good luck!!

gave the patch wires the "DK" H4 treatment (removed blades from housing)



buttoned up and tested for blowing fuses and such

Are your turn signals purposely facing outwards. Headlight seems to have good lighting.

yes sir, they are purposely facing outward. the output from the is quite good. those canopy roads and the animals are no joke. i used them as light to brighten up the sides of the road before i started in on the led headlights. it also helps in traffic. people see the road flashing when my signals are blinking.

Default pins!

swapped out the pins. picked some up at the dealer while getting even more odds and ends for the front end/rear wheels stuff






will take the bike out and test the brakes .. eventually. didn't feel safe rolling on those pitted pins.
