The Purple Monster - Just About Done

Just about done
Specs

HIDS 12000k Low Beam, 6000 K High Beam
Built my own relay harness 10 gauge wire to the relay (Instant ON),
Switches pulls power from original headlight connector,
So they are only on when the bike is on.

Kill Switch for Taillights

Over 900 LEDS, (16 pods & over 30 strips)
4 LED controllers (Remote Controlled)

Power to front of bike (SAE Connector)
Power to right rear (SAE Connector)
Power to left rear (DC Connector)

90 Watt Strobe Controller

240 Audio Amplifier
6.5" Speaker, I cant hear it while riding so I'll be getting some handle bar mounted speakers.

Zero Gravity Sport Touring Windscreen

Rear Hugger

1" Risers

RAM Mounts for GPS & camera, Not installed yet.

Custom Under Tail to make room for all that stuff

Rear spring adjusted to prevent rubbing new undertail, Firm but comfortable ride

The Learning Curve

I could not get in contact with liteeyez and was unable to order their Halos,
so I went with advanced automotive concepts and the Halos are not in a protective housing, I broke 3 out of 4.

I was to eager to get the bike out after 2.5 weeks that I did not secure the bottom fairing by the shock and it is now MIA with 2 pods and 2 strips.

One of the headlights is a little cloudy cause I didn't clean it before I put it back together.

Should have used a step drill bit for stobe holes.

Broke 2 Strobe tubes test fitting.

Hands are sore from crimping a lot of connectors and stripping a lot of wires.

A lot of trips to home depot, radio shack and auto store for parts and accesories I didn't already have

Speaker too large but I will use until I get the handle bar mounted units

Very Happy with the results, but if someone asked me to do it for them I couldn't put a price on it.

Custom Under Tail

Tank Prop

Stuff

Relays

Wiring

Helper/Tester

Let There B Light


Video



More day & night pics to come once its all finalized

Yup, it's the closest I'm going to get to a Goldwing or Electra Glide, that already has them installed.
Just need the handlebar mounted ones and I'll be all set.
