DS18 Harley Front Grille Tweeter Kit Overview
This DS18 front grille upgrade adds dedicated high-frequency output to compatible 2014–2023 Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycles without using a separate custom tweeter mounting location.
Each replacement grille is preloaded with a DS18 NVY-BULLET1 bullet tweeter. The tweeters use compact neodymium motors and high-sensitivity compression-style construction to project vocals, cymbals and upper frequencies through wind, road and exhaust noise.
Inline crossovers are included to filter lower frequencies before they reach the tweeters. Select the correct Road Glide or Street Glide grille version before ordering because the two fairing designs use different replacement grille assemblies.
Available Road Glide and Street Glide Versions
2014–2023 Road Glide
Select this version for compatible 2014–2023 Harley-Davidson Road Glide sharknose fairings. The grille shape and mounting design are specific to the Road Glide front speaker locations.
2014–2023 Street Glide
Select this version for compatible 2014–2023 Harley-Davidson Street Glide batwing fairings. The grille shape and mounting design are specific to the Street Glide front speaker locations.
What Comes with the Kit
Replacement Grille Pair
One matched pair of Road Glide or Street Glide replacement front speaker grilles, depending on the selected variant.
Two NVY-BULLET1 Tweeters
Each grille is preloaded with one DS18 NVY-BULLET1 2.5-inch, 4-ohm neodymium bullet tweeter.
Inline Crossovers
Inline crossover filtering is included to reduce damaging low-frequency content before it reaches the tweeters.
Why Riders Choose This Front Grille Upgrade
Stronger High-Frequency Projection
The high-sensitivity bullet tweeters help project vocals and upper frequencies over wind, exhaust and highway noise.
Preloaded Grille Design
The tweeters arrive mounted in the replacement grilles, reducing the fabrication normally required for a separate tweeter location.
OEM-Style Appearance
Vehicle-specific grille shapes maintain a clean factory-style appearance while adding dedicated high-frequency drivers.
Inline Crossover Protection
Included crossover filtering helps keep low-frequency energy away from the tweeters and supports cleaner high-frequency performance.
Weather-Resistant Construction
The IP65-rated tweeter design and UV-resistant materials are suited to exposed motorcycle fairing environments.
Road Glide or Street Glide Fitment
Separate fairing-specific versions provide the correct grille shape for compatible 2014–2023 Touring applications.
DS18 NVY-BULLET1 Tweeter Performance
The NVY-BULLET1 is a compact neodymium bullet tweeter designed for efficient output in motorcycle and powersports audio systems. Its 102dB sensitivity allows it to produce strong high-frequency output without requiring excessive amplifier power.
- 2.5-inch bullet-style high-frequency driver
- Compact neodymium motor assembly
- 4-ohm nominal impedance per tweeter
- 50 watts AES power handling per tweeter
- 100 watts program power per tweeter
- 200 watts peak power per tweeter
- 2kHz–20kHz published frequency response
- 102dB published sensitivity
- Recommended high-pass frequency of 4kHz
Inline Crossover and Amplifier Setup
Included Crossover Filtering
The supplied inline crossovers filter lower frequencies from the tweeters. Install them in the signal path and secure them where they cannot move, rattle or contact sharp fairing components.
Amplifier or DSP Configuration
When the system uses an aftermarket amplifier or DSP, configure the output for the tweeters’ 4-ohm impedance, power rating and recommended high-pass operating range.
