COMPONENT MOUNTING
USING VELCRO
®
AS A MOUNTING METHOD HAS THE FOLLOWING ADVANTAGES; IT HOLDS WELL UNDER EXTREME
VIBRATION CONDITIONS, PROVIDES SOME MEASURE OF SHOCK ABSORPTION, AND ALLOWS FOR SIMPLE INSTALLATION,
REMOVAL, AND ADJUSTMENT. HOWEVER, ONCE YOU STICK THOSE TWO SIDES TOGETHER WITH SOME PRESSURE, YOU’D
DO WELL TO USE A PUTTY KNIFE SEPARATING THE TWO AGAIN. USING A PIECE OF PAPER OR THIN CARDBOARD BETWEEN
THE 2 PIECES OF VELCRO WHEN TEST FITTING CAN MAKE THINGS A LOT EASIER.
NOTE: BE SURE TO CLEAN ALL ADHESIVE MATING SURFACES WITH THE INCLUDED ALCOHOL PADS BEFORE ATTACHING
THE ADHESIVE VELCRO
®
PATCHES. ONCE THE ADHESIVE SIDE IS APPLIED TO A CLEAN SURFACE, WORK OUT THE AIR
POCKETS WITH YOUR FINGER TIPS FOR MAXIMUM HOLDING STRENGTH AND LONGEVITY.

DETERMINE THE MOUNTING LOCATION FOR THE AMPLIFIER BASED ON YOUR FAIRING:
5.1.
BATWING FAIRINGS
MOUNT THE MAIN AMPLIFIER (A) ON TOP OF THE
SOURCE UNIT USING ONE OF THESE METHODS:
2005 AND OLDER - USE THE LARGE VELCRO® PATCH
PROVIDED.
2006 AND NEWER - CUT THE LARGE VELCRO® PATCH IN
HALF AND CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE METHOD BELOW:
WITH BOTH FACTORY XM AND CB MODULES INSTALLED ABOVE THE SOURCE UNIT, USE THE TWO PATCH
HALVES, ONE ON EACH MODULE.
WITH NO FACTORY MODULES INSTALLED ABOVE THE SOURCE UNIT, USE THE TWO PATCH HALVES, ONE ON
EACH SIDE OF THE RIB RUNNING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE SOURCE UNIT.
WITH ONLY ONE FACTORY MODULE INSTALLED ABOVE THE SOURCE UNIT, INSTALL THE HKA150 ADAPTER
BRACKET (SOLD SEPARATELY) IN THE BLANK MODULE SLOT, AND THEN USE THE TWO PATCH HALVES, ONE
ON EACH MODULE.
REMOVE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT FACTORY SPEAKER BRACES AND INSTALL THE SATELLITE
BRACKET TO THE INNER FAIRING BRACE ON EITHER
SIDE REUSING THE FACTORY HARDWARE. MOUNT THE
SATELLITE AMPLIFIER (B) TO THE BRACKET USING THE
SMALL VELCRO
®
PATCH PROVIDED.
5.2.
SHARKNOSE FAIRINGS
MOUNT THE MAIN AMPLIFIER (A) ON THE FLAT SPACE
BENEATH THE GLOVE BOX USING THE LARGE VELCRO
®
PATCH PROVIDED. MOUNT THE SATELLITE AMPLIFIER
(B); IN FRONT OF MAIN AMPLIFIER USING THE SMALL
VELCRO
®
PATCH PROVIDED.
5.3.
CUSTOM INSTALLS – MOUNTING LOCATIONS CAN VARY, AND MUST BE TEST FIT ON A ONE-
BY-ONE BASIS. CHECK FOR PROPER CLEARANCES BEFORE CONTINUING WITH THE
INSTALLATION. THE WIRING KIT MAY NOT INCLUDE LONG ENOUGH WIRING NEEDED TO
COMPLETE SOME CUSTOM INSTALLATIONS.
FOR ALL “TOP OF THE SOURCE UNIT” INSTALLATIONS, ENSURE THAT THE MAIN AMPLIFIER IS POSITIONED AS FAR BACK
TOWARDS THE INNER FAIRING AS POSSIBLE.
