Installation Instructions for FATBOY/Softail 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 socket 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.
Crimp-on connector terminals are supplied for the three power wires. The two ring
terminals are for the battery posts.
