I installed the Rivco driving lights I got from Gear Jammer...
I have moto-lights, they help people see me, but don't really help me see much.
I installed the Rivco's so that they only come on when I hit the high beams, and I plan to
set them so that they light up the road all the way out to the horizon
...
I put some new Rivco halogen bulbs in them, and driving my relay off the blue wire that
goes to the headlight did the trick for making them come on with the high beam...
I got a Kuryakyn one-size-fits-all headlight wiring harness, but didn't much like it, the wires are smaller
than 14 gauge (14 gauge recommended for the Rivco halogens...) and I would have had to cut it all up,
or stuff loops of wire all around... so I made my own with some 14 gauge from NAPA and some
heat-shrink wire loom material...
I'm not a solderer, I guess it wouldn't be that hard, but all the crimped connections I've made
haven't given me any trouble so far. I have a box of all kinds of crimp connections, I found a bladed one
that fit tightly (as tight as any of the OEM connections) into where the blue wire fits into the
socket that plugs into the headlight, so I didn't have to cut or otherwise molest the OEM wiring harness.
While I was at it, I finally mounted the button for my motolights in a good place...
Everything seems to work... need to put some miles on for the last test: to see if nothing comes loose
and the motorcycle doesn't explode or catch on fire!
