Section 3 - Preparing The New Lid - Cont.
4. Locate the tether that came with your new kit. The metal bar that was removed from
the factory tether will need to be inserted into the new tether at the appropriate end.
There is a shorter metal bar in your kit that will go in the shorter end of the new tether.
Once done, using the 4 screws removed from the factory tether, secure the new tether to
the lid/bag.
NOTE: Each kit comes with 4
new "striker plates" (Fig 1.6)
that will be applied on the
outside of the lid. Use your
factory lids as a reference for
how and where these will
go.
Figure 1.6
5. Clean the area of the lid where the striker plates will be applied with isopropyl alcohol.
6. Once the alcohol has fully evaporated, "stick" the plates in place.
NOTE: Let the striker plate's adhesive "set" for a minimum of 8 hours at room temperature
or higher with no pressure on them. You can close the lids, but don't "latch" them closed or
leave them off the bike.
Section 4 - Mounting The Speakers
Locate the black "gummy" material supplied in the kit and use it to seal the hole shown in
Fig 1.5 by the white rectangle. The 4 white circles in Fig 1.5 shows "locators" built into the
lid to fit the KENWOOD XM69R speakers when used. Use the supplied 6 x 9 gasket (which
is approximately 3/8" (9mm) thick) as a "shim" between the speakers and the lid. Locate
the bag that came with your kit that has 8 Phillips head screws and use those (4 per lid) to
secure your speaker to the lid. USE HAND TOOLS FOR THIS.
