INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1: Remove the seat and both wires (+ and -) from the battery.
Step #2: Remove the outer fairing/headlamp assembly and set it aside. Refer to
a service manual if you need help with this. NOTE: A towel on the front
fender can help prevent scratches or “dings” from dropped tools or
fasteners etc. Expletives will also be kept to a minimum!
Step #3: On the brake side, inside of the of the inner fairing, there is a wire
“strap” that secures a 3-wire harness (black, blue and brown) to the
bike. Take the wire out of this strap and let it hang. The “A” arrow in
Figure 1.1 is where a larger factory “Molex” plug is secured to the
bike (if present). Pull down on this Molex to unclip it from the frame and
let it hang for now. NOTE: Newer model bikes have this Molex located
elsewhere.
The “B” and “C” arrows in
Figure 1.1 show the nuts that
need to be removed on the
brake side of the bike so the
steel plate and amp can be
mounted using these 2 main
studs. There is a triangular
“notch” on the plate which will
be at the bottom when correctly
installed. Once the plate is on,
re-install these nuts to factory
torque specifications. The Molex
that was removed from the
frame (arrow “A”) can be
re-secured to other wire
harnesses using supplied zip
ties (if Molex is present). There is “hook and loop” adhesive in the box.
One half will be applied to the plate, and one side will be applied to
the back of the amp. To make sure the fairing will go back on, attach
the amp on the plate high enough up but not quite touching the gauge
just above the amp. The outside edge of the amp (closest to brake side
speaker) should be close to flush to the outside edge of the plate.
Step #4: Unplug the factory wires at each front speaker. Locate and remove the
3 torx head screws and single speed nut that holds each speaker grill
to the bike. The speakers and grills will come away from the inner
fairing as one unit.
