WOW. That's insanely great. OK. So I'm definitely going to be looking into this over the winter. Plus, projectors increase the "angry alien face" aspect of the front of the bike, and I sort of love it.

I've definitely come to the conclusion that my best bet is to leave it alone for now until I can do the HID upgrade properly.

Wow that HID project looks intimidating...but will ultimately give me exactly what I want with a nice safety boost as well. That may be my winter project. I might just leave everything stock-ish for the time being and save my time and money for that.

It was already modded, actually. The previous owner had two "H4" HID lights, by which I mean the bases were both H4 sized. If I used two H4 bulbs and two H4 sockets, would the wiring I described work? Or am I doing something electrically dangerous?

+1. I would love this, as I slightly hate the clutch pull on this bike

I've read about the mod one of the members here came up with for having working hi and low in each light. As far as I understand it, his mod does not cut into anything, correct? It's designed to work with the stock setup without cutting? Thing is my stock wiring harness was already hacked up...

Thanks to this thread I was able to quickly wire up my rear with the Motodynamic light and some Bikemaster supermicrobright whatever-the-model-is and man, you can see me signaling, I tell you what. Add the hyperlites and it's maybe a little Christmas tree back there, but I'm ok with it. I was...

Sorry to hear you went down. I know these feels! Heal up. You'll fix the bike. Best to not go down, but you're right on the money when you say it could have been much worse!

Many thanks to y'all...this is exactly the Givi part you've all described and everything bolts up nicely. Special thanks to 2007Fizzer who's PM showed up right after I bought a slide hammer but before I used it :) MattR302, you don't happen to have a red FZ do you? I saw a guy just a few days...

I just got a Givi topcase and mounting for my bike, and according to the instructions - which are horrible, by the way - I have to remove this part and replace it with theirs to mount the support bracket. The Yamaha part is 90338-21145-00 "PLUG,SPEC'L SHAPE." Any ideas? I put vise grips on it...

You know, that does make me feel a little better :)

My wife is frigging awesome. She immediately calmed me down and told me it didn't matter what it costs to fix as long as I was safe. She's really, really supportive about my hobby and she hasn't given me crap. Yet. In a few weeks, when the bike is 100% and I've calmed down she'll start...

My story: Years of riding cruisers, wanted something different. Wife agreed that my birthday this year was a good excuse to but something mildly sporty. I picked up a 1995 Seca II (XJ600) and really enjoyed riding it. I did not enjoy the incessant maintenance or the ten minute warm-up every time...
