Fairing Lower Speaker Kit Installation
Step #1: Remove access covers from the glove boxes. Using a cutting tool such
as side cutters, the 4 male parts each access panel snaps into will be cut and
removed. Cutting them from inside the glove box will eliminate marks on the
front of the glove box. When cut, parts may “fly” so please be careful and
wear eye protection! On non vented lowers (up to and including 2004 models),
the plastic trim bezel the 4 male plugs sit “in” must also be removed.

Step #2: Looking inside the glove box, locate the 2 nuts at the back of the glove
boxes, and remove. This will release the painted lower fairing “cap” so be
careful it doesn't fall and get scratched!! Remove and put aside.
Step #3: Looking from the front side of lower, locate the flat plane approx. 1”
towards the motor, directly across from the lower bolt hole for the fairing cap
just removed. Drill a 1/8”(3mm) pilot hole in the center of this plane, then a
final 5/16”(8mm) hole-you will go through 2 layers. If working on Clutch Side,
pass speaker wire marked “Clutch side” into glove box, large connector first.
The sticker can be removed to fit through the hole if needed. Pull up any slack
into the glove box so that wire will go along crash bar, making sure to keep
quick release plugs in the center. Using the supplied black “gummy” material,
seal the hole around the wire inside the glove box. Move to Step #4.
Step #3a: Remove the “cap” on the front of the fairing lower held on with
Phillips screws. Directly under the bottom of the clamp that holds the fairing
lower to the crash bar is a flat plane. Drill a 1/8”(3mm) pilot hole in the center
of this plane, then a final 5/16” (8mm) hole-you will go through 2 layers. If
working on the Clutch Side, insert the speaker wire marked “Clutch side”,
large connector first. The sticker can be removed to fit through the hole if
needed. Take up any slack into the glove box so that wire will go along crash
bar, making sure to keep quick release plugs in the center. Using the supplied
black “gummy” material, seal the hole around the wire inside the glove box.
Step #4: Locate the angled speaker holder for the side of the bike your work-
ing on and attach it to the glove box opening using the black hardware in the
kit, through the holes made when male plugs were cut. On non-vented lowers,
3 of the 4 holes will line up and a 3/16” hole must be drilled through the
adaptor into the lower to create the 4th hole. Washers are used INSIDE the
glove box only for this step. Once the angled speaker holder is secured, rein-
stall the painted lower fairing cap.

Step #7: The red and black power wires, and the wires marked “Clutch Side”
and “Brake Side” of the lower speaker wire harness will pass under the inner
fairing where the throttle and idle and/or bikes main wire harness pass
through on the brake side of the bike. Let the Clutch Side and Brake Side wires
hang on the front side of the crash bar for now. The red and black power wires
are designed to be routed under the gas tank and across the motor mount on
the brake side of the bike, and come out just behind the gas tank. You may
need to undo the back bolt of the gas tank and pivot the tank up to allow the
harness to pass through at the back of the gas tank. Be sure to re-install this
bolt and torque to factory specs! When correctly installed, the power and
ground wires are the right length to connect onto the battery. NOTE: on 2007
and newer bikes it is much easier to run power and ground wires up and over
the gas tank, but under the chrome gas tank console.
Step #8: Attach the red wire to the positive (+) battery terminal, and the black
wire to the negative (-) battery terminal. The factory battery wires are also
re-installed at this point. Secure the amplifiers power harness to the bikes
factory harness’ along the frame and behind the tank using supplied zip ties.

PLEASE be careful!
