INSTALLATION OF LOWER VENTED FAIRING
HD13.LVF (1998-2013 Model Years)
1. Remove and open the lower fairings from the box. Set the fairings on a flat & clean
surface, protecting the paint from damage.
2. Using a ratchet with a 10mm socket on an extension,
remove the two bolts from inside the speaker pod to release the
crash bar cover. Set the crash bar covers & bolts aside.
Tip: Access to these two bolts is tight. Use a ¼” drive ratchet,
extension & deep socket if available.
3. Flip the fairings over and remove the three Phillips screws
to release the speaker pod. Set the speaker pods & screws
aside.
Tip: Use a long shank Phillips head screwdriver with magnetic
tip for easier access and removal of these screws.
4. Thread the speaker wire included with this kit thru a hole
in the sidewall of the lower fairing, located near the crash bar
channel. Insert the speaker wire terminals first, pulling about 6”
of speaker wire into the fairing. Insert one side of the rubber
grommet thru the hole into the fairing.
Tip: Use a small/mini flathead screwdriver to press one side of
the rubber grommet thru the fairing sidewall.
5. Thread the speaker wire thru a hole in the back of the
speaker pod removed in step #3. Leave about 3” of speaker
wire inside the speaker pod, and 3” between speaker pod and
the lower fairing.
Tip: Insert one speaker terminal at a time thru the hole in the
speaker pod. If the hole is too small, use a ¼” drill bit & cordless
drill to enlarge the hole.
6. Hold the speaker pod and fairing together and flip the
assembly over, aligning the screw holes of the speaker pod to
the lower fairing. Reattach the speaker pod to the lower fairing
using the three Phillips screws removed in step 3. Set the
complete speaker pod & lower fairing assembly aside.
27. Remove the lower crash bar clamps included with
this kit and install one around the lower portion of each
crash bar. The flat end of the clamp should be up, and
pointing toward the foot pedals.
8. With one hand, hold the lower fairing assembly in place to the
crash bar, aligning the upper portion of the crash bar into the crash
bar channel of the lower fairing. With another hand, join the crash
bar cover removed in #2 to the lower fairing.
9. With your third & fourth hands (or a helper), reattach the crash
bar cover to the lower fairing using a ratchet & 10mm socket on an
extension with the bolts removed in step 2. Secure only hand tight
so final adjustments can be made later.
10. Align the screw hole of the lower crash bar clamp to the
hole in the bottom of the lower fiaring. Push a lower crash bar
clamp hex bolt with washer included in the kit thru the hole in
the lower portion of the fairing and thru the holes of the lower
crash bar clamp installed in step 7.
Tip: The crash bar clamp is an exact fit to the crash bar.
Holding the clamp together by hand might be difficult. Use a
pair of pliers to hold the clamp ends together while inserting
the bolt.
11. Tighten the nut to the lower crash bar clamp bolt using a socket & ratchet or wrench and
a 5mm hex key tool or screwdriver. Secure only hand tight so final adjustments can be made.
12. Align the lower fairing with the angle of the crash bar, so it is not crooked. Tighten the
crash bar cover bolts & the lower crash bar clamp bolt/nut into their final position using the
ratchet with 10mm socket on an extension & 5mm hex key.

extension & deep socket if available.
3. Flip the fairings over and remove three 3mm hex screws
w/ washers to release the speaker pod. Set the speaker
pods & screws aside.
Tip: Use a screwdriver with magnetic bit holder and 3mm bit for
easier access and removal of these screws.
4. Thread the speaker wire included with this kit thru a
hole in the sidewall of the lower fairing, located near
the crash bar channel. Insert the speaker wire terminals
first, pulling about 6” of speaker wire into the fairing.

5INSTALLATION OF SPEAKERS
All Models
1. Remove speaker and EQ modules from the box. Set speakers & grills aside.
2. Connect the FEMALE terminals of the speaker wire installed
into the speaker pod to the MALE terminals of the EQ module. The
speaker wire with black stripe should connect to the black wire of the
module, and the solid color speaker wire should connect with the red
wire of the module. Tuck the EQ module and speaker wire in the back
of the speaker pod
3. Connect the FEMALE terminals of the EQ module to the
corresponding MALE terminals of the speaker. Red wire to + terminal
of the speaker, black wire to the – terminal of the speaker.
4. Place the grill over the speaker aligning the four
screw holes and with the PrecisionPower logo positioned
in the lower half of the speaker. Insert the four black
screws included in this kit.
5. Align the speaker/grill assembly with screws to the
screw holes of the speaker pod. Attach the grill & speaker
to the speaker/grill assembly to the pod using a #2 phillips
screwdriver.
Tip: If aligning the speaker into the speaker pod is
difficult, the EQ module can be omitted; is not required
for use. Disconnect it from the speaker and speaker wire,
then connect the speaker wire from inside the pod directly
to the speaker. The speaker wire with black stripe should connect to the – terminal on the
speaker. The solid color speaker wire should connect to the + terminal on the speaker.
***The remaining steps assume you have opened the upper
fairing to install PrecisionPower’s MAA4.400 amplifier, or to
access it/an existing amplifier.
6. Route the speaker cable from each lower fairing to
the upper fairing. Connect each lower fairing speaker cable
to the corresponding Lch and Rch side of the T-connector
included in this kit. Attach the speaker cable with 8-pin
amplifier connector to the center of the T-Connector. Secure
the speaker cables and T-connector to other cables or inner
fairing brackets, etc. using a few cable/zip ties.
7. Route the speaker cable with 8-pin amplifier connector
to the amplifier and connect it to the speaker output of
PrecisionPower’s MAA4.400.
*If the amplifier is already powering PrecisionPower’s fairing speakers and/or saddlebag lid
speakers, attach the 8-pin amplifier connector for the lower fairings to the female connector
attached to the upper fairing or saddlebag lid speaker cable.
*If another amplifier is used, you can cut off the 8-pin amplifier connector and connect the
individual speaker wire as direct by the amplifier manufacturer.
