Other Hang-Up Clip Mounting
A customer-supplied bracket may be used to mount the microphone hang-up clip in another location.
When and where to use:
Suggested locations include the handlebars, fuel-tank console, or any location which provides easy
access to the microphone without blocking controls and indicators and without interfering with
motorcycle handling. See Figure 103: Fuel Tank Console Installation with Speaker and Control Head
Mounted Together on page 105, Figure 104: Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head
Mounted Separately on page 106, and Figure 105: Fuel Tank Console Installation with Speaker and
Control Head Mounted Separately on page 108 for alternative microphone hang-up clip mounting
methods.
Procedure:
1 Fabricate a bracket, then secure it to the motorcycle.
2 Use two machine screws, lock washers, and nuts to secure the hang-up clip to the customer-
supplied bracket. Ensure that the microphone clip is DC grounded to the motorcycle chassis (a
grounding lug and strap are provided in the hang-up clip kit for this purpose) – this is essential
for proper radio operation.

3 Place the metal liner with two round, depressed areas toward the enclosure hinge and 5/8-inch
hole near the front of the housing, inside the top cover, and align the six slots in the metal liner
with the screw holes in the top housing.
4 The metal liner of the enclosure top cover acts as a ground plane for the antenna.
5 Locate the two round, depressed areas about 3 inches in diameter in the metal liner near the
enclosure hinge. These areas are either Band 1 or Band 2 depending on the antenna port they
