Default Speaker Grill Options

I'm putting Polk MM651's in my tour pak and DB651's in the front fairing and lowers. I'm not crazy about the spoked grills. What other options are there. I think I read that the CVO grills work. Do they?

Good question....i was thinking the same thing? Can you even use the grills that come with aftermarket car speakers for the fairing? If not, what's everyone using?

Cvo grilles will work for both locations and speakers you are referring to. I have the db's in my fairing and lowers and the MM's in the tour pak with the CVO grilles on the pods and lowers. You don't use aftermarket in the fairing. You use stock.

If you haven't bought them yet I'll give you a great deal on all 6 speakers and a set of CVO grilles. Soundstream 4.520 amp too.

D**n! 1 day late! I ordered yesterday. I need the CVO covers if you want to part with those separately.

Understandable. Anything to know about your system? My buddy wants the same setup but he's waiting to see how mine sounds.

I'm not happy with it. That's why I'm replacing everything with Biketronics. Don't like not having any FM, don't care for the way the DB's sound, and leery about the problems people are having with the MM's.

Google Legacy Baggers for custom made to order grillz... I can do most glide dash speaker grillz and tourpaks.
