[Gas Man]

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.

[Gas Man]

No I didn't add all that... its some stock, some hogtunes, some hid, some windshield trim lights...

I'm surprised that any shop or HD themselfs would be that careless with wires. Is there any way that you can clean it up at all?

[Gas Man]

I did some after that pic. Some of the things were rubbing so I have to move a few things... Well the problem is so many wires need to go in so many different ways.... Its really more layered than the pic looks.

Yeh i see what looks to be 5 sets of wire installs? If that was me, I would start by buying a bunch of different color wires, wire loom plastic and some better than radio shack quality connectors, and just build the wire harness one wire at a time from scratch.

Anyway I would try and route it like this one main harness with a few legs comming off the main one:



If you build it from scratch yourself you can make the wires all length to fit, wrap everything in black plastic wire loom and it would look like a proffessional install. Again the mods themselfs are cool, just the insides need some staightening.
