Black Steel Mesh Speaker Grilles
« on: June 26, 2009, 03:54:54 AM »

I just put these on my bike and they look awesome.  So far, every person with an Ultra that has seen mine wanted to know where to get them.  They are made by Hawg Wired and I got them through Hd-dude (Jim) here on the forum.  They look much better in person than in the photo, as I think the photo lights up the speaker cone to look just a little more visible than it really is.  There's no doubt that you see the speaker through these grilles, but they look great like this and the grille then matches the HogTunes speaker pod on the fairing.

They also let a lot more sound through than the stock covers.  The stock covers are actually a layer of cloth and then another layer beneath the cloth that apparently is a barrier for water.  If you ask me whether these will be a problem and allow water in when washing the bike, whereas the others didn't...I have no idea yet.  I'm planning on cutting the original speaker grille rear barriers to fit in the opening and shove them in there when I wash the bike...just in case and I'll go easy on spraying that area until I see how it's panning out.

The other option is to leave the original speaker grilles in place and these can be placed over top of the originals.  I checked it both ways and I couldn't pass up the look with the originals removed.

But they have been moved.  I took the clubs to Ocean City last week and finally got out to play 18.  No, I didn't put them on the bike...my friend took my clubs and luggage in his van...although I did find a way to transport my clubs on the bike.  Here's a few examples.  http://www.golfhograck.com/site/  or this http://gogocaddy.com/media.html  Hard to believe, but there are several companies out there that sell these with differing types of mounts.  I may very well end up with one of these on my bike at some point.

Maybe you haven't noticed before, but LarryB changes his photo pretty regularly.  I always look to see what he comes up with next.

They are from Drag Specialties or you can get them through Hd-dude (Jim) on this forum.  I think retail on them was around $29.95 for the pair.
