Step #5:
Routing the power harness - For Road Glide or Road Glide Ultra
On the brake side of the bike, in front of the gas tank, on the side of
the frames backbone, you will see a rectangular opening where a large
wire harness, (and throttle/idle cables on 98-07 bikes) pass through
from the fairing side of the bike. The red and black wires for the amp
will pass from the fairing side through the large opening under the radio,
and through the rectangular opening. Take the rubber cover off the fuse
holder, and remove the fuse, the fuse holder will pass through the rectan-
gular opening much easier. Be sure to replace the fuse!! “Fishing” a small
piece of wire through this opening first, taping the red and black wires
to the fish, and then using the fish to feed the wires through may reduce
install time! The harness is designed to be routed between the frame
backbone and gas tank 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!
For 07+ bikes, 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. Secure the amplifiers harness to the
bikes factory harness’ using zip ties. Proceed to Step #6.
Step #6: 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. Turn the ignition of the bike to the “on” position
and play the stereo at low volume to verify the amplifier is working fine.
IMPORTANT: With all wires secured, turn the front wheel to each
extreme side, making sure that any wires cannot bind or impede
the steering of the motorcycle. Failure to do so can cause an
accident resulting in serious injury or death!
On the side of the amplifier is the amp level switch. The switch has 3 positions la-
beled -3, 0, and +3. If only 2 speakers are used, put the amp to the +3 position. If
the expansion port has been used to power additional speakers, use the switch to
set the “balance” between the amplified fairing speakers, and additional speaker
powered by the radios built in power. If you have a dual amp system, you can use
the switches on each amp to balance the level of sound to each set of speakers as
a means to tailor the sound to your liking. In a multi amplifier system, this gives you
AWESOME flexibility!
Last but not least—please go back to page 3 and read the “adjusting your system”
section. You just spent a bunch of time getting the amp in so please take a minute
and adjust your system so it works as well as we know it should!
