This
time the installation of the TW-400 Security
System is on a 2001 HD Softail Deuce. Here is
a picture before the installation .Unlike the
94 HD Softail Custom, that was a little on the
tight side, this bike had ample space. The Control
unit is mounted under the seat along with the
Motion Detector, and antenna. The Siren and
the Speaker we mounted in the bottom of the
battery tray, the LED is on the frame in front
of the gas tank. |

Here
is closer view of the area under the seat where
the control unit will be mounted. Before starting
the instrument console and trim strip running
between the gas tanks was removed to allow access
to the ignition switch, and to wire the LED. |

Here
you can see the positioning of the Control unit
to the right of the battery. From here on the
installation is the same as on the 94 softail,
with the exception that the siren and speaker
were mounted in the battery compartment. |

As
before we taped the wiring harness next to the
control unit, because we did not want to apply
power to the alarm yet. Since we were going to
have to run the brown wire up to the key switch
ACC, we decided to run the red wire that goes
to +12VDC up there too, this would eliminate another
wire on the Battery Positive terminal. We checked
the wiring diagram for the ACC and then verified
that the terminal we choose received 12VDC when
turned to ACC. We connected the brown wire to
this terminal. The red wire we connected to the
terminal that was always +12VDC on the key switch. |

This
is a picture of the speaker and siren mounted
in the battery compartment. We then connected
the Black wire coming directly out of the control
unit to earth ground, This can be any good electrical
connection to the frame, we choose a bolt located
near the control unit. We then connected the
Black wire in the wiring harness to the battery
(-) Negative terminal. So far so good, we only
had 4 wires left on the wiring harness, two
yellow and a gray and pink wire. Next we decided
to connect the two yellow wires to the directional
lamps, one for each directional. Looking at
the wiring diagram we found the color of the
wires. To test that we had the correct wires
we stuck a safety pin into each wire and with
a short wire touched it to +12VDC to assure
the directional lights would light. |
|
We then carefully removed about a 1/4""
of the insulation on each the wires and soldered
one yellow wire to wire and taped it with electrical
tape. We could have used wireless connectors but
we felt this was a cleaner installation. If you
are not comfortable with soldering, or the thought
of stripping wires on you precious possession,
you may elect to have professional do these four
wires, although there is really nothing to it. |
We
ran the LED between the Gas tank and mounted
it with a small piece of double sided tape,
on the frame just in front of the gas tank.
We then put a small piece of black electrical
tape over the base to blend in with the frame.
We could have drilled a hole and mounted the
LED in the console, but we found this to be
more than satisfactory, with much less work.
Well, only a couple of things left and we are
all done.The Pink and Gray wire are next, the
Installation manual explains this pretty clear.
We found the wire that goes between the Ignition
module and the coil, cut it and connected one
side to the pink wire and the other side to
the Gray wire. Again, if you do not have confidence,
you can have this done by your local bike shop.
Next we plugged in the antenna and mounted it
with Velcro, next to the alarm, with the antenna
following the curvature of the rear fender.
Finally, we mounted the Motion detector on top
of the electronic ignition. That is all that
is to it for the wiring. |

This
is a picture of the final installation. Finally,
we plugged the wiring harness into the Control
unit, and were ready to test it out. We turned
the key switch from off to ACC 8 times, on the
8th time the LED lit, this was our sign to push
one of the buttons on the LCD transceiver. The
siren sounded once, we turned the key switch
to off and the installation was complete. All
that was left was to replace the console, pouch
and seat. |

it works and performs perfectly!! As a bit of a perfectionist
I have to admit that this unit is great!! The best
of all possible options! " J.H 9/6/05
"The
best thing about this whole experience is that I saved
around $300 - $400 or more and got everything I wanted.
Easy install took about 3-4 hrs and the pink and grey
wire was installed by the guys at my local bike shop
for around $20 bucks . This is the alarm to buy. I
wish you could read my first review I sent to this
site I was so pleased I sent it to the e-mail us instead
of the right a review . Don't shop anywhere else This
is it.." J. 11/16/06
