I am running an amp and tried the JBL's that everyone was buying. They sounded nice, but I blew them pretty quickly with the amp. These Infinity's have been very popular among HD riders for speaker upgrades. They are not on par with the mid/upper lines of Hertz, HAT and Focal, but cost a fraction of the price.
They are louder (with amp) and are a bit brighter which works better when used with highway noise, loud pipes and full face helmets. They handle more power than the JBL's and use about all of the depth in the front F6B speaker pods. Due to the shape of the back of the front speaker pods, they fit only one way. They do require some trimming on the bezel like what the JBL's did.
The F6B has dual cavity front speaker pods. I added poly fill to the second cavity which seemed to help enhance the bottom end. My amp is 180wpc x 4 and I still have to watch the volume level with these speakers. They handle more than the JBL's, but won't handle the entire 180wpc.

Here are a couple of picts to get an idea of required bezel trimming:
