![]() To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause death or serious injury, disconnect battery cables (negative (-) cable first) before proceeding. (00307a) ![]() Disconnect negative (-) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00049a) | ||
2. | Refer to the owner's manual and follow the instructions to remove the seat and disconnect the battery cables, negative (-) cable first. Retain all seat mounting hardware. NOTE For 2004 and later Sportster® models, the negative battery cable is most easily disconnected at the engine crankcase. | |
3. | Remove the battery from the vehicle. |
1. | See Figure 1. Locate the siren connector (2) on the main harness, behind the harness shield forward of the battery location. It is covered by a dust cap. Pull the dust cap from the connector, and feed the connector downward and out from behind the shield. | |||||||||||||||
2. | Select the correct siren harness (3) for this model year vehicle from the kit. Route the three-pin connector (1) of the siren harness from the bottom of the motorcycle, between the primary cover and frame tube. Plug the connector into the siren harness connector (2) on the vehicle main harness. |
Figure 1. Connect the Siren Harness to the Vehicle Harness | ||||||||||||||
3. | Secure the connectors to the diagnostic harness using a cable strap from the kit. Route the long lead of the siren harness over the frame rear crossmember (4). NOTE Route the siren harness away from moving parts, sharp edges, hot areas and out of sight as much as possible. | |||||||||||||||
4. | See Figure 2. Install the siren (1) with the sounder disc aligning with the holes in the lower bracket (2). For siren with antenna (shown): Route the siren antenna wire (5) out through the cutout in the bracket, alongside the connector. ALL sirens: Seat the siren fully into the bracket. |

6. | See Figure 3. Connect the long lead of the siren harness (2) to the siren (1). | |||||||||||||||
7. | See Figure 4. Position the siren and bracket assembly (1) so that the connector (2) is facing toward the left side of the motorcycle. Insert the rear of the assembly over the rear frame crossmember, and slide the assembly to the rear until the front of the brackets clear the front crossmember. Swing the front of the brackets up so that the upper and lower bracket flanges are above the front crossmember. Slide the brackets forward and allow the bracket flanges to rest on the crossmembers. NOTE Keep the siren harness away from moving parts, sharp edges, and hot areas, and out of sight as much as possible. For siren with antenna (shown): Do not secure the siren antenna (3) with the harness. Allow the antenna to hang free. |

8. | ALL sirens: Push the harness into the opening, and secure the harness to the frame using cable straps from the kit. NOTE For ease in assembly and increased clearance, insert the cap screws through the brackets and frame crossmembers from the top. | |||||||||||||||
9. | See Figure 5. Align the siren bracket mounting holes with the rightmost set of holes in the frame crossmembers. Secure the brackets using the two hex head cap screws and lock nuts from the kit. | |||||||||||||||
10. | For siren WITHOUT antenna: Continue after step 18. For siren WITH antenna: Clean the top and inside surface of the left-side frame tube with a mixture of 50-70% isopropyl alcohol and 30-50% water. Allow to dry thoroughly. |
Figure 6. Secure the Siren Antenna to the Frame | ||||||||||||||
11. | See Figure 6. Get the adhesive-backed hook fastener (2) from the kit. Peel the paper backing from the fastener adhesive, and attach the fastener to the cleaned area of the frame tube. | |||||||||||||||
12. | Lay the siren antenna wire (1) down the center of the installed fastener half, and straighten the antenna along the length of the fastener. NOTE In order for the antenna to work properly, none of the small diameter portion should touch the metal parts of the vehicle. | |||||||||||||||
13. | Get the plain-backed loop fastener (3) from the kit. Install the loop fastener onto the hook fastener installed on the frame tube, capturing the antenna wire to hold it firmly in place. | |||||||||||||||
14. | Install a cable strap from the kit around the frame tube, about 6 mm (¼ in) in from each end of the hook-and-loop fastener to hold it in place. NOTE Verify that the ignition key switch is in the OFF position before installing the main fuse and attaching the battery cables. | |||||||||||||||
15. | For ALL sirens: Refer to the owner's manual and follow the instructions to do the following: a. Install the battery into the vehicle. b. Apply a light coat of Harley-Davidson electrical contact lubricant (H-D Part No. 99861-02), petroleum jelly or corrosion retardant material to the battery terminals. | |||||||||||||||
![]() Connect positive (+) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00068a) NOTICE Do not over-tighten bolts on battery terminals. Use recommended torque values. Over-tightening battery terminal bolts could result in damage to battery terminals. (00216a) | ||||||||||||||||
16. | Connect the battery cables (positive cable first). | |||||||||||||||
17. | Connect the main fuse. Install the left-side cover. | |||||||||||||||
![]() After installing seat, pull upward on seat to be sure it is locked in position. While riding, a loose seat can shift causing loss of control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00070b) | ||||||||||||||||
