6.5" Air Cooled Lower Fairing Speaker Adaptors Installation - Cont. 7. Mount the lower fairings back to the bike but leave the painted caps off for now. 8. From the back side of each lower fairing, you can now take up the extra wire. Make it so the wires aren't "too loose" or "too tight" (ensuring to leave enough wire in the pod for the speaker to easily be plugged in and removed). The kit comes with strips of black gummy material. Use this like a putty to hold the wire in place and seal up the hole drilled earlier. 9. Take the 4-wire section of the lower harness and plug it into the wires coming out of each lower fairing, noting they will only go together one way. The rest of the harness will work its way up to the inside of the fairing. If you are using the KENWOOD XM160-2 amp, the 4-pin plug will go directly to it. If you are using a different brand of amplifier, the blue/ black is the brake side, and the brown/black is the clutch side (note that the black wires are the positive (+)). 10. Re-install the painted caps. NOTE: Now is the best time to use zip ties to properly secure and "clean up" any wiring. It's always a good idea to remove excess from the zip ties by cutting them as close to flush as possible so there are no sharp edges. Before re-installing the outer fairing, turn the front wheel to each extreme side, making sure any wiring is not impeding the steering of the motorcycle. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death! 11. Take the speakers you will install and plug the speakers in (black wire is the positive (+)). Secure the speakers to the lower fairings using the supplied machine screws. NOTE: The "nutserts" molded into the lower fairings are brass, which is a soft material. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS AND DO NOT USE A "THREAD LOCKING MATERIAL" OF ANY KIND. A hand screwdriver is suggested for this step. 3
