Cave's HID install

[Gas Man]

So last winter I did an HID install on my Ultra. It has gotten rave reviews all year. Anybody that has seen it knows what I'm talking about. Mine was the proto-type. I don't know of anybody that has done the setup I have. Not with HID's in the aux lights and with full out timer delays to save on battery power prior to motor start up.

You have to order 2 sets of HIDs from DDM
1 - H4 hi/lo 55W 8K
1 - H3 35W 6K
1 - adjure aux light lens replacements
2 - wolsentech TDRs
1 - power block (8ga in: 4 outs)
6' - 8ga wire
2 - inline fuses (20A & 30A)

For his, he didn't need the leap of faith I had to. He knows the setup works. And for the record, Cave... "You're dead to me".

So here we go.


Tear it down


This needs to go


In here


Pull the seat and battery cover so you can run the 8ga wire to the front. This is a better setup. Giving you planety of battery power for anything you run in the fairing. In this case HIDs, and with one slot empty on the power block, his up coming hogtunes amp.


Run the 8ga wire under the dash and into the fairing...


Mock up with cardboard first for the panels to hold all the stuff for this HID install


We then mocked up with some thin galvanized cause he hadn't gotten his sheet metal yet.




Then work on blowing the 1" hole in the back of the stock HD buckets. This is a 3/4 in hole I drilled


Then I dremmeled the hole out to 1"


Got about half way thru the dremmel job


and figured I should pass this off to Cave... it's his bike afterall... let him make some sparks



Got some good fender sheet metal, transferred the galvonized templates over to that, cut out, trim some more, prime, paint... install.


Other side holds the headlight and one aux light ballast. The far end ballast is on top of the radio.


We started wiring everything, and of coarse it all was soldiered
