There is a black rubber “foot” in the kit. On 2006+ Ultras, the CB module is mounted on
top of the radio on the clutch side. The foot is used to fill the void next to the CB, so when
installed, the amplifier has ample support. On 1998-2005 bikes, or 2006+ bikes with the
CB and XM modules, or 2006 bikes with the CB removed, the foot is not used. See the 4
options below, and pick the one for your bike to prepare the amp to be installed in place.
Review the 4 options below, and pick the option best suited for your bike to
prepare the amp to be installed in place.
1)
If you have an 06+ Ultra with the CB as shown in Diagram 1.1
, the foot
will be installed using supplied screws to the 2 holes on the bottom of the “brake side”
of the amplifier. The foot has an angle cut in it so it will clear the outer fairing going
back on. Make sure the angled portion of the foot sits adjacent to the angled part of
the amp. Place one side of the supplied “hook and loop” adhesive on the CB Module,
trimming it to fit if you like, and the other side of the “hook and loop” adhesive on the
underside of the amplifier. Place the small piece of “hook and loop” adhesive between
the screw holes on the underside of the foot. This helps the amp sit level when properly
installed. Please note that most adhesives work best at room temperature or higher and
on clean surfaces. Put the amp in place. There is an “overhang” built into the foot. The
amp is far enough back when the overhang meets the back of the radio.
2)
If you have an 06+ with the CB AND XM Module , or a 98-05 Ultra
. place
one side of the supplied “hook and loop” across the CB Module,/XM Module or across
the top of the 98-05 radio, and the other side of the “hook and loop” adhesive on the
underside of the amplifier. Please note that most adhesives work best at room tempera-
ture or higher and on clean surfaces. Put the amp in place so the back of the amp is as
close to the back of the speedo/tach as possible, or the outer fairing will not go back
on.
3)
If you have a 2006+ with no CB (or XM) module
you will notice a “bump that
runs from the front to the back of the radio in the center. Take one side of the hook and
loop adhesive, cut it in half, and place each half on either side of the bump. Place the
other side of the “hook and loop” adhesive on the underside of the amp. Please note
that most adhesives work best at room temperature or higher and on clean surfaces. Put
the amp in place so the back of the amp is as close to the back of the speedo/tach as
possible, or the outer fairing will not go back on.
4)
If you have a Road Glide.
You will mount the amp using the instructions that came
in your RG 40.4 Adaptor Kit. Once the amp is in place with the harnesses all plugged
into the amp, you can move to the next step.
Note: If wiring to speakers other than Hogtunes, the smaller
connector on Hogtunes products is always positive (+)
AMP PREPARATION
WIRING THE AMPLIFIER
6
Step #1: With amplifier in place, take the yellow/black wires on the input connector of
the amplifier, and plug them into the front factory speaker wires on the clutch
side of the bike. They will only go in one way. Take the brown/black wires on
the “front out” connector and plug them into the front clutch side speaker.
Step #2: Take the green/black wires on the input connector and plug them into the front
factory speaker wires on the brake side of the bike. Take the blue/black on the
front out plug, and plug them into the brake side front speaker.
The orange wire on the power harness is the “remote turn on lead” and tells the
amp to turn on whenever it sees +12v (.5 amp min.). Unplug the center wire (+)
on the cigarette lighter. Plug the orange lead from the amplifier directly onto the
lighter using the female connector. Plug the factory lighter wire to the male “take
off” connector which is part of the amps orange turn on lead.
ROUTING THE POWER WIRE HARNESS
Step #1: The power/ground harness and rear harness (if used) will pass together under
the inner fairing where the main wire harness passes through on the brake side
of the bike. Loosen the tanks “chrome console” and run wires up and over the
gas tank, but under the tanks chrome console. There is a provision on the front
of the tank console for wires to pass.

When correctly installed, the power and ground wires are the right length to connect to the
battery, and if used, the rear wire 8 pin harness is the right length to be zip-tied to the clutch
side fender strut. Be sure to run the 8 pin harness
UNDER
the air line for the clutch side
rear shock.
