So, I have to drive early in the morning with cagers that ain't awake. I notice the BMW guys are pretty damn noticable even if they're not wearing that "BMW Gay-Boy Lime Green" jumpsuit. They do have lights down low that makes them look different on the road.
I figured my bike is just one continuous project bike, so off I go to fab some lights.
I found a set of used 35 watt halogens with visors to match the rest of the lights on my bike. I have plenty of room in the chin airfoil even though I moved the horn in there last year.
I fabed a bracket and checked the spacing in a mock-up. I decided to mount the spin nuts to the new bracket and ride it on top (instead of under the existing mount as shown in the picture.)
Then off to make some holes for the lights to stick-out. Took lots of time to avoid cracks and get the holes right and leave some room for vibration.
I put a pig tail on the lights since you never know when you need to go back into the airfoil.
Then fabed a switch mount so I can turn them on when I want them. I though about tying them into the headlight circuit, but I've had problems there before. Besides, I don't trust the EHC to handle the extra 6-7 amps.
An in-line fuse and she's good to go. Here's the off and on look.
So far no problems and no vibration issues.
I suspect that now that the Dog looks too much like a Bimmer, the Jesters will make me ride at least 200 yards behind them. :roll:
