Removal of the Original Head Unit

To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause death or serious injury, remove main fuse before proceeding.

1. Remove each turn indicator by removing 2 bolts for each between the forks/handlebar & inner fairing wall. Use a 1/2” open-end/box-end wrench, ratcheting  wrench, or short 1/2” socket and ratchet.
   The bolt might not unthread from the turn signal housing, however the acorn nut might instead. It will be easier to reinstall the indicator later if the bolt remains on  the indicator housing. Set the bolts &/or acorn nuts aside and tuck the indicators aside. Tip: Turn the handlebar/front wheel in the direction of the turn indicator you’re working on to increase the work area, hopefully preventing bloody knuckles & scratched paint!

2. Remove six inner fairing bolts using a T25 Torn screw driver. Two screws are adjacent to the fuel & battery voltage gauges. Two more are located at the outside  corner of each speaker grill. The last two screws are below each storage compartment hinge. Store these screws in the storage compartments for re-installation later.
   Tip: Note the length of each screw set at the top, mid-section, and lower section as the lengths may differ.

3. While straddling the front wheel fender, grasp the outer fairing & gently pull it away from the inner fairing. With the fairing slightly pulled away from the bike,  disconnect wire harness for the headlamp(s) and any other accessories. Lay the fairing on a protected flat surface to prevent damage.

4. Disconnect all wire harnesses from the OEM radio. Use a pry tool, flat-head screwdriver, or pick tool to lift up on the locking tab, then pull the male connector out  from the female connector. Also, unplug the FM antenna & disconnect the CB antenna (if equipped). If the OEM Sirius tuner is installed, disconnect & remove its antenna, it will not be used.

5. Remove the OEM head unit by removing 4 screws from the head unit support bracket. Use a 3/16” hex/Allen key tool to remove 2 screws from each side. Set these four screws aside for reinstallation.

6. Gently pull the OEM radio out and up, away from the support bracket. No other parts from the OEM radio are needed.

7. Take a moment to clean the surfaces of the inner fairing surrounding the cutout for the radio & around the ovalized recess using a damp micro-fiber cloth. Any  debris or residue left on these surfaces can affect the water-tight seal around HDHU.9813RG.

Installation of HDHU.9813RG Head Unit

1. Route the USB cable, antenna extension, & RCA camera input w/ trigger into the cutout of the inner faring. Pull the chassis of the HDHU.9813RG thru the  ovalized recess, aligning the mounting screw holes with the holes of the head unit support bracket.

2. Secure HDHU.9813RG to the radio support bracket with the 4 screws set aside during removal of the original head unit (step 5) using the same hex/Allan key tool.

3. Insert and lock the male OEM head unit wire harness connector to the female socket of the included wire harness. Then, insert and lock the male connector of the  included wire harness into the corresponding female socket on the back of HDHU.9813RG. Swivel the latch into place, locking the male connector into the female
   receptacle.

4. Empty the contents of the storage compartment you wish to have the USB connector in. Drill a 1” hole in the middle/center of the storage compartment & liner  using a 1” spade bit or step bit. Route the USB cable to the back of the storage compartment & into it. Firmly press the rubber grommet into place.

5. Connect the FM radio antenna to the female receptacle extension, and any accessory added to this installation: Sirius tuner, Bluetooth calling microphone,  camera video-in & trigger, amplifier audio RCA’s etc. The wire harness of HDHU.9813RG also includes a blue remote turn-on wire for amplifier(s). 

6. Take a moment to reinstall the main fuse if it was removed. At this point, HDHU.9813RG should turron. Verify all speakers are playing and the head unit is  functioning. If successful, tie any loose wires that might impede reinstallation of the fairing.

7. Reassemble the outer fairing to the inner fairing by following the disassembly steps in reverse: Connect headlight wire harnesses & close the fairings together  Reattach outer fairing to inner fairing using the six screws removed previously  Tuck turn indicator wiring inside the fairing, reattach the turn indicator acorn  nuts/bolts
