Has anyone installed the Boom Audio Windshield kit on a newer RoadKing? Was wondering where you got the power from for the system,I heard its from inside the Nacell but was wondering if I could get it from my fuse box from the spare fuse because i already used the spare wires in the nacell for my Heat Demons.Any help would be Appreciated THANKS
I have this setup on my RK with Wild 1's 518, which are a very wide set of beach bars and have no problem with cables for either the on/off volume control or for the ipod/iphone connector
How hard is it to install your self? Cause Harley wanted 360.00 for installation costs... ? Thank you
The hardest parts are deciding how you want the wires to run up front- you can't hide everything but you can hide a lot- and in my case and many others , finding the connector in the battery box area. The connector likes to play hide and seek sometimes.
Also I didn't splice my wire, instead I ran the wire down to the fuse box area and connected there instead. And instead of running the wires under the tank I ran them under the console it was a lot easier.
I put it on my wifes RK, its not hard at all to install, I took my time and it probably took me a couple of hours. I hid all the wires and really the only one you see is the wire from the volume controls running down the bars to the unit. I took the headlight bucket apart so I could hide everything for a clean install. I did as others have mentioned and ran the power and ground wires under the console to get to the battery. I cant remember if I hooked it to the orange wire or direct to the battery. I want to say I used the orange wire. Either way, I would not pay the dealer $360 to install it.
Thanks for the replies. I am currently running the SENA headset for wireless music from my handlebar mounted Iphone. Still deciding whether this will be the way to go. I am assuming that there is no way to pause the device with the hand control. I use Pandora alot and song skipping and pausing is very nice with out having to take my eyes off the road.
tHANK ALL THAT REPLIED TO THE INSTALLATION QUESTION, I GUESS THE HD DEALER GUYS MIS UNDERSTOOD ME ABOUT THE INSTALL, BECAUSE I CALLED BACK AND THEY SAID 130 FOR INSTALLATION, WHICH I AM WILLING TO PAY INSTEAD OF DOING IT MYSELF, I KNOW....TAKES ALL THE FUN OUT OF IT BUT WANTED TO MAKE SURE ITS GANNA GET DONE RIGHT WITH OUT ANY MESS UPS AND PLUS FOR THE EXTRA WARRANTY FOR THEM PUTTING IT ON.
