holy crap man, you've definitely been modding the crap out of things.

I'll be lucky if I get the bar risers and SS brake lines on my bike before spring

those are some nice goodies. I hope to do a lil to my new scooter next month

Gas Man · 03-02-2010, 11:04 PM

Thanks gents.. more to come.

Well I finished up all but the Nightster's lower fairing cover things...

Buttoned up the HID wiring...

WOW that is some wires... even before I added the HID, not its just OMG

Fusey fusey

Test...

The headlight comes on about 30secs after the key is turned on. Then about 2 secs later the spots.

Finish bolting up the fairing... and test again..

Key on

The coloring is PERFECT IMO (but perhaps not protrayed well with these pics)

Then I finished the blackberry hook up by running a headphone jack wire...

Hooked into the stereo when in use

When not in use

To the phone

When I need power.

From my cig power

Bunched the wire to shoren it... decided shrink wrap made it look better

Then velcro wrap it to the bars.... probably only this way on longer trips

Lastly...
Stock grips

some Grab On grip covers...

With crampbuster

or not

Just need to adjust the lights and see how they look on the street.

Are all those wires stuff that you added? You might wanna clean that up and maybe build it into an actual wire harness. It shouldn't be hard to make into one loom that wraps around one side of the fairing and connects everything. I would just be scared with that many wires hanging around that one would wear through over time and possibly spark or even worse catch fire.

That being said, in't it great to have a cig lighter outlet on the bike. i've been thinking of adding a 2nd one in my trunk.

Should be noted... here's the products I was using..

DDM all digital HIDs with Lifetime Warrenty

Wolsten Tech - Time Delay Relay (Dan is great to deal with for any questions with wiring)
http://www.wolstentech.com/products/...delayrelay.php

Grab On Grip Covers

Kuryakyn Universal Handlebar Accessory Mount

Then besides the cheap phone case, the rest of the parts were HD.

Looks good man. Nice work.

Gas Man · 03-04-2010, 12:09 PM

Problem is derf... room! Be surprised... even those little TDR's had to get moved... Right now I want to shake it down... once I determine there are no problems and its solid I may get back in there and do some more work...

What I failed to post a month ago

Well I thought I was done but decided to add a few more items to the wife's bike.

Custom Dynamics Street Magic LEDs in the tail lights and front blinkers.

The Nightster comes stock with red lenses.

Last year I changed them out for smoked out and couldn't find red 1157 bulbs locally. Tried some reds off ebay and they sucked, so ended up with the red "socks" over bulb.

They function ok but look like poo

So lets make the change. Now with these newer electronics you have to put in a load equalizer, due to the less draw that the LED lights pull. So a trust worthy version is BadLands. More specifically the 3rd version specifically for the XL.

So here's what we have to install

Pull the seat and locate this harness plug

Unplug and run the equalizer inline

Tuck in and push wires back into place

Pop the lens off with a flat screwdriver

Pull the bulb out

Plug in and twist into place with a screwdriver, just as you would with the bulb

Turn the LED board to spool the wire to allow the board to fit, use the lens to hold them in place. Takes 2 hands.

BAM

Repeat on other tail light.

The fronts also came with the orange lenses, that I replaced with smoked and orange bulbs

These looked fine and worked good. However, if you do the rear, got to do the front to keep up the look.

In goes the LED

BAM
