How To Install Amplifier Bypass Harness

American Hard Bag Amplifier Bypass Harness

Front Amplifier Bypass Version

Front plug & play signal adapter required in conjunction with this part when using this harness.

This harness works hand in hand with our standard 2014-Up Harley Plug & Play Adapter for Aftermarket Amplifiers. The front plug and play signal adapter will give you RCA outputs to connect to your aftermarket amplifier or sound processor while also presenting a resistive load to your factory radio. The resistive load increases sound quality and allows you to use the entire volume range of the radio without distortion.

Installation Notes:

Bikes with Factory Harley Amplifier in Saddlebag

1. - On some amplified bikes that have a second factory amplifier located in the left saddlebag the rear speaker signal might not be available in this plug (front amplifier bypass harness). On those models the rear speaker signal for the saddlebag lids will need to be grabbed at the radio harness and will require splicing for the rear speakers. The front speakers though will still work with this plug. On these models do not connect the rear speaker output of your amplifier to the rear speaker pigtail on the bypass harness.

2. - Our saddlebag amplifier bypass harness is also required in order to bypass the rear amplifier on these models. The saddlebag amplifier bypass harness will connect the signal circuits coming from the front of the bike (either at the radio or at the front amplifier bypass harness) to the lid speakers, Eliminating the need for new aftermarket speaker lines and saddlebag disconnects to be run from the front of the bike back to the bags. Keep your factory saddlebag connections!

Installation Notes:

* Will not work with factory amplifiers located in the right side saddlebag.

* Requires a connection to be made at the front of the bike either at the radio or at our front amplifier bypass harness.
