I'd like to take credit for coming up with this mod, but I'm just not that clever.  I got the idea and some directions off the forums at the  Honda Sportbike Network, where I believe credit has to go to 1sic954rr for being the first to do it there, and to YakSpout for the relay wiring post.  Also credit has to go to HondalGal over at FireBlades.org, I believe she was the first one to do it over there.  Like I said, I don't come up with this stuff, but I do plagiarize very well, just ask my high school English teacher ;-)

Just a quick disclaimer...  I make no guarantee, warrantee, or promise that you won't royally screw up you bike by following these instructions.  If you drill through your headlight, sorry but I'm not going to buy you a new one.  Take your time, measure before you cut/drill and use common sense and you SHOULD be ok, but like I said I'm not promising anything.  Hell, I don't even know what I'm talking about most of the time!

You'll notice that I have pics from two different bike, one is mine the other is my brothers.  This is my first tutorial of any kind so I didn't get all the pics I needed the first time around (or the second either for that matter) OK, on to the fun...

 

 

   

Finishing it up

  OK, now that you've got it all wired up it's time to put it all back together.  I wrapped everything up with a good quality vinyl electrical tape. 

Now put the faring back on the bike.  You will need that helper again.  make sure you connect the wiring harnesses and all the signals.  I would just get it on so that you can get the two faring bolts back in, and then turn the ignition on, and make sure all your lights are working. 

If you used LEDs for all the lights it's a good chance that your signals will flash fast.  The LEDs have less resistance then a incandescent bulb so the bikes flasher circuit thinks you have a bulb blown out.  You'll have to either add a resistor or pick up a LED load equalizer (I think Auto Zone carries them as well) and add it in to get the load on the flasher right.

If everything woks right (it's a miracle) and you used the relays you can use some 3M double sided tape to secure them on the inside of the faring where they can't be seen. 

Then just button everything back up, put some silicon sealant on the brow light sockets and enjoy!
