Front Speaker/Installation:
Step #1: On the brake side speaker cabinet, carefully remove the cable going into the
power port/cigarette lighter assembly. If your bike has the CB module (mounted
“sideways” on the clutch side cabinet) undo the antenna cable and main harness. The
CB Module will stay attached to the clutch side cabinet when removed. Undo the
speaker wire plugs going into each cabinet (pink & pink with black stripe wires).
Step #2: Removing the Factory Cabinets: It is STRONGLY suggested to COMPLETE the
brake side speaker swap before moving to the clutch side! Figure 1.1 and 1.2 (below)
have arrows that point to all 8 factory fasteners (per side) that will be removed to
allow each cabinet to come out of the bike. Although the brake side is shown below, all
8 fastener locations are common for both brake and clutch side cabinets. In Fig 1.1 you
will see where the speaker wire exits the cabinets. The 3 cabinet fasteners below the
speaker wire are 7/16” heads that will also accept a 3/16” allen head. A “ratcheting box
end” or “ball end” allen wrench will make removing these 3 fasteners much easier!

Step #3 With the cabinet removed from the bike, undo the 4 screws that hold the
factory speaker to the cabinet and put these screws aside. Pull the factory speaker
away from the cabinet and carefully take off each speaker wire by un-doing one at a
time. Take a WBC 1654 FRONT speaker, and attach the speaker wires noting the
factory speaker wire connectors will lock into place on the speaker. Sit the
speaker into the cabinet noting the speaker MUST be oriented so that the wires are
in the bottom (6 o’clock) position so the speaker frame will not touch the small
locator peg that sticks out from the face of the cabinet. If the speaker is not placed
correctly, the speaker may not “seal” correctly to the cabinet and the bass response
will be terrible! Using the supplied screws (which are longer than the factory
screws), attach the new speaker to the cabinet. Re-install the front speaker/
cabinet assembly back into the brake side of the bike.
