Rear Speakers

Post by MalamuteMike »

Does the rear speakers come apart on the voyagers, I was wanting to paint the grills sense I am repainting the bike, I haven't tried to take them apart yet?

The rear speakers do come apart, but from the bottom. Don't try to use a allen wrench on the face. (don't ask my why).

You won't be able to get the grills of even if you take the speakers apart, I just taped mine off and painted the grilles, yes the speakers too, only took a light coat of paint and didn't effect the speakers at all.

The grills do come off, once the speakers are out bend up the 4 tabs and the grill comes off, paint and put back in, I would use a dab of sillycone on each tab to keep any rattles from driving you bonkers

The easiest way to spray paint is to tape off around the speakers and use extra newspaper to protect the bike. I have done it a couple of times and it works great.
