6.5" Polks can be made to fit.
I currently have a great sounding pair of DXI 651 Polks. It is a deliberate process but not hard or time consuming. Just detail work.
Make a template out of either laying the oem on the 6.5, trace the outline or build a cardboard template.
2 small areas on both speakers needing trimmed.
The MMs will also fit with modifying them. 20150228_103206.jpg

I have the 6.5" in on mine.

Is there a huge difference in sound quality between the Polk 6.5's and the stock speakers when using only the stock amp, or is it a must to upgrade the amp also. The audio is the only thing disappointing to me about the F6B.
Without upgrading the amp, you'd be better off with stock or maybe the J&M speakers. IMHOOriginally Posted by Greg O

Agreed,
The OEM isn't bad. An upgraded set will allow you a bit better sound at high volume. Worth the upgrade, toss up.
Without a significant power increase provided by an aftermarket amp, I'd say use a taller windscreen with the oem system. I can also say my stereo with amp and quality speakers is exponentially better in sound quality and volume.
My neighbors say they hear a rock concert coming and going blocks away when I ride the black bike...
I have the latest and greatest JM speakers on my street glide. Not so much...

Whats the best speaker available that goes in without cutting and modifying the housings?...Ive seen the ones JP cycle has and was wondering if its worth the money to do this upgrade?

This is just my opinion, but I think the JM offering is the only true " plug n play" speaker replacement.
It's also been said a "new and improved" offering from JM is coming this fall.
The oem is really pretty good sounding given the oem system and out put of its amp. I think most all other steps away from oem will entail some mod to fit.
Look into Polks DB 4.25 or 5.25. That chasis might be less intrusive to make fit and they sound pretty good out of the box. My second guess would be Infinity speakers.
