Installation
NOTE
Make the connections to the cigarette lighter one lead at a time to prevent crossing the connections, which could damage the hidden antenna.
Having more than one accessory connected to the terminal mounting tab on the cigarette lighter terminals could lead to a short circuit of the accessory circuit.
  1. For models that do not have an accessory connected to terminal mounting tab on the cigarette lighter terminals: Connect the hidden antenna to the cigarette lighter terminals as follows: For models that already have an accessory connected to terminal mounting tab on the cigarette lighter terminals: Splice into the power (orange/white or orange/red) and ground (black) wires to connect the hidden antenna as follows:
    1. Disconnect the black wire [132B] from the cigarette lighter. Connect it to the connector of the hidden antenna's black wire.
    2. Connect the hidden antenna's black wire to the cigarette lighter's ground terminal.
    3. Disconnect the orange/white wire (or orange/red) [132B] from the cigarette lighter. Connect it to the connector of the hidden antenna's red wire.
    4. Connect the hidden antenna's red wire to the cigarette lighter's power terminal.
    1. Cut the connectors from the black and red wires of the hidden antenna and strip approximately 10 mm (⅜ in) of insulation from the end of each wire.
    2. Cut the black wire leading to the cigarette lighter approximately 25 mm (1 in) back from the connector.
    3. See the sealed splice instructions in the service manual and splice the black wire of the hidden antenna to the two ends of the cut black (ground) wire using a sealed splice included in the kit.
    4. Cut the orange/white or orange/red wire leading to the cigarette lighter approximately 25 mm (1 in) back from the connector.
    5. See the sealed splice instructions in the service manual and splice the black wire of the hidden antenna to the two ends of the cut orange/white or orange/red (power) wire using a sealed splice included in the kit.
  2. Disconnect the stock am/fm antenna [51A]. Secure the antenna wire out of the way.
  3. Connect the antenna wire from the hidden antenna to the radio antenna port [51B].
  4. Use the alcohol cleaning pad from the kit to clean the antenna mounting area on the outer fairing.
  5. See Figure 1. For Electra Glide®, Street Glide® and Trike models, remove the protective tape from the adhesive pads of the hidden antenna and install the antenna onto the outer fairing in the location shown. See Figure 2. For Road Glide® models, remove the protective tape from the adhesive pads of the hidden antenna and install the antenna onto the outer fairing in the location shown. If it is installed too high the hidden antenna could contact the radio brackets.
  6. Remove the OE antenna.
  7. Install the thread protector from the kit over the antenna base.
  8. For FLHX models: Remove the grommet from the antenna pass-through hole and install the hole plug from the kit.
