Your probably gonna need to either get creative with your own block or order an OEM block from the stealership. If you know what kind your going to need you might as well put one together. You could talk to the folks you bought your wing from, they might have some suggestions it cant be the only time theyve been asked that question.

I got mine from Glenn when I bought mine. Should be able to pick one up from a trailer or electronic store. I am only using three wire, power, ground, acc. If you need any more help pm me and I can walk you through how to run the wires and where to tap in for acc. Good luck Glenn makes a great fairing.

Glenn can deliver the fairing with a bulkhead adaptor that has pigtails for the inside of the fairing and pin connectors for the outer part. The other half is a several foot long pigtail with a screw on socket connector that mates to the pins on the fairing. If you ask, he can probably sell you what he uses, but sounds like you will have to drill a hole in the bottom of the fairing and rivet the bulkhead adaptor on yourself if he didn't prep that for you.
Some pics:
I did not tap in to any accessory line, routed it straight back to the battery with a fuse in line. I ran the cable under the dash panel rather than under the tank on my RK.

I had Glen install the QD connector for the faring , what i want is to mount a block inside the faring to neatly join all the grounds and power wires to instead of a bunch of connectors..my outer fairing should be back tomorrow from paint shop...dark peace officer blue..my shop has had a heck of a time matching the color seems even the OE paint wasnt the same so he had PPG rep come in scan and mix..I cant wait to reinstall the fairing on my R king

Ahh, ok, clear now.
Sorry, I didn't do anything fancier than using crimp tubes to join the leads on the pigtail on the QD connector to the various wires for the stereo and cigarette lighter style power port. I then bound them up in a coil and then used a spot of hot melt glue to hold them to the inner fairing while the daub of caulk I applied ot hold them long term dried.
Pay attention to keeping slack out of all the wires and caulking them in place to keep them from rattling around.
Also, take it ez epoxying the water shield above the radio....I put so much on there, i could never get it off cleanly if I wanted to...a small bead goes a long way, lol.

I did the same but soldered all the connections so they will not come loose with vibrations. I did leave extra so if need be I can re wire. Speakers are all quick connect with speaker clips. I did have to change stereos due to warranty work on the orgininal breaking. So yes take it easy on the splash guard. It is pretty easy to do.

On my dragon fly I attached a terminal block for my ground, epoxy to a wooden block and then to the bracket on the fairing, my main ground wire runs to arc audio amp, short jumper from amp to terminal block. Head unit, line driver, satellite receiver, and aux power port all get the ground from this block. Cleans up alot of wiring.
