1979 Cycle Sound enclosure part #1HHX5P

[rockher_man]

I found my 1979 Electra Glide FLH King of the Highway December 24th 2017.

Included was the original Cycle Sound enclosure. Complete except for brackets.

It's been sitting waiting for me to get around to fabing some brackets.

I haven't even opened the case yet. Finally got the Shovelhead sorted out.....

Looking forward to getting this mounted and working.....

Thats super cool, looks all original. What cassette deck is in there?

 

[rockher_man]

It's a good Ol' Craig cassette player and AM/FM stereo!.......

I have not tried to put power to it yet.

OK..... grabbed a picture. Hard to crop it to upload.

Nice, I have a couple Craigs, different models though. I know Cycle Sound actually sold a deck turnkey unit. I cant remember what brand they were. I know there was a Cycle Sound sticker on top of the deck with you removed it.

Been busy. Finally opened it up. Again.... previous owners hacks. Different screws
holding everything together. I cannot believe how tiny the wiring used.

Looks complete. I do have the original owners manual for it. Since my Shovelhead
battery is inside on a tender this will be a good time to sort it out.

Not much info on mounting bracket tho. Cannot find them in the boxes of parts
I got from the previous owner. Good winter project.

Will keep updating as I progress.

Did these use the top two windshield screws as some of the mounting points? And is access to the headlight adjustment blocked? I haven't had one of these around in a long time.

I'm not really sure. Somebody sent me a pic of two of the brackets supposed to work.
Opposite of the speaker grills there is two studs on each side on the back of unit.

I'll get some more pics up soon. Just getting acclimated to this thing......

I'm not really sure. I've seen brackets like these online before.

Once the weather warms up a few degrees I'm gonna take the unit out to the bike
and fit it up on the batwing fairing and get a picture. Right now it's 31* & breezy......
Suns trying to come out and it trying to snow some more. Crazy Michigan weather!

The previous owner swears the brackets are somewhere in the boxes of parts I got
with the bike. we He saved EVERYTHING! The ONLY thing I cannot find are the brackets!

These are the brackets someone sent me a picture of. Fairly simple. But I think there are
supposed to be four. Maybe two of each per side..... I dunno. Easy to make tho.
