Its time to route the wires in the saddlebag. Please do a “ghost run” of
placing the wires before applying any adhesives. This will help, trust us!
Locate the long supplied wire harnesses noting they are labeled brake side
and clutch side. Attach the “wire end” to your 6x9 using your own
connectors that fit correctly-noting the wire that comes from us with the
smaller connector is the positive. For the ghost run, have the wire from your
6x9 go straight to the bag, and “fold” the wire so it will naturally want to go
straight down. Leave a little slack between the lid and bag to give a little
“wiggle room” for when the lid opens and closes. Have the wire go straight
down to the bottom of the bag and do another fold so the wire wants to point
to the outside back of the saddlebag. Once there, do another fold to point the
wire to the inside back of the saddle bag. Another fold to point the wire
forward along the bottom of the bag, and directly below the point where you
drilled the hole for the grommet, do another fold so the wire goes straight up
to the hole. When done correctly, the black 2 pin plug can go through the
grommet hole, and hang out approximately 4” (10cm)
Once you’re satisfied the wires are ghost run as instructed, you will want to
plan where the adhesive pads will go, so that zip ties can secure the wires
inside the bag. Note: Before applying the pads, you need to clean the plastic
well using 99% isopropyl alcohol, or similar cleaner. DO NOT use Acetone
(It will eat plastic). Do not apply pads until cleaner is completely evaporated.
With the pads in place, secure the wires in place using supplied zip ties.
Routing the speaker wire harness:
The long supplied harness with 4 wires has 2-2 pin plugs on one end, and a
single 4 pin plug on the other. In all cases, the end with the 4 pin plug will go
nearest the amp you’re using which typically will be your fairing.
For FLH (Batwing) Models. The harness will pass under the inner fairing
where the main wire harness passes through on the brake side of the bike.
For FLTR (Road Glide) Models, the harness will pass through the inner fairing
where the factory wires pass. Loosen the tank console and run wires up and
over the gas tank, but under the tank console. There is a provision on the
front of the tank console for wires to pass. Note: You “can” lift the tank if
you want but it is not required. Once past the battery, the harness will
continue towards the back of the bike along the frame, and when correctly
installed, the 2-2pin plugs will be beside the back seat on the brake side of
the bike. Secure the harness to the bikes factory harness’ using zip ties. Plug
the brake side lid in. Run the clutch side under the seat and plug it in.
