Removing headlight to access wires for GPS

Post by jimb47 »

I'm going to be adding the Zumo 660 to the bike. The wiring adapter states to remove the headlight to gain access to the auxiliary wires located to the left of the radio. Can anyone tell me how to remove the trim and headlight? I have a 2014 Voyager. Thanks for your help!

There is a screw in the 6 o'clock position on the underside of the chrome trim ring and then 3 screws are holding the headlight in place.

Thanks for the input. Do you know if there's anything else holding the chrome trim ring, like for aligning the chrome trim ring.

:woohoo: The GPS is installed and working through the bike's speakers!

:-( The bad news is I broke the little tab on the plug for the headlight. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be causing any problems with the headlight....but, then, I haven't gone on a ride yet. I think there's enough friction so the plug won't bounce off the bulb. I'll probably find out tomorrow when I go for a short ride to see how it all works together.

The length of the wires they provide seems excessive, but I guess it's better to have too much than not enough!

I still have to buy a micro sd card so I can add music on the GPS. I've never done that so it should be a fun!
