What did you make the template out of and how did it work? Doing mine over the winter but don't have the intestinal fortitude to drill yet. What did you use to cut the big hole for the harness plug?

 

One of the most enjoyable reads in a while thanks for posting....really giving me something to think about.

 

I just used three sheets of regular 8.5x11 printer paper. I did the each side first and then the middle last taping them together into one piece. I trimmed around the edge with a sharp Xacto knife. It worked good, I measured one of the bikes at the dealers and it had the top of the light bar 16mm down from the top edge of the tour pack. You need to be very precise putting it on and drilling the holes. I lucked out and it was a perfect fit first try. As for the big hole I drilled a bunch of 1/4" holes around the edge and then used a Dremel tool with a 1/8" router tip to join the holes so the center part would fall out. Then I changed to a 1/4" general use tip and tidied up the edges.

 

Thanks for the tips and great write up. Much appreciated.

 

NICE!!!!!!!!!!! I installed the light bar on my rushmore chopped pak! Best mod ever!

 

Super08, very nice write up. I will be undertaking this soon. I dont think I will go for the light bar though.

My only question is why didn't you use this kit for the speakers, http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...-enclosure-kit. It comes with a harness that connects in the fairing to the rear speaker connector and runs back to the seat.

 

I did use that kit and have that harness. I need the AM/FM harness to run back to the radio antenna. The one on a regular Road Glide and Road Glide Special is shorter than the one that comes with an Ultra.

 

Ah, it sounded like you needed more for the speakers not the antenna. Thanks again for the write up.

 

WOW - what a difference. You did a really nice job.

 

Super08, you will have to have the radio flashed at the Dealer to turn the rear speakers on, had to do that when I made my old 14 SG into an Ultra.
