RADIO MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Unless otherwise noted, all installation procedures in this manual should be performed
in the order presented.
6.1 INSTALLING THE ADAPTER BRACKET
Install the Adapter Bracket by attaching it to the motorcycle’s radio bracket as follows:
1.
Obtain Adapter Bracket 188D6438P1 (Item 3 in Table 4-2) included in the Motorcycle Installation
Kit.
2.
Obtain the four (4) resilient mounts in Motorcycle Adapter Bracket Mounting Kit 350A1396G4 (Item
7 in Table 4-2).
3.
As illustrated in Figure 6-1, attach a resilient mount to each corner of the bracket using four of the
eight
5
/
16
-inch serrated nuts included in Hardware Kit 350A1396G2 (Item 6 in Table 4-2). Use each
mount’s shortest stub. Tighten these four (4) nuts securely. A torque of approximately 100 in.-lbs.
(11.3 N.m.) is recommended.
The Adapter Bracket’s four (4) large PEM nuts must face up and its smaller PEM nut
must face down. Also, the small PEM nut must be towards the left-rear of the
motorcycle.
4.
Using Figure 6-1 and/or Figure 6-2 as a guide, securely attach the Adapter Bracket to the
motorcycle’s radio bracket. Use the ¼-20 x
⅝
-inch-long bolts (“hex cap screws”) and ¼-inch
flatwashers included in Hardware Kit 350A1396G2.
Some motorcycle radio brackets have pre-drilled holes that will match the four (4) PEM nuts in the
Adapter Bracket. In this case, as illustrated in Figure 6-1, use a ¼-inch flatwasher with each ¼-20 bolt
and first pass each bolt through the bracket hole, then into the respective PEM nut in the Adapter
Bracket.
Other motorcycle radio brackets have pre-installed PEM nuts that match holes (without PEM nuts) in
the Adapter Bracket. In this case, as illustrated in Figure 6-2, use ¼-inch washers with each ¼-20 bolt
and first pass each bolt through the respective hole in the Adapter Bracket, then into the respective
PEM nut in the motorcycle’s radio bracket.
5.
Tighten all four ¼-inch bolts securely. A torque of between 55 and 60 in.-lbs. (6.2 to 6.8 N.m.) is
recommended.
6.2 MOUNTING THE CASE AND CASE/ANTENNA BRACKET TO
ADAPTER BRACKET
Mount the motorcycle radio case and the case/antenna bracket to the adapter bracket as follows:
1.
Obtain Motorcycle Radio Case 188D6464P1 (Item 1 in Table 4-2) from the Motorcycle Installation
Kit.
2.
Obtain Case/Antenna Bracket 188D6437P1 (Item 2 in Table 4-2) from the Motorcycle Installation
Kit.
3.
Set the Case/Antenna Bracket onto the
5
/
16
-inch studs of the four (4) resilient mounts. These mounts
were attached to the Adapter Bracket in the previous procedure. Pass the studs through the oval-
