Default Lower fairing speaker grills

I just ordered a set of aftermarket lower fairings that have openings for 6.5 inch speakers. I also ordered a set of infiniti speakers to match what is in my fairing. I want to use a set of different grills than what the infinitis come with. I am thinking of ordering these:

Does anyone know if these are 6.5 inch? I didn't see a spec on their web site, but I could also be blind.

A quick call or website contact form to Hogtunes would probably get you a quick/correct answer.

Good luck, hope they fit. If they do, make sure to reply back. I have tried different grills for my lower fairing and the only ones that I could get to fit were the Harley ones. I'm sure there are guys making grills. Ask Alex (Haze) from Bagger Audio Labs.

i have the BOOM stage 1 speakers 6.5 and the grills dont fit, also tried Hogtunes and the grill is even bigger, not sure what to do at this point since i cant find grills that will fit in the opening, BOOM 6.5 are actually 6.75 outer diameter and the opening is the same and all speakers grills i can find are 7.25

Those look a lot like the Focal speaker grills I've got.
I wasn't able to make the plastic fit and have the speaker flush. I tried sanding them down but it wasn't working.

So I got a roll of black duct tape. Put a deep cut in the role that was as wide as the thickness of the outer edge of the speaker. Wrapped the tape around the outside of the speaker a dozen or so times till it the diameter was wide enough I could but the grill around the speaker without using the plastic piece.

It's worked great for years now. Grill is totally flush and grill stays put.

I bought aftermarket lowers, so not sure if the fitment will be the same. I'm hoping the ones I ordered fit. If I have to modify the grills, I don't care. I would just rather not use the Infiniti ones.

Thanks for the idea. I will give that a shot if they don't fit with conventional methods.
