Gotcha - Tough to tell w/ your pics.

Top right is your RCA wire (which you won't use - get some short ones locally or amazon.uk).
Top left looks like speaker wire - definitely use it if you have connectors that will work for it. Looks like 12g maybe (PITA to find connectors for 14-16g so much easier!)
Mid and Bottom left - more of the same? More speaker wire (maybe cut to run their speakers and then not used).

What you need to show better pics of - Mid and Bottom right. That's your ground wire (mid), and power (bottom). Do you have an inline fuse w/ this? You should have one as close to the battery as you can on the power.

do you have something to use for scale? Tape measure works best since your coins won't match well with what we know to measure against.

When i get home i'll try to take a pic of my 8g for you to compare.

HTH - GL!

Cheers I'm getting the idea. I do have a fuse. I just found the same one on eBay. Looks like a clear plastic bullet , quite a heavy thing. Ad says it's 4 or 8 G.... I'll take the cabling to the local store and ask him. So it should just be some short quality rca leads I need?.. assuming I'm putting it in the batwing. Problem is it's a datacenter batwing
The only person on here that I know of, put a SS in this fairing looked like he had to make special brackets and had it fitted on a angle. I probably won't really know for sure till I strip down. I've pm'd the guy, think his name was Reese. But no answer yet. If it looks like to much trouble I'll put it in one of the bags.

Gone Riding or UltraNutZ - interested in trading a couple Ferrites? I put an ad up to sell my extras in the for sale forum here. Would like at least one or two of the smaller diameter ones and happy to trade!

Thx!

just a quick glance tells me the following.

RCA cables are twisted so that's good and helps keep out unwanted engine noise.
Blue wires look like 16ga speaker wire so that's good as well
Silver wire and Red wire both look to be 10ga so that's perfect for what you're doing as well.

I have no idea what cables I have, I bought the amp and some cables from someone who never used them, they are brand new, how do I tell what size the power cable is?
if it's not right I'll order the right ones, as I only really want to take my fairing apart once, heres a pic

Man I don't have any to trade.. Of all the bikes I've done, I've only had 1 with the FM issue so never really needed them. The package of ferrite cores that I bought are really small.. small enough to where a 10ga wire would go through it once. This was before I met Mr Genius up there (Gone Riding) and he figured out the whole power/emi thing.

Same to Gone Riding. If you don't have any to trade, at least i can get you one of the larger ones which will fit 8g wire.

I'd be glad to send you a couple of the small ones (0.5" inner diameter), Sl33py. I ordered something like 10 of them since they are so cheap relative to the shipping charge. Just PM me your address. They're too cheap and small to mess with payment, and I don't need any of the big ones. I don't expect to do any more.

Since I had extras, I put one on my hand-made RCA cable in addition to the power and remote. The next time my fairing is off I'd be tempted to put one on the rear speaker wires too. I suspect a little noise is also getting out that route.
