Swappin out the Ultra mirrors for the cleaner look of the SG mirrors.
Old: http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX014.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX013.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX015.jpg With the provided template it really was easy. used a paint marker to help set it up... then bust out the drill... AGAIN. YIKES! http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX041.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX042.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX043.jpg Then simply thread on the nut... DONE! http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX052.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX051.jpg Installed the HD security II system http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX032.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX033.jpg Really don't get any easier than that. Tnx HD. Now the bike will siren when its disturbed and page me. Now on-ward to more frustrating things... The HID install. a 8K 55W H4 hi/lo headlight bulb a set of 6k 35W 880 spot light bulbs Pull the outer fairing http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX016.jpg Pull the stock H4 out http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX018.jpg The hi/lo H4 HID bulb http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX019.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX020.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX021.jpg Remove the tip cover cause my headlamp already has one http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX022.jpg Modify the stock hd rubber boot slightly... but HID bulb installed http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX023.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX025.jpg Putting the stock bulb in this case the HID came in as on "on road" repair for "just in case". http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX026.jpg |
Well looking at the number of battery powers I need in the fairing... 1 for the hogtunes amp, 1 for the headlight, 2 for the spot lights. I decided I would make a mod. Run some car stereo 8 gauge power wire from the battery to the front fairing. Then a 4 spot fusable power distribution block. This will be supplemental (read: overkill) to the inline fuses for each item.
To get this power block, 3 ballasts, and a hi/lo converter in the fairing. We don't want them bouncing around. Brackets are needed! Some flat sheet metal around the garage... made some cardboard templates and poof. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX044.jpg Some spray paint for anti-corrosion http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX045.jpg Mount the hi/low converter on the back (this is for the headlight) http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX048.jpg Power block on the front http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX049.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX050.jpg Right side for the 3 ballasts http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX046.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX047.jpg This is about when I ran into problems...when I purchased the HID kit, the company said the 880 bulbs would fit in my 881 holes. Lets see how that goes... Stock http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX027.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX028.jpg Comparison http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX029.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX031.jpg Oh no Scooby... the new one is a bit longer. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Mods2KX030.jpg When I try to install into the spot lamp, its about 1/8" too long. It hits the inside of the lens before I can spin/lock the bulb into place. I have placed a few calls and an email into the company to see how we continue from here. I will still have to work around how to wire them into the spot housing. But can't worry about that right now... Stay tuned... |
Holy shit man, you are going to spend as much on accessories as you did on the entire bike.

Looks good brother...aside from beat ass customer service from a fucked up headlight company. FUCK THAT SHIT.

Good stuff there, looks like enough to keep ya busy for a while.
my fun starts next month my ohlins 25mm cartiges just shipped yesterday. Sending them to a buddys house since hes going to do the swap for me, but am on my own installing the rear shock. karen ordered my race plastics from optimal so hopefully they arrive next week and can get them out to be painted. for the priller I can finaly by the new voltage regulator and swap that out, replace the left hand rearset that I broke on last years getoff on the skyway. take my soon to be newfound knowledge on forks and replace the front springs and pick up a new rear shock. Prolly either a penske or a wilbers. Sadly due to time and money constraints the buell wont be getting any love this winter, just dont tell marko :lol: |
