Default After-market Fairing Wiring???

I have a 98' Road King Classic that I am in the process of adding a Reckless Faring to - ( I bought just the shell so there was no wiring or wiring instructions that came with it)

For those who have added an aftermarket fairing to their Road Kings - how did you wire it in?

I have an Alpine head unit, Alpine KTP-445 amp and Polk MM691 6x9's going into the fairing. (I am making a quick disconnect that will be hidden under the headlight assembly)

If I run a fused constant hot to the positive battery post and the grounds to the negative post what do I do with the ACC wire?? Would I splice it into the fused constant going to the positive battery post or run it somewhere else and why???

Also, if someone has a wiring diagram / intruction sheet that came with their pre-assembled fairing that they would be willing to share that would be much appreciated -

Thanks for the reply! I'll check out the HD harness ...

Does anyone see a problem with running the acc to the battery without an in-line fuse? I just found a few old post about some that were splicing the acc to the ignition switch under the tank console. Is there any advantage to this?

Default Wiring Harness

I bought a harness from Dead Center firing and it works perfectly.

Did you buy it with the fairing or separately? I went to their website and did not find anything.

the fairing I put on my roadking was a wide open customs and same scenario.

There are a few different ways to get power where you need it but your specific question can be answered by looking at the harness that plugs into your headlight. A few inches back from the headlight on the harness is an orange/white wire that is not used and taped up around the headlight harness. This is accessory.

I bought it separately. I called them and asked for the harness only and they sold it to me.
