Just received and mounted the Reckless Fairing with full Infinity Bluetooth audio for my Fat Bob. Wiring instructions were limited and I'm inexperienced when it comes to HD wiring. There are to wires for positive and one for negative. Has anyone had experience with this particular fairing? The instructions say "Wire the Red wire to your battery negative, and wire the Yellow and Green wire together to your battery positive. These units will not work wired to the ignition"

Without cutting the wires that are physically connecting to the battery, is there a simpler way that will tap into a power source and still work? Thanks!

 

easy stuff and you shouldn't have to cut anything.

what year is your fatbob please?

 

Thanks! It's 2009. I had intended to tap into a constant with one of the wires an switch power off the accessory fuse, but the instructions led me to believe that wouldn't work. Appreciate the response

 

Also should mention I wanted to avoid wiring directly to the battery terminal if it can be avoided. Seems to be specific to the infinity bluetooth units, but I'll do it if I have to.

 

sorry been in dentist office.

According to reckless you have the following

red, yellow, green wires

green goes to battery - or any good solid ground source such as the frame
red goes to battery +12v (this is what retains your memory in the headunit)
yellow goes battery as well in their installation scenario but the way you want it to work, this wire needs to go to an ign source that its on only when the ignition is on. so connect this yellow wire to the fuse in this picture labeled cust ACCY. when you put the bike/key in accy position the radio will come on as it should.

 

if you want to wire directly to the back of your ign switch since it's right there then

green - this needs to go to good clean ground source such as frame bolts, etc.
red - connect to red wire on back of ignition switch
yellow - connect to red/grey wire on back of ignition switch

 

Awesome. Thanks! Really appreciate it.
