Really?
Lots of speakers and grill being stolen in your area?
Tell me please, how are the thieves removing the speakers and grills from motorcycle fairings?
How long does it take to do this?
Where is this happening in SC?

Probably easier and quicker to just take the whole bike.

Lock it in a garage.

Seriously, I did not know this was a thing. I cannot think of any device you could add to prevent them from dismantling your fairing.

Thank you.
Why? Are you rock'n a bodacious stereo on your ride? Do you have the security system on your bike?
I would not sweat it. If I were a thief looking for speakers, I would not choose Harley speakers.

@Bemo56 Can I take a guess? Are you new to riding? This is the first I've heard of anyone wanting to do this ... Good luck on your search

I was thinking he was this new generation of rider where stereo is most important.

I get excited when I see threads titled builds, and find out it's a radio. Times changes, guys used to wrench on their rides, now Harley has followed the way of Honda Civics

Try security screws (like Torx or Allen-head with a pin) instead of standard ones they’re a simple deterrent. For extra protection, small cable locks through the grills or a hidden kill switch for the speakers can help. Also, parking in well-lit areas or using a cover makes your bike less of a target.
