Step #2: Locate the power harness for the amplifier. One end has ring terminals
and a fuse, and the other has a 2 pin connector. Using Fig 1.1 on Page
6 for reference, to run the “ring terminal end” of the power harness
through “B”. We need it so the 2 pin power connector is accessible in
the inner fairing and the slack can be adjusted later in the installation.
Just in front of the tank, there is a structure that attaches the fairing to
the frame of the bike. The power harness will pass through this structure
and exit through the rectangular opening where the factory harness also
exits the structure on the BRAKE side of the bike. Note: it can be easier
to pass the wire harness through the rectangular opening if you “open”
the fuse holder and remove the fuse before passing the wire harness.
Loosen the tank’s “chrome console” and run wires up and over the gas
tank, but under the tank’s chrome console. There is a provision on the
front of the tank console for wires to pass.
NOTE: Although not necessary, the power harness can go under the gas tank if
you choose to remove and re-install the tank.
With the power and ground wires in the vicinity of the battery, move to step #3
WITHOUT connecting amp wires to battery.
Step #3: Locate the “audio in” harness and plug its 8 pin white plug into “audio
in” on the side of the amp. Locate the amp’s “front out” harness and
plug it into the 4 pin BLACK pigtail coming out of the side of the amp.
Note: There is a 3 position switch on the side of the amplifier. For all typical
installs, this should be in the “+3” position. The switch allows you to “tune” the
amp in relation to other speakers and/or amps on the bikes if they are added.
Step #4: Using Fig 1.1 on page 6 for reference, locate the 4 bolts around “B”
and remove the top left and top right bolts (only). Also using Fig 1.1
on page 6 for reference, there are 2 large factory harnesses between
“A” and “B”. You will have to wiggle the amp on the plate into place
around these harnesses so that the holes on the “legs” at the bottom of
the plate line up with the holes where the factory bolts around “B” were.
With the plate in position, reinstall the factory bolts around “B” which
will secure the amp on its plate to the bike.
