What holds the grills in?   I have just put focal speakers in but the grill mounting bases are too large to fit in the openings.  Does the grill fit right into the lower opening?  I used a dremel tool to remove the plastic from inside the Harley bar and shield.  Ill post a pic later.  Not perfect but it works.

If the speaker grilles fade I'll just get them replaced.  You would think they would put these items through some sort of environmental test.

Part number for the caliper inserts is 44935-06.
Dunno what they cost but I don't think they were all THAT expensive.

$2.70

DennisG, shoot TIF2 (Rich) a PM (include your phone #) and he can explain what he did.  I know he's very busy just now and it may take some time for him to get back to you.  IIRC, when I talked to him about the grilles, he removed the metal mesh from the OEM grilles, and installed the Focal mesh in the OEM grille rings.

I'm shopping for some grilles now, and hope to do this mod soon.

Here's what I did with mine.  I removed the plastic from inside the emblem with a Dremel Mototool.  Only problem is that there is a large hole underneath along with the small holes.  I need to paint the inside black .  I might still do what he did.  It does look good.

Not sure how it would look, but maybe you could cut out the rest of the grill behind the logo.  Especially if you decide to replace the whole grill anyway.  Would have nothing to lose at that point, and might look pretty trick.
