker can you get into that extension. I ordered one of the Boom audio enclosures to do a lil research. I'll see where this lands.

Just wanted to do a quick update. The Boom II speaker enclosure adapter came in today. I need to pop off the covers and install the adapter to see what depth speaker will fit. It is setup for a 4" speaker but it looks like that could be modded to accept a larger diameter.
Gonna have to play with this on the weekend.
Edit: after a minute more of thought.
I'd be willing to bet that Dale could certainly design an extension for those that could fit at least a 6.5. He has got mad skills, after seeing his tp pods.

DSM where did you end up with those? Thinking about getting a pair and doing a fiberglass pod on them.

I haven't really gotten any further yet. I am going to bring it with me to milwaukee next weekend and see if a crew of us can brainstorm an idea. I will let you know the results.

I hope the brainstorm comes up with a fix. Us wet head guys need some sound from the lowers somehow. Keep us updated
