Section 5 - Routing The Wires In The Saddlebag
NOTE: Included in the kit are adhesive "pads" that when attached, have a provision to
secure the wires in place using the supplied zip-ties. Half of the supplied zip-ties and half
the supplied pads are for one saddlebag, while the other half are for the other saddlebag.
We suggest performing a "ghost run" of placing the wires before applying any adhesives.
1. Locate the long main lid harness and unplug the two shorter extensions that come
off one end. These extension wires are labeled "clutch side" and "brake side". Attach these
wires to the appropriate 6 x 9 speaker, noting they will only go on one way. If the speakers
you are using have different size spade terminals, you may cut off and attach your own
terminals to the wires, noting that the wire with the smaller terminal is the positive wire.
2. For the ghost run, have the wire from your 6 x 9 go straight to the bag (just in front of
the new tether) and "fold" the wire so it will naturally want to go straight down. Leave a
little slack between the lid and bag to give a little "wiggle room" for when the lid opens
and closes. Have the wire go straight down to the bottom of the bag and do another fold
so the wire wants to point to the outside back of the saddlebag.
3. Next, do another fold to point the wire to the inside back of the saddle bag and then
one more fold to point the wire forward along the bottom of the bag.
4. Directly below the point where you drilled the hole for the grommet, do another fold
so the wire goes straight up to the hole. When done correctly, the black 2-pin plug can go
through the grommet hole and hang out approximately 4" (10cm).
NOTE: Once you are satisfied that the wires are "ghost" ran as instructed, you need to plan
where the adhesive pads will go so that the supplied zip ties will secure the wires inside
the bag.
5. Before applying the pads you need to clean the plastic well using a mild cleaner such
as 99% Isopropyl alcohol, but nothing aggressive like Acetone, as Acetone will destroy the
lid. With the pads in place, secure the wires in place using supplied zip ties.
Section 6 - Routing The Speaker Wire Harness
NOTE: The supplied long harness with 4 wires has two 2-pin plugs on one end, and a
single 4-pin plug on the other. In all cases, the end with the 4-pin plug will go nearest the
amplifier you're using which typically will be your fairing.
