sandblaster:
Yeah, everything was labeled.
It's a good thing too because when it comes to wiring, if it can be messed up, I will mess it up.
I won't bore you with the details but let's just say that when I turned on the left turn signal, the right indicator light came on :-(
Guess what happened when I turned the right turn signal on....
alward25:
Orange wire/ blue wire, sounds like an easy fix
sandblaster:
It was the little red and black wires that connected to the orange, blue, and black wires :-o
But then you knew that :roll:
sandblaster:
I went down to my favorite bike shop (Next to my own) http://www.procycle.us/
I picked up a rear brake light, marker light, license plate holder, and LED turn signals.
Here's what it looks like installed on the bike:
I wired it all up and here is the results.
Running light:
Brake light actuated by the front brake lever and the Rear brake lever via hydraulic pressure switches:
Left turn signal:
Right turn signal:
These turn signals are very flexible which should come in handy with the way I ride :-)
Now I need to get the correct battery, make a box, and mount it in the air box.
More to come so stay tuned :-)
sandblaster:
Testing the battery fitment.
Looks like I got lucky :D
It is a Shorai Lithium Iron battery, 12Volts, 60 w/Hr, a/Hr 14, CCA 210, weight .663 Kg, 1.46lb, MAx charge rate 14A, P/N LFX14A2-BS12
I wanted a little smaller battery but this will do nicely and fits better then I could have hoped for.
Note: this battery is just sitting in the box.
I will still need to build some mounts to hold it firmly in place.
