Hogtunes are popular. Me, ah like mah J&M's. Looks like either one is the most popular choice 'round this neck o' the woods.

You can buy a variety of good to super excellent speakers. I haven't tried any of the Usual suspects(hogtunes/hogwired) as it seems to be a bit overpriced.
I would get a set of 2 ohm speakers as you will get greater output out of the same amount of power compared to a 4 ohm speaker though - Just make sure they are safe for your head unit.

I have 2 ohm Infinity Kappasup front and they are great, if a little bright.
In the back I have some cheap(ish) Kenwoods and they have much more midrange and bass push.
I would go to a good stereo shop and look at some options.

I currently have the infinity's also -- love them

this is how I rate my previous speakers

MQ Quart -- can't be beat a little pricey -- best overall unlimited power handling capabilities

Rockford Fosgate --- nice highs a little lacking in the mid range --excellent

Hogtunes -- slightly better than stock, to much $$$ for what is delivered -- excellent customer service

Infinity-- an excellent speaker with excellent highs and mids

none of these speakers will produce any type of bass --- just won't happen with 5 1/4 speakers
