After a crash course in soldering and a long painful week of a disassembled bike, the truwrapz and the fender light are installed and finally working appropriately. Pics will come as soon as the bike is completely together. Wondering of anyone knows a good LED bright bulb that I could use as the truwrapz DRLs make the yellow hue of the stock bulb painfully obvious. I can't spend the loot on a daymaker or a 200 dollar knockoff. Just want a white bright light to throw in there until I decide to pull the trigger on something more spendy. Suggestions?

 

I purchased the PIAA H4 extreme white, anti-vibration bulb for $35.00. made a huge difference. In my opinion, if they last, I won't be swapping to a daymaker. the brightness also matches the white LED turn signals from Custom Dynamics (which turn yellow when activated)

try that first before you spend real money on a headlight.

btw, welcome to the club.

 

Matte,
I was looking at the Carlini bars. Are yours 1.50 diameter? Also did you use the stock switch housings?

 

Very nice..

 

I went with the 1.5. But in hind sight I should have gone 1.25 to give my hand grips more play. Where I have my bars, they don't really fall into the indent for the brake oil reservoir.

 

What diameter is the riser clamping area and how did you get the switch housings to fit the 1.50 inch bars?

 

It rests a little outside the flat part of the bar. Just need to tighten it so it doesn't slip. The clamp area is 1 inch. There are some step ups you can buy. But I just bought a black 1 inch id/1.25" od black rubber hose, cut it to size, cut a slit down one side and used that. Now I have rubber mount handlebars

 

Did you have to do any new lines? Also I didn't understand how the switch housings fit a 1.50 diameter bar. Can you elaborate on it?

 

Also, did you get your taillight installed and working?

 

The end of the bars fit regular switch housings. The 1.5mm drops to the right size right before there the bar/housing starts. For the right side, there is a flat area where the oil reservoir sits in which under most conditions is fine. But I like my bike bars a little lower...so mine sits half in that flat area and the other half on the edge of it. Still works fine. Just need to play around with it.
