Fairing Lower Speaker Kit Installation
Step #1: Remove access covers from the glove boxes. Using a cutting tool
such as side cutters, the 4 male parts each access panel snaps into will be
cut and removed. Cutting them from inside the glove box will eliminate
marks on the front of the glove box. When cut, parts may “fly” so please be
careful and wear eye protection! On non vented lowers (up to and includ-
ing 2004 models), the plastic trim bezel the 4 male plugs sit “in” must also
be removed.

Step #2: Looking inside the glove box, locate the 2 nuts at the back of the
glove boxes, and remove. This will release the painted lower fairing “cap”
so be careful it doesn't fall and get scratched!! Remove and put aside.
Step #3: Looking from the front side of lower, locate the flat plane approx.
1” towards the motor, directly across from the lower bolt hole for the fair-
ing cap just removed. Drill a 1/8”(3mm) pilot hole in the center of this
plane, then a final 5/16”(8mm) hole-you will go through 2 layers. If work-
ing on Clutch Side, pass speaker wire marked “Clutch side” into glove box,
large connector first. The sticker can be removed to fit through the hole if
needed. Pull up any slack into the glove box so that wire will go along crash
bar, making sure to keep quick release plugs in the center. Using the sup-
plied black “gummy” material, seal the hole around the wire inside the
glove box. Move to Step #4.
Step #3a: Remove the “cap” on the front of the fairing lower held on with
Phillips screws. Directly under the bottom of the clamp that holds the fair-
ing lower to the crash bar is a flat plane. Drill a 1/8”(3mm) pilot hole in the
center of this plane, then a final 5/16” (8mm) hole-you will go through 2
layers. If working on the Clutch Side, insert the speaker wire marked
“Clutch side”, large connector first. The sticker can be removed to fit
through the hole if needed. Take up any slack into the glove box so that
wire will go along crash bar, making sure to keep quick release plugs in the
center. Using the supplied black “gummy” material, seal the hole around
the wire inside the glove box.
Step #4: Locate the angled speaker holder for the side of the bike your
working on and attach it to the glove box opening using the black hardware
in the kit, through the holes made when male plugs were cut. On non-
vented lowers, 3 of the 4 holes will line up and a 3/16” hole must be drilled
to expose the 4th hole. Washers are used INSIDE the glove box only for this
step. Once the angled speaker holder is secured, reinstall the painted lower
fairing cap. Take a speaker and attach the speaker wires.

Step #3: Locate the green/black pair of wires with the male connectors. Un
plug the factory speaker wires on the brake side of the bike and plug the
green/black wires in to those. Locate the blue/black pair of wires and plug
them directly onto the brake side speaker.
Step #4: The orange wire 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.
Step #5: The red and black wires, and the wires marked “Clutch Side” and
“Brake Side” of the main wire harness will pass under the inner fairing
where the throttle and idle and/or bikes main wire harness pass through on
the brake side of the bike. Let the Clutch Side and Brake Side wires hang
on the front side of the crash bar for now. The red and black wires are de-
signed to be routed under the gas tank and across the motor mount 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! When correctly installed, the power
and ground wires are the right length to connect onto the battery.
NOTE: on 07 and newer bikes it is much easier to run power and ground
wires up and over the gas tank, but under the chrome gas tank console!
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. Secure the FLSK/AMP harness to the
bikes factory harness’ along the frame and behind the tank using supplied
zip ties.
