I posted this in Technical but it likely belongs here. Anybody running an electric vest with the BD43 headlight mod? Sounds like you end up about 25watts short of having enough juice to run these both at the same time. Just added the second low beam and now I fear I need to add a...

I'm looking to mount frame sliders so I can hook my legs over them as highway pegs to take a break on long trips. Anyone suggest sliders with long spools? I've seen some sliders that are short mushroom like things and want to make sure I don't end up with that style - not every site seams...

Anybody running an electric vest with the BD43 headlight mod? Sounds like you end up about 25watts short of having enough juice to run these both at the same time. Just added the second low beam and now I fear I need to add a switch in the line to turn it off when I want to plug in my...

Ok, so I thought about this yesterday and I believe the fix I need is to add a second relay that uses the high beam feed for the trigger to turn off the low beam. The first relay needs power to turn it on the second relay will need power to turn it off. I think this will solve the two on -...

FAAK You guys got me spooked now. Hadn't really thought too much about the extra watts I'm drawing especially since I've fallen in love with my electric vest. I tried the BD43 and for me the large connector was just too tightly buried behind the coils. I had the airbox out and the batt...

The only load I have added is the operation of the relay , which I believe is minimal. Power for the low beam came right from the battery. I can't see the high and low beam running together as problematic since they draw power from separate sources through different wires. Time should...

How do you like the bar end mirrors? The stock ones look kind of ugly but after so many bikes with only a single fuzzy image of the rear ( that constantly needed adjustment due to weak adjusters) I really have become attached to dual mirrors with crystal clear images.

I tried to do the BD-43 mod. I had the airbox off and the batt box pulled back but I just didn't have the nerve to pull hard enough to get the big connector out far enough to separate it. Then I saw someone suggestting a jumper from the black/green lead on the left light to the top (empty) slot...

Windsheild - I cut 3" off the height of mind and buffeting was greatly reduced. Seems the wind hits your chest instead of your lid and it's much quieter. Almost as quiet as when I stand up on the pegs and my head in a "clean' air stream. Highways pegs - I also put long days on the bike and...

$14! Is per side?

Some great suggestions. Thanks all. I'll be checking out the puigs closely, since one of my main reasons for the sliders is to use them as impromptu highway pegs on long hauls.

I'm looking for suggestions for frame sldiers for my 06 FZ6. Any brands to keep away from? Or absolutely should buy? Thanks

The extra lamp AND an electric vest are no probs?? The E vest takes top priority.

Thanks guys. Is removing the airbox as big a task as it first appears? looks like about 4-5 tubes or hoses that need to come off - a few wire connections- then loosen the throttle body clamps (four hex head screws that I can hardly see, let alone manouver an allen wrench onto) Then there...

I want to disconn the wires to the bottom of the gas tank (06' FZ6) in order to make room to do the headlight mod. It's not obvious how you "unlock" the connector. There's usually a clip or post that needs to be bent back slightly to allow the connector to be removed. (prevents it from...

It's a joke. Right?

What is benifit of tail bag over tank bag? My T bag is magnetic - so it's super easy to take with me (has a safety strap but I havn't used that for about the last 2-3 bikes) It has a zip on second story for long hauls and it's good for leaning on while you ride. I just can't see how...

DONE IT and IT WORKS!! Thanks Steve Now there almost no difference in sound level when I stand up on the pegs (head out of turbulence) and when I sit down. Before the difference was very dramatic. I think I removed about 3". I have maybe a step of 1.5" from cut line down to mirrors are. I...

I have a sheep skin cover that helps but after a tank of gas it's not enought either.
