Thanks for your feedback Johnny! Now that we have all models for the new Harley-Davidson models filmed, DSR1 is 1 of 4 videos we'll be producing in the coming weeks.
There are battery connections that need to be made for the amplifier illustrated in the video. If you have excessive noise, be sure the radio is flashed and your using the Amp Tuning Guide here: rftech.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1355
Yes, this is compatible with the 2023 Road Glide Special. We have this listed in our Compatibility Chart here: rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/hd14-stg2/
Bought the stage two kit for my Roadglide mounted and plugged everything up and there is no power to the amp. Powe cord is hooked up to battery but there is no light signal on Amp. Need help.!
Hi Michael, there are a few things we need you to check on the install and therefor recommend contacting our technical support when you have the bike in front of you. They can be reached at 1-800-669-9899 Mon. - Fri. 8am - 5pm MST.
Great question! Since this system gets all 4 channels of audio signal from the radio, you can keep it in 4-channel input. This way, if you ever add rear bag-lids, you don't need to adjust the switch. Keeping it in 4-channel input (only the front channels are connected to speakers) does not hurt anything.
We got the framework dialed-in for the video, but are awaiting a software update to make the install seamless. We may need to proceed and do an update later...
6:50 shows where I'm plugging the front/rear speakers to the amplifier's output connectors. I'm plugging them directly into the amplifier outputs, but you can also use the black Y-Adaptors. Simply plug one Y-Adaptor into each of the amplifier outputs ... plug the front harness into one of the front outputs from the Y-Adaptor and the rear harness into one of the Y-Adaptor rear outputs. This will give you room to add front lowers and/or rear saddlebag speakers in the future.
I know that i am late to this party. But i just spent the money and let someone know what to do to do the work. I have a 2017 ultra limited four speaker system. Some days i have one or two radio stations that are has static. Some days it dont. It is clear sound. But i have to cut it more than half to get a good sound. Also, my next project is to get the saddle bag lid speakers.
@@stolnpckup We have the STAGE-2 for Ultras that includes an 800W amp, wiring kit, front 6.5” and TourPak 6.5”: rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/hd14u-stg2/ which would take care of your loudness issues and the PMX-HD14 add-on radio that has a great digital tuner: rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/pmx-hd14/
@rockfordfosgate I bought the stage two kit. It included the four speakers and a eight channel Amp. The dealer said, that I could have up to eight speakers on that one Amp. I am just going to go with six.
Great Question Kris! Yes, the kit comes with a 4-channel amplifier, so you simply would add the TMS69BL14 saddlebag kit when you're ready. Literally nothing on this kit would need to be reconfigured or changed to add the saddlebags at a later time.
Could you specify at what timecode you're referring to? These are the 2 I'm showing in the installation: • 0:55 - removing the battery negative • 4:12 - use a 9/16 wrench & socket to remove the plastic retaining bracket that holds the existing harness. You'll route the amp B+/GND harness through this plastic retaining bracket, so it holds both the factory harness and our new amp B+/GND harness.
@@paigeandbaileycampbell6968 Yes, absolutely! This holds your forks in place and should be tightened securely! I only show removing this because you can't get our B+/GND/REM connector through the plastic retaining bracket. If you don't feel comfortable removing the bolt to access the plastic bracket, then disconnect the (red B+/black GND/blue REM) from the connector, making it easier for the wires to get through the retaining bracket. If you already removed the bolt: 1) Route the wire through the plastic retaining bracket. 2) Route the harness through the forks up to the amplifier location. 3) Replace the plastic retaining bracket on the bolt and replace the nut to secure everything in place.
Yes, Harley-Davidson changed the cable type used for the CAN-BUS system. If you're a dealer and have the Techno Research hardware, a newer adaptor cable is available from them.
@@paigeandbaileycampbell6968 Yes, the main difference is the plug used to flash the radio is different. Be sure when contacting your dealer to make sure they have the new 2021 Plug for their TechnoResearch flasher. We have a list of authorized dealers that can flash here: rftech.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1344/
After install, I have a static or white noise, even at no volume. I assume this is a ground issue somewhere. Any helpful advice where to start? In addition to the amp being hooked up to the battery terminals, I also have a connection for my light kit. Should they all not be connected using the same bolts for positive and negative?
(1) I would immediately start by disconnecting the light kit since that can cause noise in the line. (2) Disconnect the inputs to the amplifier. Use the RCA input harness that was supplied with the amp and cut the 4-pin connector off. Make a shorting plug by twisting the (+) and(-) together for the left channel and doing the same for the right channel. Move the input switch to 2-CH and turn the system on. There should be no noise. If you are having noise, I'd contact our technical support because you'll have a lot of things to check from here on out. They can be reached at 1-800-669-9899 Mon-Fri 8am - 5pm MST.
Thanks for your feedback Michael, the Female BLUE/WHITE is the "Amp Turn On" that is used with a DSR1 signal processor. You'll connect the BLUE wire attached to your amplifier's power harness and connect into this female BLUE/WHITE wire instead of the motorcycle's factory connector.
I am utilizing the dsr1. I used the solid blue wire coming out of the rem terminal to plug into that empty 12v plug on the brake side like you showed in the video. Is there another plug that maybe I’m not seeing?
@@michaeljentile4176 I misspoke earlier and edited my reply above. If you were NOT using the DSR1, you would connect the solid BLUE to the factory connector as shown in the video. Since you ARE using the DSR1, connect the BLUE wire into this female BLUE/WHITE wire instead of the motorcycle's factory connector.
Does any one know why the system will act up after the Automatic Volume Control has been engaged? I am asking because my system hasn’t performed the same ever since that feature was activated once. Any help will be greatly appreciated it.
@@walterguerrero8115 While I'm not sure what's going on in the radio software, I suspect this may be the issue. If you turn off AVC, does the radio operate as expected?
The system, does not sound as loud as it used to? Out of the blue the quality of sound and loudness decreased it did not go back to normal. If my bike does not get used for a long time (couple of weeks) the system sounds loud for the first few minutes, then it drops and doesn’t go back to normal. Any suggestions? Ive gone back to the dealer that installed it and I’m being told everything is ok. I know I’m not crazy 🥺
Hi Walter, Assuming you have the exact same system as shown in this video, the HD14RGSG-STAGE2 right? How long ago did you have this installed? Did you do any software updates to the factory radio? Did you take the bike to the Harley-Davidson dealership for service? If not, it may be necessary to inspect the harnesses at the radio plug and at the amplifier.
@@walterguerrero8115 Thanks for this information? Can you elaborate on what was "updated". 1) Who did the "update". An independent audio shop or a factory Harley-Davidson dealership? I'm trying to figure out if they attached a Techno Research VCM-TR4 or the Harley-Davidson DigitalTech flasher to your bike. 2) What was actually "updated" (added lowers, added tourpak, or added saddlebag speakers) to the existing HD14RGSG-STAGE2 kit? 3) Was the factory radio software updated at all?
@@rockfordfosgate The update was done to the infotainment system, and it was done by the Harley dealership, that system itself has not been updated, in other words there has not been any more speakers added to the original scent of jester faring speakers with the Amp
At 5:38 we explain "We offer this FREE amp tuning guide that's available in the description of this video and this kit's product details page". The link in this video description goes here: www.rockfordfosgate.com/rnt/rnw/docs/1355/harleyamptuning_2014_rfk-hd14.pdf Why do we do this? Because the amp settings are subject to change based on possible updates to the Harley-Davidson radio software, which is out of our control. So, if the software forces us to make changes to the tuning guide, we don't have to trash an entire video.

If I’m only running the 2 fairing speaker do I set the channel to 2 or leave it on 4?
