Installation Instructions for FREE WHEELER QUADZILLA Fairing w/4 Speakers
Your new fairing has been shipped with all the necessary hardware for a basic installation. If you
have any questions after reading the information in this sheet, please contact Hoppe at:
[e-mail] or call us. Please read all the way through the instructions before
starting the installation, as five minutes spent now may save you many times that later.
Before you start:
Please note that some inside areas of the fairing front are visible when the fairing is
assembled. It is important that you let your painter know to paint the inner edge for at least
1” when they paint the front so that no primer is left showing.
While your new fairing front is being painted, you can set aside the windshield and mount the
inner portion, including the power cord.
1) To prepare the bike for mounting the inner, you will have to replace the (4) rubber bushings
currently holding your Harley quick-detach windshield, using the (8) stainless bushings that came
with your new fairing. Safety warning - Do not attempt to install your fairing or use it with
the bike’s stock rubber bushings!!!
The stainless bushings are used in sets, two stepped spacers per set as shown.
Remove the hex head cap screws (one at a time) holding the spotlamp assembly,
and remove the rubber bushings. The bushings go on each stud where the rubber
bushings were, reusing the original hardware. Reinstall the spots, and using the
Loctite supplied, reinstall the socket head cap screws until they just begin to snug
up, and then loosen each one about 1½-2 turns. This will allow you to slide the
fairing into place on the bike. Attach the power cord to the fairing, and lock it in
place with a ¼ turn of the locking ring. Start the bottom of the fairing brackets into
the gap between the bottom spacer halves, lowering it until you can get the top slots
of the brackets to go into the top spacers. The fairing should now be able to be
tilted back towards the bike and then dropped down another ½” or so to bottom out in the bracket
slots. To check that it has fully locked in place, try pulling forward on the fairing. Unlike the
stock windshield, the fairing should NOT be able to swivel forward if fully inserted into position.
Retighten the four acorn nuts to their original torque to hold the fairing firmly in place. Safety
warning -Never operate the bike without the acorn nuts being tight, regardless of the
fairing, original shield, or no shield being installed!!! You can still run with the original shield
or none at all; just loosen the nuts 1½ turns to remove the fairing or shield and retighten them
before riding.
2) Route the power cord under the gas tank and through to the battery area. Leave enough cord so
it doesn’t get pulled tight in a full turn to either side, but don’t have so much of a loop that it can
get caught on anything.
