Default Tweeters on a Road Glide

Where do you guys put the tweeters if you use a 6.5" seperate two way system on a Road Glide? Please show pics. Looks like maybe back in behind the steering head but don't remember what might be in the way under there and not sure about the sound levels coming out from behind there. Also how far do those protrude when mounted? When front wheel cranked all the way, comes pretty close back there.
Any help and especially pics much appreciated.
Thanks

I've seen a few people run tweets in place of two of the smaller gauges on Roadys and batwings. Prolly best to use a tweeter that is adjustable for the Roady so you can get the best angle. Tweeters are extremely directional. And one thing with tweeters. It is best to have the left firing towards your right ear and right towards your left. Gives a better range of sound.

Thanks Gremlin.
I know plenty of you have done this, any suggestions? Hate to drill holes and realize later they won't work out right.

Hog Tunes just released some that look pretty good. I may add some when I get some extra cash.

I mounted mine in the top small gauge holes on my batwing, ditched the air temp and volt meter as they are pretty useless, especially since they didnt come on my RK anyway, I figured with the addition of the bat wing, I wouldnt miss them. Required no trimming or cutting at all.

Thanks guys, the hog tunes dodad looks like crap and is WAY overpriced, wouldn't have that thing hanging on my bike. Also don't want to use my guage holes. Thanks for trying to help, I appreciate it.

Ok, anyone added tweeters as part of a 2 way 6.5" speaker system on a Road Glide(not a bat wing)? I would like to know where someone who has actually done this ended up putting the tweeters. Even better if you have pictures.
Can't believe no one here has done this, this is the practically the stereo forum. Help please.

Thanks Doc, but I know you have seen that monstrosity hanging on the gauges, UGLY, UGLY, UGLY. I would like to have something clean and sanitary, not looking for anything stuck on. If that's the only way to go, I'll pass...
