I think it's been mentioned here a few times, but didn't see a "How To" for it. So here goes. First off, the end result. Things you'll need: Weatherproof USB Port (feel free to buy it elsewhere) 2 - M6 x 16mm bolts 2 - M6 - 1 nuts Drill and drill bit or dremel Wire cutter/stripper...

Yeah, it's probably because of the way I did my wiring. Everything is pretty far forward. Either way, you can save the fuse holder and the wire that's still attached and reconnect it later. That's why I didn't cut and modify the wires any. Even if the battery wire had reached, it has the...

Btw, if you plan to use a fuse panel with your retro kit, you'll need to modify the wiring harness. For one, the fuse panel will probably take bare wire, so you won't need the battery post clamp. You also won't need the inline fuse. Lastly, the wire that goes to the battery is too short to...

It took a while to get the last set of parts in, but I'm ready now. I ordered a fuse box to hook all my accessories up with since the battery post was full. The new bulb and 50w ballast arrived also. Here are the comparison pics as promised. Wish I had a light meter to determine that exact...

I ended up not painting anything in my stock housing. I use the stock reflector to glow blue with the CCFL I put behind the projector. Just waiting for a inverter connector to wire it up permanently. If you wanted, you could put in an Angel Eye behind the projector instead and use that as a...

I have a Madstad adjustable windshield. I do like the adjustable part, but it is kinda a pain to get it just right. There are 8 adjustment bolts that have to be tightened and loosened and not much room to do so between the shield and the mounting plate. I took the windshield off to adjust the...

Here are a few shots of the headlight with everything on. Noticed that the inverter for the CCFLs was hanging loose before taking it... Apparently magnets are a bad way to mount it. Just another thing to put on the to do list.

Ah, okay sounds like I need to do the same. I was thinking about cutting a slit for the wires, but didn't. Guess I need to do all that. Ah well, off the fairings will need to come again. Might wait till I get my auxiliary wiring kit and handle bar switch. Right now I'm going to go finish...

Do you guys get any fogging inside your headlight casing? I finished with my mine last night. Just kinda jury rigged up the extra lights for now. Anyways, rode to town and back to test out the headlight and the gem completely fogged over and there was some fogging of the lower section as...

Thanks, Chaphil. Yeah, the halo is just reflecting off the lens. Dunno if it'll do that when the headlight is on. So far I've just hooked up the extra lights on my test battery, not on the bike. I need to run a wire back to the battery for them since the harness didn't include any accessory...

Thanks, linkgt and Nate. The blue light is a cold cathode tube from an 80mm fan. I was originally going to light up the gem with a tiny cold cathode as well. You can get them from 120mm dual light fans, but it was too big and I broke it attempting to force it. I did take pictures of the...

Thanks! Looks kinda like the leds in the gem are a bit dark compared to the blue cold cathode in the reflector, but nothing I can do about that. It glows blue way better than I thought it would from testing it. Doubt I can run the cathodes all the time like I thought I could. Might wait till...

Well I make a mess every time I use that silicon, but making progress. Here's a preview! I wanted to finish up tonight, but have to be at work at 3am. So it's bed time.

Sounds good, just let me know when.

Just go quad pipes, straight from the headers. It'd be unique.

That Triple looks sweet, but he would need a full fender to keep his back dry. But I doubt a bike like that would be ridden during anything but perfect weather...or ridden onto a trailer to carry to a show. Definitely not a touring or commuting bike, like I have mine setup. Yellowfz, if you...

You might be able to start one up, drum up interest. Maybe start a new thread and link to the results of this one. I think you can link to single posts. I'm still working on mine. Had a lot of setbacks. Just FYI, those cold cathode tubes don't bend...even a little bit. The small one that...

It sucks about your accident, Stranger. Your hugger was coming along nicely. Yellowfz, yours is pretty sweet too. If I had that one I would totally mount my license plate to it. Right now my plate is mounted to the swingarm on one of those curved brackets. How heavy is the whole thing...

Yeah, the inverter they sent looks like it supports 2 ccfls. The dual ccfl fan came with an inverter the runs both of them. Even the 80mm ccfl fan came with a dual inverter. I guess it's just standard practice. I've been doing some research and probably won't hide the inverters inside the...

Oh well right now I'm waiting on the other shroud to come in. Should be tomorrow hopefully. Btw, how did you guys wire up your ccfls? I'm thinking I should run one wire from the battery and split it off from there. Too bad I can't hook into the wiring for the hid. That would cleaner. I...
