sarges46 Posted January 23, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 23, 2008 Fred We mounted Marilyns right to the brake master cover with 2 sided tape. Just made sure sure that it would fit between the screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewalker Posted January 23, 2008 Share #6 Posted January 23, 2008 I ran mine through the Fairing then back under the windshield...I used double stick tape used for emblems to tape it to the top of the dash just under the windshield, so far it is a clean install and has had no issues with signal strength being behind the windshield. I do not have any Pics but could try to get some if you need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnventurer Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share #7 Posted January 23, 2008 These Ideas are great! .My only concern about the running under the fairing is the movement of the wire. Could the back and forth motion weaken the insulation , And what did ya do with all the extra wire length?...Thanks agian....Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to remember to add the link from home later this evening or early in the morning. I have purchased various things from them, all with good results. Prior to that I just coiled up behind the mount and secured it with velcro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Terror Posted January 23, 2008 Share #9 Posted January 23, 2008 This is the kit I used to mount mine. Comes with everything to get rid of the lighter plug so you dont need to make it look crappy. Also use a splitter in the fairing to connect the aux and its very clean. http://www.tss-radio.com/professional-motorcycle-install-kit-sirpmk1-p-4430.html For installed pix go to my gallery. Mounts infront of the clutch master nice and low and neat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DITO:::::: I just installed mine last week end and did it just like Firewalker did his....the presure on the wire did not feel that tight, if it breakes then I will get another and run it to a diferent place. but it does look clean on the dash..

silvercrew Posted January 23, 2008 Share #16 Posted January 23, 2008 I installed my satt radio antenna on the chrome trim I have around my mirrors, but my mirrors are mounted to the fairing. The radio I installed on the ignition cover and the spare wire I tucked inside the fairing. I also installed a fm modulator for better reception. The cover I made from some clear plastic I bought at wal-mart and glued it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM8560 Posted January 24, 2008 Share #17 Posted January 24, 2008 I mounted mine right on top of the dashboard also with 2 sided sticky. Ran the wire under the dash and came out under the window , no trouble yet with insultaion abrasion the extra wire is rolled and tied up under the dash behind the head unit thats also under the dash pardon the dusty dash I just got in off the road tonight. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b22/MikeM8560/Venture%20XVZ12/th_100_0904.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b22/MikeM8560/Venture%20XVZ12/th_mvc_760s_461-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
