Pictures you say? Exhaust, HID, etc.

that is a sweet key. where did you get it?

Ha, should have put the narrative AFTER the pictures as most people go straight for the pics (myself included.)

Delta, I have a link to the website on my description right above the pics.

Decided to do a little cleaning up... a.k.a. Debadging the bike. Apart from the Buell logo on the air cleaner, I was tired of looking at the stickers all over the bike. Don't need decals to let me know what bike I have... plus if you can't figure that out by looking at it, well, then that's a different story.

Anyways, bike looks much cleaner now IMO. Take a look:

Bike looks awesome.[up]... but the key? Not my cup of tea.[down]

Next mod should be the levers... I opted for Pazzo Shorties and am please with the looks and functionality of them. Check them out!

Shorty black Pazzo levers w/ red selectors... been eye-ballin' them already. [up][up][up]

Bike is fairly new, so don't have a whole ton I hope, but I just washed it prior to taking the pics, so that coupled with the newness & camera angle prob helped. Thanks!

Got my ideas from Griots Garage, a locally based high end garage/car detailing business. Check out their products, top-of-the-line. Luckily it's only a 20min ride from my house. But I stole the ideas from them, great customer service on top of awesome products. Worth a visit!

Nice pics Maskido. Thanks! Despite the negative reviews, I still think the Jardine is the best looking slip-on for the bike.

I never considered HID lights. Now you have me thinking...

Acepilot...what spiderweb cracks? Being color molded plastic with lots of flex, I wouldn't expect any unless your plastics became brittle due to heating or something. I haven't heard of that happening yet.

Oh, and the skull key cracks me up. I would get a chuckle every time I rode it.

Debadging the CR looks ok but I prefer mine on. I see that you added a sticker on the tail. What's up with that?

Fire dept. Union sticker. Don't leave home w/o it!

That is a 'get out of traffic tickets' union sticker to be exact!

Some people call it that too, haha.

Maskido, I notice you have a Washington plate, where about do you live? I might bump into to you someday. I live in Federal Way.

I live in Graham, right off Meridian. Looking at the weather for tomorrow, looks like it's going to be nice around here!

So here are the pics of the H.I.D. lights I put in. Got the 55w slim ballast setup from DDM tuning. Couldn't believe how affordable it was ($70). Did both low & high beam. Wish I would've taken pictures of the whole process, but I was too anxious to have it done. One of my questions was regarding the wiring (which is + or -) so for those that may come across the same dilemma, here ya go: Low Beam: Negative (-) is BLACK, positive (+) is BLUE. High beam: negative (-) is BLACK/RED, positive (+) is WHITE. Also, as far as fitting the bulb in the high beam housing, all you have to dremel is the black receptacle for the high beam bulb, not anywhere on the headlight housing. So all you would need to replace if going back to normal bulbs is that small cheap replaceable piece.

Hi I have a CR I just orderd the HID kit for the high and low light could you tell me a little more info on what is required to do the high beem side, did i read it right that you modify the plug for the light? any help is apreciated I was involved on doing the low side on a friends bike and that was a pice of cake

 

[Maskido]

Yessir, hope I can explain this in text as I didn't take any pics during the modification process. Also this is not the definitive way of doing it but its how I did it & after several hundred miles, still works as it should.

When you get to the high beam side of the light, you'll notice the piece that you twist out in order to remove the bulb. This piece is the one you need to modify. First, unplug the bulb, disconnect the wires & remove the metal spring clip/washer thing. You should be left with a circular "cap." What you need to do is dremel/remove enough of the center so that the bulb back can pass through it. The one thing that threw me off was how to get that piece around the back of the bulb so it can hold it in place. My solution? I scored one edge, snapped it, opened up the crack, fed the wires through and viola! The same process for the metal spring washer thing. Once you have done all that, just position the bulb in place and use that modified cap to hold the bulb in place. As far as the electrical connection, I replaced the stock terminals with ones that fit the DDM connectors.

Clear as mud? lol, like I said, hard to describe in text, but hopefully it'll make some sense as you get the parts in hand. And like I said, this is how I figured out how to do it & it works 100% for me. Some others may have done it differently. Oh well, no skin off my back. Ultimately, all you're really modifying/cutting is that plastic backing piece that prob cost's a couple bucks. So even if you mess up, it’s a cheap mishap.

I should be receiving the 194 led bulb to replace the stock running/parking light any day now, so while I'm in there again, I may try to take a couple pics.

Feel free to ask any Q's and if anyone out there who has done this has an easier/better way to do this then feel free to speak up.

Good Luck!
