Motorcycle Radio Installation: Installing the Speaker and Control Head 4-7
3. Mount the speaker/control-head bracket, either directly to the motorcycle, or, if used, to the
handlebar-mounting bracket, using four stainless-steel machine screws, lockwashers, and
nuts.
4. Mount the 9-pin D-connector end of the motorcycle control-head cable to the speaker/control-
head bracket, using two machine screws, flat washers, and nuts. (Cable routing directions
appear later in this section.)
5. Mount the speaker on the speaker/control-head bracket, using two machine screws and
lockwashers. Torque these screws to 20 in.-lbs.
6. Attach the control-head cable to the control head and tighten the locking screws on the
connector. This connection must be made before you mount the control head in the bracket.
(Cable routing directions appear later in this section.)
7. Mount the control head to the bracket, using two machine screws, lockwashers, and flat
washers.
8. Adjust the control head viewing angle by loosening its mounting screws and rotating the
control head to the desired angle. Then, retighten screws to 20 in.-lbs torque. This concludes
the speaker/control-head installation.
4.4.2 Fuel Tank Console Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted
Together
Some motorcycles provide a console for mounting radio equipment. This console is attached to the
top of the fuel tank. With the use of a mounting bracket, screws, nuts, and lockwashers, the
combination speaker/control-head bracket can be mounted to this console.
Figure 4-3 illustrates this
type of mounting.
The console attachment screws must be removed, and the console must be lifted slightly from the
fuel tank to gain access in order to attach mounting hardware, and to route cables later.
In this installation, the microphone (mic), mic hang-up bracket, and mic extension bracket will
interfere with handlebar travel.
Installation using this method is the same as in Section 4.4.1: “Handlebar Installation with Speaker
and Control Head Mounted Together” on page 4-6.
