Title: 2021 CVO amp. WARNING!
Post by: rob 62 on June 09, 2022, 07:03:44 AM
Mine came loose multiple times over the past year. Techs just stuck it back in place, literally. After a few rides without opening the lid I recently went to grab something and found the amp dislodged yet again. This time there was grindings and gouging on the inside of the bag. Another couple of miles and this thing would have busted right thru. Time for me to reengineer Harley's amp mounting idea of double sided tape. And a shout out to Shoreline H.D. for no help at all.

H-D had this problem before a few years back with the amp coming lose and wearing through the bag and it was covered under warranty for a complete bag replacement.

This thread helped me resolve my issue. You have to use the 3M Adhesion Promotor.

I took mine out and used gorilla glue double sided tape in place of the double sided tape.  Put at least 3k miles on it since and 0 movement.
