Alright so I decided to make this thread to get opinions on some things, and simply because I had a hard time with it. I had a hard time finding a DIY thread that showed in detail what I needed to know. So Ill start where I started.
First off, my bike:
2005 Buell Lightning XB12scg
-Hawk Performance Exhaust
-Renthal ultra low bars
-2010 Black Side rails
-Original Buell Carbon Fiber, Mixed with ASB carbon fiber (which matches the Buell carbon pattern)
-Axle Sliders (with special Thanks to Anrkizm95)
Ive always prefered the look of the firebolt front and finally decided to do it when I came across a fairing and headlight assembly at a good price thanks to Jakestolar.
So my project began.
I used this thread to get a good understanding of what to do.
S to R DIY
I began Just like he did.
Everything went well until I got to the part with connecting the R headlights to the S main harness. This is the main reason Im doing this thread because this is where I was caught up.
What I did, the easiest way, was cuz off the connector from the R headlight.
and cut the connector off of the S main harness. Once you have this, you will see 3 wires coming off of the R lights. Black = Ground, Yellow = low beam, White = High beam. There should be 4 wires coming off of the S wire harness. Black = ground, White = High beam, Yellow = Low beam, and Orange = Running light. I connected crimp connectors to all of the 7 wires. 4 male and 3 female.
Now, in order to get the correct sequence of one light on for low beam and both on for high, you do this.
From R to S, black to black, white to white, and yellow to orange. There will be a yellow wire left over from the S harness, this is not needed and can be capped off.
With all that said and done the rest is plug and play, I had to relocate my horn in order to make room for the blinker switch, but other than that everything else works.
Im still waiting on my bars to come in, so Ill have pics of that when they do. But here it is.
I had the fairing buffed out and bought a carbon fiber windscreen and carbon fiber headlight bezels (which are coming in on friday with my bars).
Now I am debating wether or not to keep the lightning cheese grater or not. opinions?
This was my biggest build on the bike yet and I wanted to thank everyone for their help finding parts. Id also like to thank Freak2180 for the wiring help, and Wolfo68 and oh9bolt for their help as well.
