Default Batwing braces

Are y'all using the little brace that run over to the speakers after installing new speakers? They don't line up quite like they did with the stock speakers and they will get in the way of my poly fill. Wasnt sure if people were just throwing them in the scrap parts pill or reinstalling them. I'm currently installing speaker adapters and some mm651s

you DO want to reuse those. They provide support for the outer edges of the fairing. Re-drill another hole in them if needed for your speaker alignment although I've never had to do this on any speaker I've used including the 7.1" BT. As for the polyfil, just tuck it around the brace..
