Cutting The Saddlebag Lid
-
Remove the saddlebags from the motorcycle and set on a convenient, protected working surface.
-
Tape-off the front & sides of the saddlebag lids with masking tape, to avoid scratching any painted surfaces.
Tip: Consider removing the lid from the saddlebag if working in a smaller or elevated workspace. -
Set the provided cut template on each saddlebag lid. While firmly holding the template in place, trace the cutout lines onto the masking tape.
Tip: If the template is difficult to hold while tracing the cut-out lines, it can be attached to the lid. Two screw holes are provided on the top face of each template. Secure it to the lid by pre-drilling each hole with a 1/8” drill bit, then use the two fine-point screws provided to attach the template to each lid. -
Remove the soft hinge from the lid side by unscrewing the two T25 Torx screws.
-
Following the traced cut-out lines, cut away the speaker opening from each lid. If using a jig-saw or air-saw, pre-drill a 3/8” hole within the cut-out area to accomodate the start of your cut. After the center section has been cut away, use a metal file to smooth out any rough edges and corners. SAFETY GLASSES ARE A MUST!!!!
Tip: For better results, use a rotary tool with cut-off wheels/discs. Rotary tools may also include sanding attachments to remove any excess material from the sharp & rounded corners. SAFETY GLASSES ARE A MUST. -
While holding the grill in place on the top surface of the lid, turn the lid over and line up the speaker adapter screw holes. Use four small-headed Phillips screws provided to attach the speaker adapter to the grill. Tip: A small flange of the soft hinge mounting screw stand-off may need to be trimmed away for proper alignment. This can be cut away with a utility knife. ****
-
Install your PrecisionPower MAS 6×9 speaker to the speaker adapter attached to the grill in step 6. Condolences for your loss if you chose a different brand of speaker. Orientate the speakers so the wire terminals are toward the middle of the lid, not toward the edge of the lid. Attach the speaker using the four large-headed Phillips screws provided.
-
Reattach the soft hinge to the lid, or the entire lid if you removed it from the saddlebag completly. Then, reattach the saddlebag to the motorcycle as you removed it in Step 1.
Wiring The Lid Speakers To An Amplifier
Saddlebag Prep
-
Drill a hole in the side of the saddlebag, near the front bale pin or lever screw hole, following the dimensions below. A 16mm paddle bit is included.
1998-2013 model year saddlebags 1.50” left of the hole, 2.25” up
2014+ model-year saddlebags 1.75” left of the hole, 0.75” up -
Attach the speaker cable with green wires to the speaker previously installed in the clutch side saddlebag lid. Attach the speaker cable with violet-colored wires to the speaker previously installed in the brake side saddlebag lid. The terminals are keyed in size for correct polarity.
-
Remove the seat strap & seat screws with a Phillips screw driver. Store the seat and the screws removed in a safe place for re-installation later.
-
Remove the threaded nut from the waterproof connector, and insert the connector into the hole drilled in step one. Hand-tighten the nut onto the connector, securing it to the saddlebag.
-
Attach a speaker cable with 90° connector to the saddlebag connector, and route the cable to the battery compartment. Attach the cable to frame members and other brackets to avoid moving belt, brake parts, etc. with cable ties.
-
Connect each saddlebag speaker cable to its corresponding side of the T-connector. The brake side saddlebag speaker cable connects to the “Lch.” side of the T-connector, and brake side saddlebag speaker cable connects to the “Rch” side.
2014+ Street Glide & Ultra Windshield & Outer Fairing Removal
- Remove three outer fairing bolts using a T27 Torx screwdriver. The three outer fairing bolts are located below the windshield.

- Remove an additional inner fairing bolt with a T27 Torx or 5/32” hex driver, one behind each speaker grill. Remove the speaker grill by wedging a plastic/nylon pry tool between the inner fairing and grill edge, popping it outward. Once these bolts are removed, the outer fairing will be detached from the inner fairing. Store these screws in a safe place for installation later.
- While straddling the front wheel fender, grasp the outer fairing. Gently pull the fairing apart from the bike. With the fairing slightly pulled away from the bike, disconnect the wire harness for the headlamp or any other accessories. Lay the fairing on a protected flat surface to prevent damage.
1998-2013 Road Glide Outer Fairing Removal
- 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.
- Remove six inner fairing bolts using a T25 Torx screw driver. Two screws are adjacent to the fuel & battery voltage gauges. Two more are located at the outside corner of each speaker grill.
