TW-400 Installation
On a 2003 Sportster
XL Custom

The
Installation description and photographs were
submitted by Dennis P. of Portland, OR. 0n 9/25/05,
Great bike and thank you Dennis.
1.
This is a picture of the bike I installed the
TW-400 Security System on. It's a 2003 Sportster
XL Custom.
2. First I installed the Control Unit under
the seat. It fit perfectly by turning it on
it's side and sticking it to the crossbar at
the back of the seat with the mounting tape
provided on the unit. There is enough room for
the Control Unit and all the connectors and
coiled wiring to the other components. I connected
the brown wire to an accessory wire in a harness
under the seat. Thus eliminating the need to
route it up to the ignition switch. On the 2003
Sporty it's an orange/white wire. I connected
the pink and gray wires to the white/black wire
going to the coil as I was advised by my Harley
dealer.

Next I installed the Siren by sticking it to
the front of the battery case and running the
wires up under the seat. Then I coiled the unused
length of wire and tied it with a tie wrap and
positioned it in the empty space beneath the
seat.
4. The Speaker was the next thing I installed.
I stuck that to the inside of the frame at the
front of the bike just under the ignition switch.
Then I ran the wires back to the Control Unit
under the seat. I ran the wires along the existing
wiring under the gas tank and tied them all
together.

5.
For the LED I just nestled it between two existing
wiring sleeves going up to the handlebar controls
and ignition switch and secured it with a tie
wrap on either side of it. The reason I installed
it this way is because #1, it fit perfectly,
and #2, I didn't want to use mounting tape because
of the small size of the LED, and the fact that
the surface is rounded. I thought it might vibrate
off or something and didn't want to take a chance
on having a dangling wire while I'm riding.
I also didn't want to drill any holes in my
frame.
6. I installed the Transmitter Antenna next
and simply stuck it to the inside of the frame
just behind the seat, between the rear fender
and the frame. The antenna extends perfectly
without touching any metal, and it's not in
a place where it's inconvenient for getting
on and off the bike. The cable easily routes
to the Control Unit going into the seat compartment.
There is a considerable amount of cable to coil,
but it fits just fine in the space between the
oil tank and under the seat. |

7.
The Motion Sensor was the last unit to install,
and I used the Velcro pad supplied with the
kit to put it under the front part of my riders
seat. I stuck it to the underside of the seat
as I do have a custom seat setup but it should
work basically the same with the stock seat.
The difference is that my riders seat is hinged
to the back of my seat and is very convenient
for adjusting the sensitivity on the unit. Also
the Velcro comes in handy if I need to remove
the whole seat unit for any reason. I specifically
didn't mount anything to the underside of my
seat so that I could remove the seat without
disconnecting any of the wires or cables.
8. Last, I connected the Directional Signal
wires by splicing into the corresponding wires
in the harness under the seat. Mine were the
Brown and Violet wires. I don't know if all
or most Sportsters use the same colors, but
the 2003 models do.

Next I was ready to test the Alarm. I turned
the key to ACC 8 times. On the 8th time the
LED lit. I pressed a button on the LCD Transceiver.
The siren sounded once, and I was ready to go.
It was a very easy installation, just like it's
advertised. It works just like it's advertised,
and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to
protect their precious possession. Also, on
another note. I received it in the mail 2 days
after I ordered it because it was shipped Priority
Mail so that it would get to me as soon as possible.
I didn't ask for this. Internatrix did it on
their own. As a result, I would recommend buying
from Internatrix anytime for anything. |

our Customers say about our products
"I just received my
bike and I love my alarm. It does everything you advertise
it to do." Curtis Linthicum 3/22/05
"Well the TW-400 arrived today! The installation was a
breeze and 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
