After-market Fairing Wiring???
I have a 98' Road King Classic that I am in the process of adding a Reckless Faring to - ( I bought just the shell so there was no wiring or wiring instructions that came with it)
For those who have added an aftermarket fairing to their Road Kings - how did you wire it in?
I have an Alpine head unit, Alpine KTP-445 amp and Polk MM691 6x9's going into the fairing. (I am making a quick disconnect that will be hidden under the headlight assembly)
If I run a fused constant hot to the positive battery post and the grounds to the negative post what do I do with the ACC wire?? Would I splice it into the fused constant going to the positive battery post or run it somewhere else and why???
Also, if someone has a wiring diagram / intruction sheet that came with their pre-assembled fairing that they would be willing to share that would be much appreciated -

Does anyone see a problem with running the acc to the battery without an in-line fuse? I just found a few old post about some that were splicing the acc to the ignition switch under the tank console. Is there any advantage to this?

Did you buy it with the fairing or separately? I went to their website and did not find anything.

the fairing I put on my roadking was a wide open customs and same scenario.
There are a few different ways to get power where you need it but your specific question can be answered by looking at the harness that plugs into your headlight. A few inches back from the headlight on the harness is an orange/white wire that is not used and taped up around the headlight harness. This is accessory.

I bought it separately. I called them and asked for the harness only and they sold it to me.
