I installed bd43's wiring harness today for the dual low beam mod and it worked out perfect. His wiring was professional quality and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. The only bad thing was that I snapped one of the bolts to the battery box (my fault). I think it is time to buy a torque wrench. Anyway, if anyone has been thinking about doing this mod, I 100% reccomend buying the wiring harness from bd43. Thanks again, you do great work.

Thanks! Glad it worked out for you. Sucks about the bolt, a torque wrench is a good idea if a person isn't used to tightening bolts. I sometimes catch myself missing the click in the wrench and going a little overboard but know when to stop. A torque wrench is a great tool but in the inexperienced hands can still mess up a bolt or two.

Cheers and safe riding! :rockon:

Just got mine as well. Bike is in the shop for a another week or two but the quality looks top notch and the printed instructions will help I'm sure. Thanks BD!!!

+1 on the mod. Added visibility and you also don't get asked the same question over and over again, "Hey, is one of your headlight bulbs out?"
Also, the harness looks OEM quality :thumbup:

Thanks for posting this!
I didn't realize Daryl still made these, but I just ordered the harness from him! :D

I was taking ERC and I had a MSF instructor tell me that one of my lights was out!!

Ok Bd43, the next step is to contact Yamaha and start supplying your cable to them in bulk for factory installation. After you secure the contract turn your basement into a light cable harness factory and pump them out by the truck load. Obviously they had an oversight in the wiring harness department that has been going on for several years.

Necessity! It's the mother of invention.
