Saddlebag Lid Speaker Installation Kit For
Harley-Davidson® Touring Series Motorcycles

Cutting The Saddlebag Lid
 1. Remove the saddlebags from the motorcycle and set on a convenient,
 protected working surface.

 2. 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.

                                  3. 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 provide to
                                  attach the tempate to each lid.

 4. Remove the soft hinge from the lid side by
 unscrewing the two T25 Torx screws.

                                 5. 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!!!!

6. 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 adpater 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.

 7. Install your PrecisionPower MAS 6x9 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 four large
 headed phillips screws provide.

 8. 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

 1. 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.
