Default Vtwin speaker adapters

Will both GZ Yellow and red baskets fit in the Vtwin tp pod adapters?
Also does anyone have a picture of Vtwin adapters installed?
I know I've seen a pic on here but can't find it.
Pic on Vtwin website is useless.
Thanks

You may want to say what you are installing it in.

I don’t have a picture handy but you can see them in a video I made. As for the GZs fitting, I can’t answer that as the MMats are the only speakers I have tried in there so far.

8T, once you hold the VTwin adapters up to the tourpak the installation orientation becomes pretty self evident. The adapters aren't concentric, but are molded to conform nicely to the OEM geometry of the tourpak itself. No pics. but hopefully a helpful observation.

Thanks. I will probably go with them. I can get larger pods for $80 from an installer but then have to cut in headset connections and passenger controls. If the Vtwin adapters look as good as people say that seems easier. A picture would still be nice.

Tell me more about the 80 dollar oversized pods, please. I don't really care about the audio controls in the tp pod. I don't use headsets and I never told my wife she could control the music from back there.

I don't use headsets either and have the rear controls locked out in hu. I was thinking of keeping my options open though.
As far as the oversized tp pods, I just took a quick glance and they looked good as far as quality, color match and stitching compared to original factory pods. I know GZ's fit in them but I don't know dimensions. I will be back there in about 10 days to take a better look at them and try to pick me up a pair. He told me that is all they use because he doesn't like the way spacers look. I can let you know more after I see them again. I'm not sure if he normally sells them or only for installs or if price will be different without installation.

Egg, what apes are those on your bike? They look like 1.5" dia. They look great. I'm getting ready to swap mine out and want 1.5".
