Yes, those are the ones. It would be great if thats the only sound upgrade we need to really hear the sound at interstate speed.

(CVO StreetGlide)...BTW.  I may not have a RoadGlide, but...I do have the J&M speakers in my Streetglide.  The sound is a Vast improvement.  If you are looking for Truely satisfying Base...buy a set of headphones...or a car.  A bike is not a good platform for audio.  If you want good Lows, Highs and Mids on a bike....you need either a bazillion dollars or a cheap set of earphones.

I just installed the RideLoud adapters with Polk's and an Arc mini amp.  Loud and clear!  It looks better than stock with the grills, and performs great.

I put these in a few weeks back after hearing them at Street Vibrations last year in the J&M booth.  Honestly, while certainly an upgrade over stock, I am not blown away with the sound at hwy speeds.  They sounded much better in the controlled environment.  Might be better solutions out there.

No matter what you do, you need a good amp to drive any speakers.  The radio can't pull it off.  If you're sticking with the radio only, you're probably better off staying with 5 1/4's like stock.  Otherwise bite the bullet, and go for an amp/speaker combo.  $450 - $850 depending on how you go.
