These have definitely helped out. Once installed I also noticed the fairing seems to vibrate more. I am still thinking I am going to remove these and install some Mille pro in there. They fit in the original pod and American hard bag makes a nice grill for the tweeters.

For me personally, it makes a huge difference with my fairing speakers. a few of the guys at the last MNG could tell the difference also

So I found with the rings I had to remove the polyfil. It seemed to choke off the speakers to much.

Do you just fill around the speakers? Do you have any pictures of this?
