Figure 102: 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 Microphone Hang-Up Clip on page 73 for the hang-
up clip procedure.
5.4.1.1
Installing Handlebar with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Together
Follow the procedure to install the speaker and control head.
Procedure:
1 Determine the location to mount the speaker/control head. Consider how the speaker/control-
head bracket may be mounted, and whether a handlebar-mounting bracket is needed. Select a
location that is not only mechanically convenient, but is located for ease of operation.
NOTICE: 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.
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, lock washers, 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 lock
washers. 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, lock washers, and flat
washers.
8 Adjust the control head viewing angle by loosening its mounting screws and rotating the control
head to the desired angle. Re-tighten the screws to 20 in-lbs torque.
