quick disconnect fuel line. Push up on the chrome sleeve and pull down on the connector and it pops right out and you spill maybe 2 drops of fuel. slide tank back about 2" and lift it off. Best to do when tank is not full so ride it! :-)

reverse procedure to assemble

5-6 gallons of gas is pretty awkward and heavy in the tank. Don't ask how I know LoL

Sidecar Cycles in Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada has Lid Spkr kits for the 2014 models. I know they built some for a CVO and made molds to sell the kits. The final product is in the design/build phase. I saw the set on the 2014 CVO and it looked great!

That's also where you can get Adapters for the Batwing, Lowers and Rear Pods.

I used 6 - 6.5" Hawg Wired Spkrs and 2 (300W for 2 rear and a 400W for 4 front spkrs.) Hawg Wired Amps and it looks and sounds great! I have lower spkrs on a Twin Cooled bike and no bag lid spkrs at this time.

Cycle Sounds ranted and raved just as the 14s came out that they were releasing a kit to allow 6x9s to be installed in the fairing. Well that never transpired as I expected from them.

However they now show on their website a picture of 6x9 lids for the 14 models with a note saying "preorder shipping in 2-3 weeks".

Tired of waiting on BikeTronics,so installed PBR300/2 AND 4 Kicker CS 6.5 speakers and wired them in parallel and it sounds good gains set at 7 and only go about half volume,amp gets a little warmer than I like but guess thats normal.Sucks because john at BT said their gonna be on the market in the real near future.But for under $350 for amp,speakers,amp install kit,and amp mounting bracket I have 5 times better than stock. Happy for now.
