Tweeter install
I moved the fuel and volt gauges down and put the tweeters in the upper spots. High frequencies travel in a strait line. Much better imaging that way. BTW, if you buy a set of the gauge plugs from the MOCO (~$6.00), you can mount your Focal tweeters in them and they end up flush with the front of the fairing. Cut the center out of the gauge plugs with an 1 3/4" hole saw and the Focal tweeter friction fits perfectly with a little bit of work. I couldn't be happier with the install! Looks factory.

I put the JL tweeters in the lower holes, with the gauge plugs 75106-96a, mainly for looks. I just think they look better alongside the radio.

Gauge Plug part #
No problem. They are the same plugs they use in the EG Standard, which only has two gauges. Part # 75106-96A. Only $5.95, which includes two plugs. Probably the cheapest I ever walked away from the parts counter! They will make for a 1st class tweeter install. Good luck.

09 FLHT/Focal components here. Initially had tweeters in lower vacant holes but swapped around fuel/volt meter guages and tweeters this past fall. BIG difference. The upper holes are 3" higher and 1" further out on center from the lower holes and angled slightly inward. Fuel and volt meter guages can be seen just fine in the lower spots...

I was wondering about mounting them this way, seems like a perfect location. Did you have to move anything from the back side of the fairing for clearance? Which tweeters are these?
