How long is the wire all together? If I read it right, the 14" was only for the outer sleeve.

Great DIY... by the way.

Hi Mellow,
Though I did not measure mine, I'm thinking it was arround 30"-36" If he's still making them, its just easier to get BD43 to sell you one. The length is perfect and they are nicely made. Unless of course, you dig those kinds of projects and have the time. PM BD43 and i'm sure he'd be happy to tell you.

I just completed this mod today. Just got my FZ a couple of months ago and thought the one headlight thing was stupid.

I would recommend this to others that are thinking about it

"Acquire approximately 48” of green jacketed multi-stranded wire either in #18 or #16 gauge size" is what is stated on page 1 ....

So 48" or 122Cm if my calculator is acting right.

Sorry but I think you may have the conversion wrong, according to your dimensions this pin will be just under one foot long. I think you need to divide everything by 10.

I just went to an auto wrecker and pulled a harness (with like 20 wires attached to that type of connector) and chopped a H4 bulb off the same car. $20, and had the whole mod done in under 2hrs.

You can actually fish out the connector (with great difficulty) w/o touching the airbox. Then disconnect the connector, find the correct hole, then stick your new wire in

Did you do low/high on both sides? If so how did you address the light bucket with the smaller hole? Where did you actually run the wires? If you did not add the 2nd high beam, what made you opt against it?

Are any of these the right connector?

090 Connectors

It looks a lot like the 12P090K-MT.
