4-6 Motorcycle Radio Installation: Installing the Speaker and Control Head
4.4.1 Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Together
Figure 4-2 illustrates the combination speaker/control head bracket. This combination bracket is
used only when the control head and speaker are to be mounted as a unit. Also illustrated in
Figure 4-2 is a handlebar-mounting bracket which may be required if the combination speaker/
control-head bracket cannot be easily mounted to the motorcycle. In this case the handlebar-
mounting bracket is mounted to the motorcycle, and the combination bracket is then mounted to the
handlebar-mounting bracket.
Figure 4-2. Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Together
Provision has been made on the combination speaker/control-head bracket for mounting the
microphone hang-up clip. If that mounting is desired, the hang-up clip must be attached to the
bracket before installing the control head and speaker. See
Section 4.6: “Installing the Microphone
Hang-Up Clip” on page 4-11
for the hang-up clip procedure. Install the speaker and control head as
described below.
1. Determine the location where the speaker/control head is to be mounted. Consider how the
speaker/control-head bracket may be mounted, and whether or not a handlebar-mounting
bracket is needed. Take care to select a location that is not only mechanically convenient, but
is located for ease of operation.
NOTE: The angle at which the handlebar-mounting bracket or the speaker/control-head bracket is
mounted to the motorcycle determines the firing angle of the speaker.
2. If the handlebar-mounting bracket is needed, install it first.
