Apologies - dual headlight mod

[pipski]

Sorry for bringing up what I'm sure is a topic which has alrady been done to death on the forum, BUT....

I would like to carry out the wiring loom mod (re-adding the missing wire) to enable the 2nd fazer dipped beam headlight. I have already researched and read many "How to guides" and am ready to give it a try, but I'm no electrical expert and don't have access to the parts needed to make up the wire with the terminals required.

Many google searches refer to a user from this very forum, BD43, yet links seem to show the user no longer active, unless I'm mistaken, which is also possible.

So my question(s) is (are): Is BD43 still active? Does he still supply professional quality looms for this mod to paying customers? Would he send one out to me in the UK? Can anybody else supply a top quality loom for this mod to me in the UK?

Even better, if anybody in the UK can supply the loom and fit it for a paying customer, or if you know of a good garage who can, please let me know.

Thanks

I think motogiro in san diego makes this part.

I can't speak for whether he's still doing them, but within the last two weeks, he shipped one to South Australia for me!

Would he send one out to me in the UK?

Maybe, I just got one in OZ..

I have PMed Daryl this thread address, so I dare say, if he's still doing them, he'll contact you.

Cheers,
Rick

Thanks to both for the quick replies.

Looks promising then that I should be able to make some progress with this mod.

I'm not entirely confident about carrying out the work myself to strip down/remove the tank, air filter, battery and battery box but I wasn't confident before fitting my new exhausts either so nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Hi Pipski,
I am also electronically challenged. BD43 shipped one to me in the UK with great instructions. I did the install myself using just the tools from under the seat and the photo's in the BD43 thread.
It's easy enough to do just give yourself a bit of time.
My only tip, be gentle with the black flaps that cover the back of the bulbs. I pulled mine clean off with very little effort.
