I bet if you follow the instructions for LED Instrument Panel replacement (which gets you to take the whole front off the instrument panel and to the speakers), then all you have to do is replace.

Really easy actually, I was able to get to mine pretty quickly.

That's correct. The How to replace your dash lights with LEDs article covers removing the dash, which gives you full access to the speakers. The speakers are then just held in place with four screws.

Good rescue Admin....gotta admit, those directions are really good (of course). Now I have to repaint a fader control console for the bike so it all matches the painting from last year. After that, Sirius on the bike so I get my Margaritaville, and all will be good with the world.
