Default Pan America Battery Locatiion

Hello to you all, hope everybody is doing ok.

I just got my hands on a PAS and loving it so far.... I'm replacing the standard Horn (PS) with a MOTOHORN dual but came up with the situation that the standard wiring do not hold both horn so I have to do the battery to relay installation but believe it or not I can't seem to find the F Battery below the seat as usual, maybe is a different type of battery.. is ot the one bellow all this wiring (see picture_ and if so do I have to take the passenger rack to access the terminals?

Behind the front wheel below the radiator. Check your manual page 158.

NP, and if you haven't already done so, the front fairing just pulls right off, no screws. Stand straddling the front wheel and just pull the fairing towards you. Lot's of places to tie wrap stuff.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That acronym reminds me of the one Hammz used to post at least once a day when the bike with the new GTS radio came out. Folks were posting more about the radio and matching it will BT headsets than anything else. Hammz got so frustrated with folks asking the same questions all the time, he went berserk daily! LOL!!

Do you remember all that? It was funny as heck. For a while, the Forum threads sounded like we had all bought a new radio system and a Motorcycle came attached to it.

Back when software came with a manual, that was a favorite saying. The other one was standing next to a particularly inept user we would be on the phone with tech support and would call out a code "ID TEN TEE" which the poor user wouldn't recognize as "ID10T" or "IDIOT".

I'm as guilty as the next person for getting elbows deep before having to go look at the manual.
