FLH Side Plate Installation Instructions - Cont. 4. Preparing the Plate for the Amp: The kit comes with self-adhesive "hook and loop" material. Separate this so you have 2 pieces. If your amplifier does not already have hook and loop material applied, one of the pieces will be applied to the underside of the amp. Making sure you use the opposite material to what is on the underside of the amp (refer to Fig 1.3). cut the remaining piece of hook and loop material so you have 2 smaller pieces close to the size of the metal areas highlighted by white rectangles. Apply the pieces just cut to the correct sections on the plate. 5. Attaching the Amplifier to the Plate: If you are installing a KENWOOD XM160-2, the amp will "stick" to the plate as shown (see the white circle in Fig 1.4). The "top" and left "end" of the amp must be flush to the "top" and left "end" of the plate or the amp will not fit. NOTE: It is CRITICAL that the "amplified pigtail" of the amp be on the speaker side of the cabinet as shown in Fig 1.4. In the kit is a 14" long "zip tie" which will wrap around the plate and around the amp. Tighten the "zip tie" so it's snug only. The zip tie is on there as a backup in the unlikely event the hook and loop adhesive fails. Figure 1.3 - Plate Correctly Placed Figure 1.4 - Amp Correctly Placed 6. Placing the Amp and Cabinet into the Bike: As shown in Fig 1.4, the "amplified pigtail" on the amp needs to be positioned over the top of the amp. If you do not do this now, you will not have access to this plug when wiring the amp. The cabinet/amplifier assembly will now go in the bike as one unit. Some "finesse" will need to be shown, but this will go without forcing anything. With the cabinet assembly in place, reinstall all 8 fasteners and secure the speaker cabinet to the bike and then proceed with wiring the amplifier. 3
