Default Has Anyone Used This Amp Mount?

Happy Friday,

Has anyone used the Hogtunes Side Plate amp tray/mount? It mounts vertically on the brake side between the speaker and head unit replacing the fairing support on '98 - '13 bat wing fairing models.

I bought one of the NVX VADM4 amps which is pretty small and I'm looking for a way to fit it securely in the fairing. As small as it is it's still keeping my fairing from buttoning up tight when placed on top of the RZ4-2000d amp which is horizontal on top of the head unit between the supports.

Thanks for any input.

Yes, I used that exact mount with that exact amp. It does require a little tweaking where it mounts to the speaker hole do to using a speaker adapter for 6.5" speakers. I had to bend that part of bracket and drill new mounting hole. Really nothing to difficult. I did drill and tap two mounting holes to top of bracket to mount amp to bracket.

Default Oops!

Sorry JAGlide! I've read so many threads here and gotten so much advice from everyone I guess I'm seeing things.

I really appreciate your advice.

Thanks!

Yep, that's a great little bracket in the older fairings. Like mentioned, it does need a little tweaking to get it to work with the speaker adapters, but it works great otherwise. I wish they made one for the clutch side as well. Im sure I could find something to mount to it if they did, lol.

I just got done installing the HT bracket and the NVX amp. Wow, what a great product. Well made and it fit my bike perfectly. I was skeptical because I had the amp zip-tied in basically the exact same position and test-fitting the fairing was tight. But this mount actually mounted the amp much closer to the inner fairing. I have the older PA DB651's with the separate crossovers and I was able to fit that in there as well with no issues.

Thanks to all for the advice. Much appreciated.
