Default Fun in the Garage

Had some fun in the garage today!! All my parts finally showed up. Installed Fat Baggers 12" 1 1/2" pointed top bars, some HD passing lamps and a Roger's Unlimited garage door opener. Install for everything was pretty strait forward. My only issue was the wiring for the passing lamps. My CVO has LED blinkers and the HD passing lamp kit comes with turn indicators that use regular light bulbs. I was able to de-pin the OEM wiring, but they were too short and had to splice the wires to make them a bit longer. There was plenty of room for the wires in the pass lamp brackets too. The bars came with longer wires, a clutch cable extension and the stock brake line was plenty long enough for 12" bars. Hoping to take it out tomorrow and see how the the new bars feel.

Getting set up for the madness

LED turn indicator on the left

Took a while to figure out the de-pinning

Spliced the wire with solder and heat shrink

There's a lot of stuff under that fairing

Trying to stay organized

All buttoned up. Oh yeah!!

Still need to do a final adjustment to the lights

Garage door button. Replaces the 12V socket.

Looks good! Another fan of the solder seal connectors. Love those things.

Wish you would work like the rest of us. Fancy tables, with table cloths all laid out, tools neatly stacked and organized. Everything ready to go. What a sham!!!! Don't try to fool us!!! I'd like to see the tool layout when your done! Bet it's just like us...scattered and on the floor!!!
Kidding.... good job. I never get as organized like you, but I do have some bench space I put my tools on! And the connectors are a favorite of mine too. Also check out the posi-grip connectors.... got some with a light project from Custom Dynamics. Those are great for tapping into circuits as well.
Again, Good job!!
