Suggestion: go buy a couple of mouse pads or polyfil and install on your OEM speakers, and post your results.
I suspect that anyone willing to use mouse pads, polyfil etc. has already replaced the OEM speakers. I remember several years ago when my buddy replaced theOEM speakers on his bike that the magnets were so weak they slid down the side is his roll around tool box.
Look forward to reading your report.

I asked a local guy that has been doing high end stereo work in cars and bikes for years about using dynomat. I really trust this guy.
He told me that dynomat was great at preventing vibrations in large panels such as car doors, hoods, trunks and such. Also great at reducing road noise in a cage. He said that dynomat would certainly help but that the foam rubber was a better option for the small area inside the fairing.
According to him dynomat does little for controling the pressure wave off the back of a larger speaker like my 6X9's. He says the foam rubber absorbes and dissipates the pressure wave from the rear of the speaker, allowing the speaker to move freely without having to fight against the returning pressure wave.
I know just enough about stereo's to probably get me in trouble. I used the foam rubber mouse pads because he said thats what I needed to use. I have never used dynomat, so I don't know how it would work compared to the foam rubber. I can only speak from my experience about the mouse pads...They do what he said they would do.

Great idea with the mouse pads!

Though I haven't tried it, I'd say that all speakers would benefit from the speaker baffles.
I'm going to order some and give it a try when I change out my speakers. I'll try it with both the stock speakers and the replacements if I can get the baffles to fit with the stockers...
