TW-400 Installation

On a Honda VTX 1800

DB00

 

The Installation description and photographs were submitted by Hugh S. of Florida. The pictures were taken a little over a year ago, but we really appreciate that Hugh eventually submitted them.

Helpful hints:

1-It is not necessary to remove the gas tank. But it will help if you remove the rear mounting bolt, and elevate the back end of it as this will allow access to the frame under it.
2-Always use a solvent, or rubbing alcohol on any location you intend to mount a component with the Velcro of double-sided adhesive foam.
3-Soldering your connections, and insulating them with heat shrinkable tubing or electrical tape produces a neater job and it is easier to repair the bikes electrical wires if you ever want to remove the alarm in the future.
4-The wire locations used for this install are as straightforward as it gets, and should save you a lot of time and effort.

Number 2

Starting the install.
1- Remove the seat and expose the battery compartment.


2- Install the Speaker, and siren. Note that in Number 1, the speaker is mounted under the upper frame in the area between the engine heads with the adhesive reinforced with a tie wrap, and in Number 2 the siren is mounted to the hydraulic line just in front of the battery by tie wraps only.

3 Tthe antenna has been mounted in front of the front engine head with Velcro on the inside of the vented chrome piece (for illustrative porpoises the wire of the antenna is shown in white. It is also recommended that this wire be insulated to prevent any possible grounding that could effect its range. Use a piece of #18 wire insulation after the wire has been pulled out of it. A piece from a black wire will render the antenna undetectable in this location.

Number 4

4- Remove the right side cover and pull back the wire
Harness protector. This exposes the orange and light blue turn signal wires. Solder the two yellow wire leads to them as shown in Number 4. By piggybacking the wires you prevent any unnecessary cutting, and possible future failure of the original circuitry.

Number 5

5- Remove the left side cover and attach the ground wire under the bolt that holds the two wires with the yellow tagging on them. Number 5.

Number 6

Number 7

6-The ignition interrupt wires are put across the kick stand switch interrupt wire. This is located at the large gray plug that is located near the battery. Making sure you leave enough wire to do the job. Simply cut the Green wire with the gray stripe on it, and solder the pink and gray wires in series to it. Ill #6 & #7.

Number 8

Number 9

7- Now locate the black harness protector just in front of the right half of the battery and pull it back away from the connector. Number 8 Unplug the two halves of the connector and locate the red wire with the blue stripe on it. Using a small screwdriver to compress the connectors retainer clip. Pull this wire from the plug and solder the brown wire to it. Number 9 When doing this take care to apply too much solder, as this will prevent the reinstalling of the connector into the plug assembly. It may also help if you mark which socket you pulled the connector out of with a magic marker.

Number 10

 

 

8-The only thing left to do at this point is to place the control module in place under the seat the location in Number 10 worked fine for me with the addition of the blue foam piece for extra support.
