So im thinking of adding a flood light with an h4 conncetor and splicing it in to the healight by piggy backing it in to he bucket instead of cutting things up, can anyone maybe point me in the right direction?
Not sure if it was covered in the previous 196 pages-I can't remember.
I got tired of my glasses getting scuffed up in my saddle bags so being I already had changed my bag mounts to 5/16" u-Nuts and sockethead caps screws I grabbed 4 P-Clamps and mounted them with the bolts.
Now my glasses just hang by the arms, they're easy to find, and should keep from getting scratched.
This cost me a little more than I expected, the k&n a/f I got on flea bay was over sized not allowing me to install the breather bolts, so this one cost me 8 bucks for the hose an clamps, then bust out retail for the right filter! (its an se 1 throttle body).
Posted in the M8 thread as well, but I think it belongs here as well.
I know we ride expensive bikes and spend tons of money on mods and upgrades, but who doesn't want to save a little coin now and again? One thing I didn't like about my new SGS is the oil cooler not having much protection. I'm sure Harley would say "oh well we put it behind the fender". Clearly the agree a it could use more, and will gladly sell you a protection cover kit. So I decided to do my own.
Materials used - Metal mesh sheet (gutter guard), Gorilla Glue, Tin Snips, Whatever other tools you decide you need.
I took the metal mesh and cut it to size. Then bent it to the shape I wanted. Once it was in shape I glued it to the existing plastic piece on the cooler. I would suggest using a good 2-part epoxy over the gorilla glue. Painted the screen and black and good to go.
Certainly it's not perfect, but the few flaws are only noticeable up close and personal. Spent 5 euro on the metal, and had to buy the tin snips for 8 euro.
So I have an issue with the wind pulling my feet off the floorboards at highway speeds. I looked into getting a different set of boards but didn't want to spend several hundred dollars on rider and passenger boards. I went out and got some of the grip tape for the treads on a ladder and stuck it to my boards. Works like a charm and sticks well, so far they have sat out in the sun on several 80 and one 90 degree days and haven't had any issues with the adhesive peeling up, and I haven't lost a foot to the wind yet.
