CreatureCruiser Posted May 22, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) I'm working on swapping out the stock front speakers in my 07 RSV. Got my Polk DB401's and followed the instructions I found on the site to disassemble the fairing to access the speakers. Then I hit a wall. I can remove the nuts holding the speaker in place, but the inside side of each speaker is behind a metal structure keeping the speaker from sliding off the bolts (see the yellow trace in the picture). I thought maybe the speaker mounting bolts might slide out from the back of the fairing if I could get the speaker grill removed. But, after removing the only screw I could see that might hold the grill in place (the red circle in the picture), the grill would not come off. http://i41.tinypic.com/11rruy1.jpg Now, given that so much of the fairing assembly is made of less-than-tolerant plastic, I didn't want to "force" anything without getting some guidance. What's my next step? Thanks to all. -Dave Edited May 22, 2009 by CreatureCruiser Inserted a better quality picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreatureCruiser Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share #2 Posted June 27, 2009 Couldn't figure out why nobody was replying to my post until I searched deeper and found that Cougar had posted a step-by-step process with pictures on getting the front speakers out. Posted back in 2007, no less. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=16934&highlight=front+speakers Thanks Jeff ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted June 27, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 27, 2009 You are very welcome Dave! Glad It helped. heck I even forgot how I took them out. This Is why I stress write-up's and pictures all the time. It really helps other's and the pictures are worth a 1000 words. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted June 27, 2009 Share #5 Posted June 27, 2009 Dave, Even if it has been posted before, we wouldn't have purposefully ignored you. At the very least somebody would have posted a link to the article. Sometimes when there are just a lot of posts, one gets overlooked. Sorry about that.
