Installation Instructions for FREE WHEELER 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: tech@hoppeindustries.com 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.
-
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 head 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.
- Do not attempt to install your fairing or use it with the bike’s stock rubber bushings!!!
-
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.
You will need one of these part numbers from your Harley dealer:
2015-2016 Electrical Connection kit needed is part #69200722
2017 Electrical Connection kit needed is part # 69201599
VIOLET/BLUE GOES TO THE POWER CORD ORANGE
RED/BLUE GOES TO THE POWER CORD RED
BLACK GOES TO THE POWER CORD BLACK -
Position the windshield in place, and start the windshield screws from the outside, with a stainless washer on each screw. On the inside, place a chromed acorn nut and chromed washer on each screw, placing a drop of Loctite inside each nut. Placing the Loctite in the nut will help prevent it dripping on painted surfaces or the windshield itself, as Loctite will attack some plastics and paints. Tighten the windshield screws finger-tight. Snug the windshield nuts to about 15-20 inch pounds, just enough to not flex the fiberglass flanges into the slots and holes in the shield. The Loctite will keep them from coming loose. After paint, use the Loctite on the 6 screws that hold the front & inner fairing halves together, and do not over tighten.
__Important safety information-please read!!!_____
Any modification like adding a fairing, extended controls, different
handlebars, etc., will have an effect on your bike’s handling. That doesn’t
mean bad, just different. Take some time to get
to know your bike after installing your fairing. The decreased wind felt by
the use of a fairing can affect your perception of speed, leading you to
possibly drive faster than you are aware of. Crosswinds and passing large
vehicles will have an effect because of the larger front surface area.
Handling in parking lots may feel slower.
Last but definitely not least – take the time BEFORE your first ride to become familiar with your new radio’s controls. Set the preset channel buttons, adjust the volume and tone, and know how to turn it off & on without having to take your eyes off the road. Your new fairing will give you miles of smiles and get you there less fatigued-but not if you plow into something while playing with the radio!!!!!!
Note: Your stereo includes a CD player. The player may skip due to the angle of the stereo in the fairing. Don’t watch any videos while riding.
