SESG2 - New grills for lowers completed
« on: June 25, 2011, 08:37:21 AM »
Been messing with the grills for the lower speakers as I'm not really thrilled with the stock design (let alone the recent fading issue). The stock emblem blocks the tweeters from my Hertz HCX-165s, and wanted a different solution.

Thought it would be pretty easy but alas - this is Mother Harley - so the speaker boxes are difficult to fit with aftermarket grills. I tried 3 different sets, and finally had to go with Focal grills. These started life as a set of Focal grills from the Polyglass line ( I think). Found them online then started the mods to them.

How do you think they turned out?

Had to create a new deflection for the CVO emblem. Took a little time to get it right.

Nope ... they come with just a regular Bar and Shield right in the center of the grill.
The emblems are the CVO brake caliper inserts ....  ;)

Funny - the FLHXSE and FLHXSE2 parts manuals do not show the emblems as VIN protected, but turns out they are  :(.

Really like your new grills but a question----------why didn't your just repaint the stock ones with a can of satin black spray paint? Mortons makes some in a spray can that auto paint stores sell that is really good. I painted my old bikes inner fairing with it and you can't tell it from stock stuff. A friend of mine that owns a body shop turned me on to it.

Rich, beautiful job and clever innovation to cure the blockage of the tweeters of your Hertz speakers by the center-located HD emblem of the OEM grilles.

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