Default Installed the Chrome Auxiliary Lighting Bracket Kit

I took advantage of a 30% off sale and installed the Chrome Auxiliary Lighting Bracket Kit (69227-04A) and bullet turn signals (69228-04) on my '10 Ltd. The install was time consuming but they look much better than the stock "towel bar" and orange turn signals. Also replaced the rear turn signals with the Bullet Rear Turn Signal Bar Kit (68615-04).

I got some good advice on this forum such as putting socks over the aux lamps when removing the outer fairing to keep from scratching it and putting a dab of grease on the torx bit to keep the lower fairing screws from falling into the triple tree. Also cutting a notch in a deep well socket to aim the aux lamps without damaging the wire.

Took me a couple hours to assemble the kit one evening and a few hours this weekend to remove and replace. The longest part was cutting and splicing and heat shrinking the 12 connections. The Service Manual is worth the money. I'm not much of a DIYer but I'm happy how it turned out.

The bullets all around look much better then the pancakes.

I did these same mods last year, and it looks 100% better then the stock stuff. It's pricey, but it looks great.

It was pricey, but at 30% off the front and 50% off the rear (on the clearance table), I had to do it. I also ordered the heated Hammock seat. My next round of mods will be performance enhancing.

Looking at doping similar at the rear, I have the detachable tour pak kit coming and want to "slenderize" the rear- also moving the license plate to under the taillight---kinda like the flhx

Nice Job, Mike
