Never mind my previous comment! All I needed to do was watch the damn video to the 12 minute mark and my question was answered. It's what I get for being an old geezer who hasn't installed audio in 30 years while suffering from ADD!! Excellent video! Thanks!!!
In regards to what antenna to use, I just used an old car antenna cable about 6" long and soldered a 2 ft. piece of insulated copper wire to the positive side of it (the center, not the outside if the cable, that is the ground) It's just routed around the inside of the fairing and picks up radio stations from over 60 miles away, so I figure it works pretty well for what it is. There may be better ones out there, but for what I have, it works perfect.
A better way to splice into the factory wiring would be not to cut the wire. You remove a piece of the wire sheathing, split the wire apart, and run the new wire thru and wrap it around. You then use solder the connection and use water proof wrap tape.
I mounted a batwing on my VTX 1800c & went with the BOSS marine stereo & speaker system with amp & the head cover, it’s water proof & has a UV protective coating for those days you can’t find any shade to park under. The marine stereo systems I think are better for this type of application simply because you never know when you might hit rain & why take the chance???

Nice job with your installation on your vehicle by the way I'm getting ready to do 1800 F model but I want to make sure it can be heard down the road can you add an amp to it
This video is so helpful, thanks! I'm curious though. Wont the stereo bounce around with just that bracket holding it? Seems like maybe a piece of foam or insulation wedged in there to steady it might help. What are your thoughts on that? Again, thanks so much for putting this together.
One VERY important point not made here is that you have to have SHALLOW speakers because the Batwing does not have much depth and you also need slimline grills. standard gills will extend past the bottom of the Batwing. I have had to do a lot of fabricating on the bottom portion of the speaker to fit.

Depends on your bikes excess electric abilities. First thing you need to do is find out what size fuses are in your ride and what's not being used. Not all bikes can handle the same demands. It does take some time to learn, but you can and you can do it relatively easy! There's allot of videos that explain everything you'll need to know. And the best part is, once you know this stuff, you'll NEVER be misguided again and pretty much be able to effectively investigate and answer your own questions! Happy adventuring!
I bought a bat wing for my 2005 Yamaha Rd. star 1700 and the stereo opening is very large. It is 5 inches wide by 9 inches long takes for 4 x 5“ speakers but when I bought a stereo for it the hole in the bat wing is too big. And the speaker holes will not accommodate a 4 x 5” speaker because the holes are about a half inch too big what would you recommend to install a marine stereo with four speakers with 6 inch speakers and what adapters would I need to make the stereo fit a hoe.
I already have a power supply that is turned on and off by the ignition switch, can I use a matching 2 prong connector and hook the red and yellow wires on the radio together to have power? That power supply powers a CB radio on the bike. How can I use that to power my radio? It is a 2 prong black and red.
What wattage radio and speakers did you install? Trying to install this week and everywhere online says I need 300 watts RMS each speaker (two 6x9s) which means i need a 600 watt RMS radio and all the radios I'm able to get are only like max 50 RMS x 4

So I'm having trouble I did everything in the video to the tee and I had the bike on not running so I could set up the radio and clock and all right and when to start my bike after only like 20 mins and battery was completely dead
Great video gentlemen. I am looking to add a batwing fairing to my 02 Shadow Spirit 1100. A couple of questions...1. I don't recall any information/comments in regards to an antenna for the radio? Assume you would get very little range without one?2. Can waterproof radios/speakers be purchased...and where?Thanks again.
+Jeff Hutchins You can find many motorcycle / boat radios and speakers that are weather proof. Tune Trapper makes an antenna that can be hidden inside the fairing. Ride safe & Ride Often!

Keep in mind marine speakers will have a water proof case around the back of the speaker that covers the magnet & can sometimes be larger than car speakers making them to large for the cut out so if 5.25 is recommended then 5.25 marine speakers will be to big
Shoot my batwing from them I had to struggle so hard to reassemble it(put the 2 side back together) ..I ended up having to take it off my bike reassemble it them re mount it .

Just a quick note....well, first, THANK YOU for these vids...but now, on to my concern. If you go by the moniker Law Abiding Biker, then why oh why are you allowing a criminal to bring a "HOT'' radio? LOL LOL J/K

When I put a batwing with a radio on my VTX I used a marine dipole antenna, plugged it into the radio then hot glued the legs of the antenna along the inside of the back half of the batwing. So far the radio reception is good and the hot glue has held nicely. Search the words AM FM dipole antenna It looks like a capital letter T with a plug for automotive radios. Sold on Amazon or eBay or marine supply stores.

I've been looking at some marine radios to install... but I'd rather have a traditional radio and traditional speakers if I could. Will the water/ humidity damage the deck? Or speakers?

Mike BigEasyRider speedshifter88 is correct. The stereo had a built in fuse. If you installing one that doesn't, I would definitely suggest putting one inline on the constant power.

At timing 4:50, how can I find the hot connecting wire for Harley Davidson Dyna? At timing 17:00, is it the yellow wire is to provide continue power to the stereo when the bike is switch off? So that when switch on the bike again, the stereo can remember the last setting or the clock timing, is it? Why don't stereo has a small battery similar like the one in the motherboard, or a memory chip, that will remember the last setting? When I change the battery every time, the last memory will be gone too... And does the continue power draw a lot of battery juice when the bike is switch?
So this may be a stupid question but I am totally new to this. If you cut the wire and butt splice in the new wire (the wire that goes to the stereo) won't whatever was connected in the first place not work anymore? As in if you disconnect whatever was originally connected on the wire from the battery and use that wire to connect the stereo to the battery, than won't whatever was originally connected to the battery just be disconnected? And therefore unpowered because it's no longer connected to the battery the stereo is. Unless maybe you can put both those wires into the one butt connector so you've got battery power to the butt connector and then power from the butt connector to both the stereo and the original connection. If that's possible and that's what you guys did I must have either missed it or misunderstood.
your last guess is correct, they cut the red wire from the battery then twisted the radio wire to one side then but connected them back together so that red wire from the battery now powers the radio and the original connection.
@@RyanUrlacher I have a question I did everything that you guys did in the video and while I was setting up my radio with the bike just on not running to be clear when I went to start it after I set up the radio my bike battery was dead any reason why that might be cuz I had a brand new battery
I'm having a problem with my wiring, I got my positive and ground connected to the battery and the negative, stereo is on but now it doesnt turn off! I thought it would turn on and off with the ignition

Very simple and easy to do. I was overwhelmed when I first saw the road/street glide fairing hook up.
Never mind my previous comment! All I needed to do was watch the damn video to the 12 minute mark and my question was answered. It's what I get for being an old geezer who hasn't installed audio in 30 years while suffering from ADD!! Excellent video! Thanks!!!
U betcha, glad the video was useful!
In regards to what antenna to use, I just used an old car antenna cable about 6" long and soldered a 2 ft. piece of insulated copper wire to the positive side of it (the center, not the outside if the cable, that is the ground) It's just routed around the inside of the fairing and picks up radio stations from over 60 miles away, so I figure it works pretty well for what it is. There may be better ones out there, but for what I have, it works perfect.
A better way to splice into the factory wiring would be not to cut the wire. You remove a piece of the wire sheathing, split the wire apart, and run the new wire thru and wrap it around. You then use solder the connection and use water proof wrap tape.
Great, Great video! I'm not in any way handy, but this video has answered every question I've had regarding a Stealth fairing install. Thanks!
I liked the way you put the music system ..i have the same bike 1300
I mounted a batwing on my VTX 1800c & went with the BOSS marine stereo & speaker system with amp & the head cover, it’s water proof & has a UV protective coating for those days you can’t find any shade to park under. The marine stereo systems I think are better for this type of application simply because you never know when you might hit rain & why take the chance???
Where did you get your batwing for your Honda? I have a 2004 Honda shadow vtx1300 , will it fit mine?
Thank you very much, just finished my own installation with the help of this video.

Great video y’all thanks this help me a lot when I go to install my batwing on my bike
Nice job with your installation on your vehicle by the way I'm getting ready to do 1800 F model but I want to make sure it can be heard down the road can you add an amp to it
Question where is the antenna mounted at I didn’t see one hooked up
This video is so helpful, thanks! I'm curious though. Wont the stereo bounce around with just that bracket holding it? Seems like maybe a piece of foam or insulation wedged in there to steady it might help. What are your thoughts on that? Again, thanks so much for putting this together.
Thanks I'm going to get brave n do n install on my Royal star 1300...n you guys make it look easy so Im going to try it out
One VERY important point not made here is that you have to have SHALLOW speakers because the Batwing does not have much depth and you also need slimline grills. standard gills will extend past the bottom of the Batwing. I have had to do a lot of fabricating on the bottom portion of the speaker to fit.
I have 6x9 speakers for mine and they dont fit in the hole. I have to grind down the hole to make it bigger. Did you have that problem too?
nicely done sir.....been trying this same exact project

What about adding an amplifier with the speakers? Any videos on how to?
Can i use regular car speakers/stereo? What could i use for better bass? New to bike systems wanting bass with my sound, recommendations?

And the best part is, once you know this stuff, you'll NEVER be misguided again and pretty much be able to effectively investigate and answer your own questions! Happy adventuring!
I bought a bat wing for my 2005 Yamaha Rd. star 1700 and the stereo opening is very large. It is 5 inches wide by 9 inches long takes for 4 x 5“ speakers but when I bought a stereo for it the hole in the bat wing is too big. And the speaker holes will not accommodate a 4 x 5” speaker because the holes are about a half inch too big what would you recommend to install a marine stereo with four speakers with 6 inch speakers and what adapters would I need to make the stereo fit a hoe.
I already have a power supply that is turned on and off by the ignition switch, can I use a matching 2 prong connector and hook the red and yellow wires on the radio together to have power? That power supply powers a CB radio on the bike. How can I use that to power my radio? It is a 2 prong black and red.
I'm working on putting a stereo in my VTX with an aftermarket fairing. What mounting hardware did you use for the head unit?
Can you tell us exactly by color how the wires go on the battery from radio...completely diff from installing in car
What wattage radio and speakers did you install? Trying to install this week and everywhere online says I need 300 watts RMS each speaker (two 6x9s) which means i need a 600 watt RMS radio and all the radios I'm able to get are only like max 50 RMS x 4
Great video! Thank you it really helped me out-
Glad to help Tony. Thank you for the positive feedback!

So I'm having trouble I did everything in the video to the tee and I had the bike on not running so I could set up the radio and clock and all right and when to start my bike after only like 20 mins and battery was completely dead
Can I have the link to buy the fairing please
Where dose the black ground wire go? Because without a ground it will not turn on
Why did you not need an antenna on this radio?
My question is how do you hook up an amplifier to the system if you can
I'm getting a 2007 VTX 1300 will the batwing work on it I know yall have a 2008 vtx
Great video gentlemen. I am looking to add a batwing fairing to my 02 Shadow Spirit 1100. A couple of questions...1. I don't recall any information/comments in regards to an antenna for the radio? Assume you would get very little range without one?2. Can waterproof radios/speakers be purchased...and where?Thanks again.
+Jeff Hutchins You can find many motorcycle / boat radios and speakers that are weather proof. Tune Trapper makes an antenna that can be hidden inside the fairing. Ride safe & Ride Often!

Keep in mind marine speakers will have a water proof case around the back of the speaker that covers the magnet & can sometimes be larger than car speakers making them to large for the cut out so if 5.25 is recommended then 5.25 marine speakers will be to big
Best accessory on this bike is on the key chain. KFC rocks
Shoot my batwing from them I had to struggle so hard to reassemble it(put the 2 side back together) ..I ended up having to take it off my bike reassemble it them re mount it .
Have you updated any install with an amp?
What will be the preferred gauge of wire that should be used when installing audio in the audio fairing? i wouldn't want anything catching on fire.
if you are referring to the power wire then you want something that is 8-10 gauge.
What handlebar risers are you using?. I like those. I want a pair for my bike
We think they're stock. They were on the bike when the owner bought it.

Ok thank you.
Where did you run that remote wire. Couldn't see it.
I absolutely hate them butt connectors, I like solder only, them butt connectors last long enough until your memory is gone of what you really did, then boom , it stops working right, soldering doesn't take much longer, good solid no problem connection
Think I missed where the ground wire got attached. Do you just attach it to the frame somewhere?
He ran it to the negative post on the battery, but ground is ground is ground is ground. So you can run it to the frame if you like.
When picking out a unit and speakers do you have to pick a marine unit and speakers?
I would so that they are water resistant.

Just a quick note....well, first, THANK YOU for these vids...but now, on to my concern.
If you go by the moniker Law Abiding Biker, then why oh why are you allowing a criminal to bring a "HOT'' radio?
LOL LOL J/K
+Thomas NUNYA Thanks, we try to joke and have fun sometimes. Ride safe bro!
I was more upset about saying "hot and negative wires" lol as an electrician I dont like the mixing of terminology. "Hot and ground" or "positive and negative " lol
Wait..... what about the radio antenna???? how\ where did you mount the antenna??
The owner did not install an antenna.

When I put a batwing with a radio on my VTX I used a marine dipole antenna, plugged it into the radio then hot glued the legs of the antenna along the inside of the back half of the batwing. So far the radio reception is good and the hot glue has held nicely.
Search the words AM FM dipole antenna It looks like a capital letter T with a plug for automotive radios. Sold on Amazon or eBay or marine supply stores.
would a double din fit in that space if you cut it all out?
We believe it would.

You can always cut it. Just cut my fairing for a double din/gps unit. It now rest on the inner fairing where it arches for the headlight.
do they make these fairing for older Honda like the 750 k models I think that would look cool
+Lance Nielsen Not sure Lance. The owner brought the fairing to us to help him install. I'd suggest a google search. Sorry I cant help much more.
So i am thinking of putting Sounds system just like these...any chamce i can build by myself??
I'm sure you can. Soundz makes good products.

I've been looking at some marine radios to install... but I'd rather have a traditional radio and traditional speakers if I could. Will the water/ humidity damage the deck? Or speakers?
Yes, water can ruin standard decks and speakers. We would suggest the marine grade. Ride safe & Ride Often!

most good speakers are already water resistant...there are few speakers made with paper cone or dust caps...most are now made with poly, metal, or kevlar.

Great video Ryan and Kevin, question , is there a need for an in line fuse when installing the radio ? Thanks
Most stereos come with small fuse...back of unit itself...good luck bro
Mike BigEasyRider speedshifter88 is correct. The stereo had a built in fuse. If you installing one that doesn't, I would definitely suggest putting one inline on the constant power.
As a side note, fuse should be as close to the battery as possible. Solder and shrink tube is much better and safer than butt connectors.
getting ready to install on my 2006 vtx 1300c what gauge wires should I use for +, -, remote?
You should always use what the stereo or amplifier manufacture suggests.

how do you add
what kind of seat is that
what size are the speakers
I believe they were 5 1/4. Rick from LAB.
With the stereo and speakers install, does it shorten the battery life?
Can't say for sure, but i doubt it.
At timing 4:50, how can I find the hot connecting wire for Harley Davidson Dyna?
At timing 17:00, is it the yellow wire is to provide continue power to the stereo when the bike is switch off? So that when switch on the bike again, the stereo can remember the last setting or the clock timing, is it? Why don't stereo has a small battery similar like the one in the motherboard, or a memory chip, that will remember the last setting? When I change the battery every time, the last memory will be gone too... And does the continue power draw a lot of battery juice when the bike is switch?
4:10 - 5:18
Hot Wire for amp remote power that turns on/off with ignition switch.
What threw me off is when you accidentally let go of the positive battery wire and was going to plug to the negative
So this may be a stupid question but I am totally new to this. If you cut the wire and butt splice in the new wire (the wire that goes to the stereo) won't whatever was connected in the first place not work anymore? As in if you disconnect whatever was originally connected on the wire from the battery and use that wire to connect the stereo to the battery, than won't whatever was originally connected to the battery just be disconnected? And therefore unpowered because it's no longer connected to the battery the stereo is. Unless maybe you can put both those wires into the one butt connector so you've got battery power to the butt connector and then power from the butt connector to both the stereo and the original connection. If that's possible and that's what you guys did I must have either missed it or misunderstood.
your last guess is correct, they cut the red wire from the battery then twisted the radio wire to one side then but connected them back together so that red wire from the battery now powers the radio and the original connection.
what about the blue wire? what do you do with that?
If you don't have an amp ran with your stereo then you won't need the blue wire... the blue wire plugs into the remote outlet on the amp
my question is won't the radio kill the alternator
+Michael Glasgow Nope, no problems whatsoever. Doesn't take that much to power it.
@@RyanUrlacher I have a question I did everything that you guys did in the video and while I was setting up my radio with the bike just on not running to be clear when I went to start it after I set up the radio my bike battery was dead any reason why that might be cuz I had a brand new battery
I'm having a problem with my wiring, I got my positive and ground connected to the battery and the negative, stereo is on but now it doesnt turn off! I thought it would turn on and off with the ignition
You have to also connect it to a switch wire. For it to go off and on with the key.
is that a ebay fairing
Yes it is. The owner of the bike bought it off of Ebay.

What gage wire is that?
+Ant Banks We used different gauges. Which are you referring to in particular Ant?
The wire used for ground, trigger and 12v
I was thinking of using a set of the battery tender wires for the +12v and ground. Then adding single wire for trigger. Do you think this would be okay to do. The+12v woukd have a in line fuse
Move the headlight out ... The look of the bike will look better
Not our bike, but thanks for the comment. Take care and ride safe. Rick from LAB.
You didn't install an antenna
That is correct. The owner didn't want one.

I agree. would liked to have seen them at least address the antenna plus the wiring up of the last two speakers.
