About

This all began with the desire for bigger sound for my own 2009 Kawasaki Voyager 1700 ABS. After mounting an amp under the cowl I decided that the 5 1/4″ speakers, even aftermarket speakers, were not going to cut it. I set out to design an adapter that would allow 6 1/2″ speakers to be mounted to the factory location. The catch was it had to be easy and non-destructive. Pulling from 27 years of engineering design including some very complex aerospace tooling I wanted to design an adapter that was not only functional but would compliment the Voyager and Vaquero designs.

After purchasing a 3D printer to encourage my son in his pursuit of engineering I now had the platform to make test parts to verify the reverse engineering. With his help and a lot of frustration (3D printers are not exactly plug and play, I found out) we finally got it dialed in and I printed the first prototypes and mounted them to the bike. I was impressed! I posted my new design on a motorcycle forum and was amazed at the amount of riders wanting their own. After a few revisions including changing the angles to get the rider right in the sweet spot for stereo imaging and designing it to fit multiple speakers I started printing them! The reviews have been unbelievable! Thank you to those who were among the first to purchase that helped with feedback.
