Title: 2017 speaker fitment
Post by: rglide17 on February 23, 2022, 01:01:21 PM
Does anyone know if stock speakers from a 2018 RGS will fit a 2017 RGS? My stock speakers are blown and I came across some from a 2018. I plan on upgrading the whole system this summer at Sturgis but I'm just wanting something cheap for the time being to help me limp by until then. Thanks in advance

Comparing the 2017 (5.5" speaker) to the 2018 (6.5" speaker), the speaker enclosures are the same part number, but the grills and speakers have different part numbers. Grill gaskets same both years. Speakers will physically bolt to the housings, and radio is the same, so compatible that way, but you may need the 2018 grills.
