Speaker adapter delima
I'm trying to get some Sundown BPS-6.5s mounted up in my 2000 FLHTC, inner fairing and lower fairing pods. I already have the so-called “recommended” adapters to go from the stock 5.25” to 6.5”, but they’re too damn small. The Sundowns need a 6 3/4” bolt pattern center-to-center, and the factory lower pods are only 6 3/8” center-to-center.
I need an adapter that basically sticks out about 1/2” and then flares out to the right bolt pattern so everything lines up solid. Not interested in hacking it together with screws that barely bite or silicone. I want it right and done once.
Has anybody run into this with these Sundowns? If you’ve got a file for 3D print or CNC, I’m all ears. Or if you know someone making proper adapters for this, point me that way. Sick of chasing my tail on this. I just want to get these in and enjoy the music.
Appreciate any help.

There are no spacers that flare out. That would be super strange if those speakers have a different bolt pattern.
I don't think anyone has ever mentioned Sundown speakers on this forum.
Your best option is a 1/2 spacer and the bolt holes should line up

Here is the physical speaker size and here it is sitting in the lower fairing. I know it’s a bit large but I would think it’s close enough to make work.
