Description
Our new Generation 2 Fairing Adapter converts your sub-par factory 5-1/4" speakers to a wider range 6-1/2" speaker. This Gen2 version is not injection-molded, is more robust and addresses any issues we had with the original version.
- Manufacturing time! Being 3D-printed, we could barely keep up with demand with the Gen1 version and have been in perpetual back-order almost since day one.
- Design! We made these even more robust to accommodate for the stress and environment.
- Fitment! We have had many customers indicate they had to remove material to install their speakers due to interference on the Gen1. this design offers a more open interior which will now fit MANY more 6-1/2" speakers with no modifications.
- Durability! We have had these adapters out for many years now and while they have really stood the test of time, these new injection-molded adapters raise the bar for finish, durability and aesthetics!
These have 4 elongated holes to fit most 4-bolt speaker patterns. If you are installing a 5 or 6-bolt speaker, you will need to drill your own screw clearance holes. There is an index marking at the top of the adapters to index your speakers for drilling holes.

We have not tested all of these but customer feedback states the following speakers will fit without modification (uos). Not all listed are marine grade. Most 6.5" speakers require holes to be drilled into the cones to allow more air into the cone or you may remove the cones completely. We recommend you try both options to determine which sounds the best. This list of new make/models for the Gen2 is based on customer feedback.

The speaker pods easily fit my Polk Audio MM652 speakers using the 4 bolts from the original speakers. After attaching the speakers to the adapter the adapter easily fit to the motorcycle in the original location of the speakers and it looks great. This adapter coupled with the aml bracket and the wiring harness to connect the amp to the factory radio makes for an easy set up and plug in play with a few changes to fit the set up. All in all this was an amazing experience and easy for anyone especially because the owner is very responsive and willing to help.

Excellent adapters—perfect fit and factory look.
I used 6.5″ speakers from Skar Audio and these adapter in my 2017 Vaquero, and everything fits perfectly while maintaining a stock appearance. The installation was very straightforward, reusing all the original grille nuts, and the kit includes a longer bolt for the external mounting hole and speaker clips, you just need your speaker screws. This is a worthwhile investment if you want larger speakers mounted securely on adapters that look as good as something Kawasaki itself could have made.

Ordered these adapters with the wiring harness and polk 6.5’s and rear pods. All of it is easy to install and and fantastic quality. Especially with his wireing harness. Simple plug and play.
have spoken to randy several times over different things/orders and questions regarding opinion on order and upgrades. His customer service and knowledge is top notch. Hes a great guy who cares about his service and product and brand name. He stands by his brand and so do I.
I recommend his products to anyone looking for an upgrade. He supplies everything needed as well as advice on what to use or order with your upgrades.

I highly recommend these for the Vaquero! The sound quality of upgrading to 6.5″ speakers is phenomenal! The crew at EA are always helpful and easy to communicate with! I would also recommend that you purchase the speakers that they recommend, I did not and had to make a very miniscule alteration to get the speakers that I bought to mount (Kicker BKM604W Kicker 6.5″ 150 Watt Peak Power 2-Way Marine OEM Replacement Black Boat Audio Speakers).
