7. Secure the number 2 bracket in place using the locking nut removed in step 5.
8. Place the flat speed nut (provided) onto the end of the mounting bracket.
IMPORTANT: The speed nut should be positioned on the bracket end so that the flat side is
facing outward. See Fig. 9.
INSTALLING HIDEAWAY BLAST INTO THE HORN HOUSING
9. Face the horn housing downward onto a soft shop towel to prevent scratching.
10. Remove the two 3/8 bolts that secure the hanger bracket to the horn housing. See Fig. 10.
11. The bracket can be now separated from the horn housing.
12. Route the horn’s black flex tubing containing the air hose and two relay wires through the bottom
of the horn housing, exiting out of the housing through the top. See Fig. 11 & 12.
13. Push the horn into housing, keeping the horns mounting bracket centered.
IMPORTANT: If the
fit of the horn into the housing is too tight, there are three simple procedures to try that will help
get the horn to slide into the housing.
A. With the horn housing facing downward, grab the left and right side walls of the housing and
bend slightly outward. You should now be able to slide the horn into the horn housing. See
Fig. 13.
B. Remove the black circular sound chamber cover by holding the edge and pulling. You should
now be able to slide the horn into the horn housing. Place the sound chamber cover back onto
the horn. See Fig. 14.
C. If there is a factory speed nut on the horn housing bracket, bottom hole, remove it and
discard. You should now be able to slide the horn into the horn housing.
IMPORTANT:
Position the flat speed nut (provided) so the flat side is visible when placed onto the bracket.
Place the speed nut (provided) onto the horn housing bracket, bottom hole. Position so that
the flat side is facing outward. See Fig. 15.
14. There are two bolts provided that secure the hanging bracket to the horn housing.
NOTE: The
bolts have a shoulder washer and they are different lengths. The long bolt should be positioned
in the hanging bracket’s top hole. The short bolt should be positioned in the bottom hole. See
Fig. 16.
15. Align the horn’s bracket with the housing bracket and the hanging bracket, secure with long bolt.
CAUTION: Do not fully tighten until the bottom bolt is in place. See Fig. 17.
16. Align the hanging bracket’s bottom hole with the horn housing bracket and secure with short
bolt. Make sure both bolts are fully tightened. See Fig. 17.
17. Connect the Hideaway Blast’s two black relay wires to motorcycle’s factory horn wires that were
separated from the factory horn in step 4.
NOTE: The Hideaway Blast has a male insulated
terminal on the end of each wire. The terminals are exact mates to your motorcycle’s horn wire
terminals.
IMPORTANT: It does not make a difference which factory horn wire connects to the
relay wires. See Fig. 18.
MOUNTING THE HORN HOUSING BACK ON THE MOTORCYCLE
18. Place the horn housing back onto the motorcycle’s screw stud and secure with the nut removed
in step number 1.
19. Most installations will require the installer to remove the seat from the motorcycle for routing the
black flexible tubing and to gain access to the battery.
20. Route the black flexible tubing to the left side saddle bag. Position the flexible tubing so that it
is hidden from view. Provided with the kit are black plastic ties to secure the flexible tubing to
the frame of the motorcycle.
IMPORTANT: The plastic ties should not be used until the install is
completed.
