I have a 2000 FLHTC and just installed the removeable Tour-Pak hardware on.
My bike has the amplifier mounted under the Tour-Pak. The mounting plate in the docking kit has a cut-out but the amplifier would have to be relocated back about a quarter of an inch. Even with this change, there is no clearance to plug the amplifier into its harness.
I did a little looking around at the last "Bike Nite" and couldn't find another dresser with an amp under the Tour-Pak and according to the Repair Manual, the only time the amplifier is used is with a side-car and it mounts in the dash of the side-car.
The bike came with the King Tour-Pak and rear speaker pods on it. Other than upgrading the speakers and putting an amplified radio antenna in the front cowling, I haven't done anything else to the radio system.
Do I even need the amp?
It is no big deal to relocated it behind the docking plate, just wondering why I seem to be the only one that has the amp (other than those with aftermarket sound systems).
