Does anyone have a step by step instruction to get my low beam to work on both headlights?
Also what connectors to use or just solder?
Also what connectors to use or just solder?
Here's my mine was done by the previous owner. Couple feet of black wire spliced into the green wire, ran down the left fork tube, then around the front cowling and crimped to a terminal stuck into the headlight socket. Like I said, it's pretty crude, but works well enough that I haven't bothered to clean it up yet.
Matt,
The crimp in this picture could cause you grief as it's not making a good contact with the wire (crimp is distorted) and may over heat or even melt the wire, the flag, or the connector housing. You might want want to find another connector and redo that connection.
Also, a good connection should be able to survive a mild pull test. If it doesn't, it can fail and worst case cause a fire. I know its not likely here but I'd rather not take any chances myself.
How do send you my details? Would you like an email address so I can give you my postal address in it?
Sorry but I don't think you're qualified to make that statement. How is not having a good contact cause over-heating and even melt the wire??? The only way to overheat the wire is to have more current in the wire. Having a bad contact doesn't do that! Please don't make false statements like that and scared everybody into not making this simple mod. You don't need to buy any expensive kit from bd43 or motogiro. This mod is simple DIY.
