I didn't want to start clipping wires on someone else's stuff without knowing exactly what I was doing. The fairing can easily be removed and we can get back in there to do it. And that radio is like a labyrinth. They couldn't have made a more complicated head unit with regard to settings and crap. I didn't know you could set a HPF on that HU. Sounds like we will be going back in. Thank you, I appreciate the help.

Yes snip the wires in the middle and hook up to the front right and left speaker wires on the HU. Settings for the 310 are as follows....HPF-80, Slope-1, EQ-Explode, DM+ ON, Dynamic loudness OFF, listening position-All. Set amp to AP and reset gains with bike running. Should end up somewhere between 5-6.
If distortion sets in a little early, bump the HPF up to 100.

New question. In setting up the high level inputs, we have this "retro radio" module. Where to we cut into the wire? Before the white connector or after the white connector?

Thanks so much, sorry for being a pest.

On the HU, I'll have to double check when I get home, when you get to the HPF settings push in on the volume ****. Then you either rotate or push the side of the **** left or right. To get to the Slope, push down while still in the HPF setting.

ok so now high level is hooked up, sounds great but the bike wont shut off completely. radio stays on, lights on the tach and speedo stay on. The only wires touched were the whites and grays - the speaker wires.

Hey guys this is my bike. Thanks for the help. I'm sure I missed something along the way. I am about to lose my **** though. I'm a hell of a lot better at swinging a hammer than audio hook ups!!!!!!!!!!!!
