Here is a somewhat simple fix for the scratched saddle bag lid. After I noticed the same problem, I got fed up with the "hunting for the cable, and my wife asking for me to "PLUG HER IN". I kept thinking she wanted me to plug her!!!!!!!!! In any event, What I did is to remove the speaker from the left pod, removed all the connections out of the hole already drilled and found that there was space to install the cable thru the speaker pod. Here is what needs to be done:
First, remove the small ring from the cover of the cable. It is the metal ring under the spring loaded cover. Remove the cover.
Then you need to remove about 1/8" of the plastic behind the threaded part of the headset to allow you to put this thru a hole you are about to drill into your speaker pod.I used a 3/4" bit. Sorry, didn't get a pic b-4 install, but you should be able to figure out when you look at the problem.
Then you need to decide where to drill the hole. I decided the most space is next to the "MODE" switch on the pod. You only have one chance at this, so make sure this works for you. Then thread the cable into the speaker pod, then replace the speaker connections. You have to force one of the big connectors, but it works. Then thread the end of the connection thru the 3/4" hole drilled, and put the cover and ring back on. This makes for a very clean install.
Before you do this, go the your dealer, and demand that the lid be replaced under warrentee. My dealer agreed with me and a new lid is on the way!!!!!!!!!!!!! They said everyones seuc had the same problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe the moco will think about spending $1.50 more to make this solution. My wife's dad always said, measure twice, cut once!!!!!!!!!!!
see enclosed picture to show where the cable was installed.
