bd43's 07 Headlight Mod Part 2

[mustanggirl1975]

I received the wire a week or two ago, and last weekend my boyfriend and I installed the wire. The directions were easy and the pictures were very helpful. Crossing our fingers we tested the wire and BAM there was 2 headlights lit.... needless to say we were very happy. It looks great and I love it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!

I received my harness about two weeks ago, and with the instructions and forum background, it took just under an hour to finish. EXCELLENT design, fit and finish. By far my favorite and most reasonably priced mod yet!

Umm...not a mechanic or an an electrician...just a rider. Like the mod, but not willing to destroy my bike attempting to do it myself. Anyone good in the Chicago area who will do this without costing me an arm & leg?

It's really not that bad but I can understand not wanting to do it yourself if you're not comfortable with it. I'm sure you'll find someone to help you out. Fellow rider in the area maybe will do it cheap i would imagine.

I received my wire about two days ago. Decided to try it out on Friday the 4th of July! Took about an hour and it works flawlessly! Recommend to everyone with a FZ6!

Hiya. Did my mod today after having the harness in my possession since March! I'd say it took about 30-45 minutes from lifting the tank to bolting it back down. It's easy with the right tools. The only thing I haven't done properly is route the wire. I thought I'd leave that for another day so I've got another 30-45 minutes left to make it all look professional. I took a grand total of 2 pictures, but they aren't as good as ones already on here so I won't bother posting them - we all know what a 2-eyed FZ looks like.

Great product BD43!

I ordered the mod a few weeks ago and it was shipped fast, got to me before my frame sliders through the dealer. I was hesitant to do the mod never having 'opened' my bike but after seeing so many other yamaha bikes in my area I decided I wanted to stand out with TWO headlights.

For anyone who is nervous about performing this mod I would rate it not much more difficult than changing the oil in a car (assuming you don't make a mistake).

The whole thing start to finish took me 75 minutes and I was being careful with all the bolts, placing them in labeled zip lock bags. The only tools you need are in your tool kit. I would say it took me 10 minutes to get to the step of pulling the air filter and most of that was trying to secure the tank because my bungie was too short After that I was a little unsure of how to get the air box out but after some studying I disconnected one hose and tugged and that was that. Pulling the battery was easy just 4 bolts and two screws. I was prob 30 mins in at that point. Then I spent some time checking the correct wiring since I am color blind Ran the wiring along existing connections and through the front of the bike (only small fingered task). Then I put everything back together again. I would have been done in 60 minutes but I wired the battery back up before I had placed the battery covery back on

Shipping = Fast
Quality = Excellent
Directions = Clear
Level = Low/Medium

I did this mod with the help of this very helpful guide but decided to put the new wire within the original harness to make it look stock, it took a tad longer as had to re-bind the original harnesses but was happy with the results, I did however decide to put a heat sealed bullet connector by the original ones on the left hand side of the top cowling so that you can seperate it to aid quick removal of the top cowl, see pic

Got the headlight mod from BikerDude a few weeks ago but just couldnt find time to get it fitted. Took it with me on my first service and they agreed to put it in for me as the airbox would apparantly be coming out any way.

The did not charge me as they said they didnt have to do much as the cable from BikerDude was so good!! Pretty much plug 'n play.

Thanks again!!

There is no doubt in my mind that this is the greatest safety mod that the average streetrider can do to an FZ6. I've had mine installed for about 10 days now, and I must say that cagers approaching from the right are far more respectful of my presence. Obviously, I'm still not invincible, but I'm far more visible to those who would turn right into my lane or pull out in front of me. Now instad of having to my thumb on the brights, I've got it covering the horn & ready to give 'em "the Vegas"!!!

Thanks Biker_Dude - you made the world a safer place!
