Default Smoked out...

Changed all of my lights over to H-D LEDs, smoked lenses. Will have the H-D Daymakers on the front, as soon as my headlamp gets here mid-week or so.

All in all, fairly easy install. A few notes...
  1. Removing the stock Tour-Pak light assembly was a PAIN. That caulk was some seriously tough stuff to cut through/out. Jeebus...
  2. Others have already pointed it out, but the H-D Tour-Pak LED light assembly installation instructions don't quite jive with the template WRT the sizes of drill bits to use. Instructions say to go with the sizes as stated on the template, but then go on to reference different drill bit diameters. I went with the template sizes, as they were smaller than the instruction sizes and reckoned I'd error on the side of caution. Turns out that the template diameters were spot on.
  3. There was a terminal conflict between the H-D rear LED turn signals and the H-D rear fender tip light. Both can function as a run/brake. However, there is only one place to plug the "brake" wires into (pin 2 of the fender tip light socket). I've seen where others have spliced the turn signal and fender tip light "brake" wires into each other, then plugged into pin 2. I chose not to for the time being, and unplugged the fender tip "brake" wire from it's socket and replaced it with the turn signal "brake" wire. So, my fender tip is just a run light right now, while the rear turn signals have full run/brake/turn functionality.

Very pleased...love the "monochromatic" look now.

Looks great. I did the same thing with mine last year. Personally I think it really completes the look with a black and chrome bike.

Copycat!

Looks good. I also took my reflectors off and am getting the LED tail lamp bezel painted. The flat black plastic makes it look unfinished.

Thanks! Your scoot was major motivation to go this route. Agreed on the plastic. Next mod will be to get the inner fairing and Tour-Pak tail lamp painted to match. Soon as I can afford the down time, that is.

Thanks for the complement, btw.

Default Update

Got the Daymaker head lamp in today. Took all of 30 minutes to install the head and auxiliary lamps.

Now I've gotta wait for it to get dark so I can make sure they are adjusted correctly.
