I just installed a set from Dargonfly..looks like they might fit. If not looks like you should be able to modify them to fit.

Those look like 5-1/4" > 6.5" adapter rings for autos. The H-D specific adapaters have a different shape for placement in the fairing. But if they fit with no off-set problems, it is a great find !!

If they are too thick,they may not work in a Road Glide.

I havent gotten my speakers in yet, supposed to be here tomorrow and then I am going to bestbuy to pick the rings up. Yes they are for cars, talked to a audio guy in town that does a lot of bikes here and he says, he mods the mounting wholes a bit and they work. He said to make sure the speaker rubber doesnt come in contact with the rings, he said light sanding to the inside of the ring will fix any issues. I post install here monday night.

Your right, I also ran into a off-set issue. I had to give it a try. I ordered a set of the dragonfly rings today.

Got my dragonfly adapters in today and installed my speakers man, what a huge improvement. I was in the garage and my wife sent me a text that said GEEZ A LITTLE EXCESSIVE HUN. It was at 1/4 volume and she was at the back of the house. I had the biggest smile on my face.
