Hogwildbagger, goose136 has got it right, I had Martin do them. They look even better in real life, best $80 I ever spent.

 

Nice! I liked the J & M ones too, but wasn't going to spend what they want for them, now I've got a good option. Thanks!

 

subscribed don't want this one getting away from me.....Nice job

 

Well mglax13, I liked your mod so much that I had to copy your idea! I am very happy with the results and now my bike is that much "cooler and brighter"!

I purchased the Alpena 28" (2 X 14") LED Strips from AutoZone in white. The LED's are on one side of the strip and not in the center. I faced the LED's into the speakers to light them up!

Install was super easy as these feature 3M premium tape already attached. All I did was clean the speaker ring inside with alcohol and then went to work. I slowly pulled away the backing tape and made sure I was going straight. I took my time and it all came out fine. I then drilled a small hole in the ring to bring out the wires. I hard wired the 2 strips into the cigarette lighter wiring. I didn't want to go looking for power and ground and it worked out just fine.

LED Strip attached to the inside of the speaker ring:


LED Strip wired and powered up before installing RF Power 6.5" coaxial:


Power and Ground hard wired into cigarette lighter wiring:


All done and all I need next is my gauges!:

 

I think I may have to do this as well. Just have to decide which color works the best... Hmm decisions decisions.

 

Thanks for the great idea. I just finished installing mine

 

let's see here...

CVO speaker pods for vented lower farings... check

Polk Audio Dxi 650's... check

Rockford Fosgate PBR300x4... check

Ordered Throttle up Industries adapter rings.... check

Guess that I had better jump on the band wagon for this custom mod as well, local Autozone here I come!

Drinking the HD Forums Kool Aid taste great, but I swear it rots your teeth!

 

pauly, those are the EXACT LED's I bought from Pep Boys...great find! Speakers look awesome! Let me know if they're too bright at night. I dimmed mine down becasue I was afraid of it being too bright. The face of the speaker cones is also silver, so it reflected the light a lot. Not sure what color your speakers are.

 

how did you dim them down?
what resisters did you use, part numbers?
