some recommended items you may need...
(season according to taste...)

Paint a disk on the front of the air cleaner
80mm in diameter - a neat trick is cut a circle
in some contact paper - you know the shelf liner
that has an adhesive backing- and use it as a
stencil
Remove the neon light from the computer fan- be
careful they are fragile -these things are made
of glass - very shock resistant - but they don't
handle well
What
worked for me was I used a small drill bit to
enlarge the mounting holes- Cochise skipped it
and just super glued
it to the back of the computer grill - (the
smart way to go-because like I said ..it is
fragile)
Drill a very small hole into your air cleaner
assembly out to the back for your light wires
and bolt it to your air cleaner cover and mount
it back on the bike
 Wires
are easy - the light is 12 volt and comes
with a small inverter that can accommodate
up to two lights... just put it under the
tank or in the battery box (it's small).
..cut the Molex computer connector off the
end -
|
|
Yellow
- direct to the positive
terminal on your switch
and your bike battery |
|
Red
-
to the middle terminal -
or accessory on your
switch |
|
Black
- to the negative
terminal and a negative
line coming from your
battery |
 |
|
You'll find the light is very
bright the whole setup has a
distinctive look.... use your
imagination - there are many styles
of grills and endless color
combinations of paint and lights
that you can use to give it a custom
look |
 |
 |
And here's the kicker..... the whole thing
was less than $25 bucks (how's that for cost
effective...) :)
