HSATF Member Posts: 47 09/04/07 5:00 PM	Tags : None I installed this CWI lilght bar purchased from Cruiser Customizing for $189 Free shipping. I assembled and mounted it on the lower windshield brackets, then turned it over to my Honda mechanic to wire. We took power from the back of the fuse block - installed a 10 amp in line spade fuse - and finished it off with a solid state toggle switch mounted in the left plastic neck cover. No visible wires - no switch on the handlebars - and I can control when I want the lights on. It took some work to get them aligned but with a couple extra homemade washers and some patience I have them level with the low beam - one spots down the left side of the road - the other takes care of the right shoulder. Makes night driving much more illuminated and makes me more visible during the day when going long distance. The bright chrome and nice shape of the lights compliments my T to a tee.

I pretty much did the same on wiring except that I ran a fused wire directly off the battery and fed it through a relay just after the switch.

HSATF Member Posts: 47 09/16/07 8:25 PM	Good question alans 98T. Yes the lightbar does come with special ramped washers for adjustment but since the bar is installed on somewhat of a slope on the windshield, the light mounting surface is angled upward more than the washers can correct. I installed them per the instructions one on the top - one on the bottom and thought I had em adjusted pretty good until I drove out to our local camp ground. When I pulled in I noticed the lights were perfectly angled for raccoon hunting in the trees. I made one additional ramped washer similar to what came with and was able to get the lights down even with the low beam and doing the job they're intended to do. After looking things over I'm wondering if you put both washers on top that you might get more adjustment?

I really like the custom pinstriping on the front fender , are there pics here somewhere of the stripes ? I really would like to see the complete job in detail , what you can see looks great . It also looks like you now have a good excuse to shop for a few more chrome visors to match the rest of them . I love shopping for chrome . Last Edited By: Triderhouston 09/23/07 10:19 AM.

HSATF Member Posts: 47 09/25/07 7:05 PM	Thanks Triderhouston for the kind words. I'll take a couple closeups and post them in the members bike pictures area. I recall the previous owner told me that the bike had been ridden to Sturgis and someone there free handed the pin striping on the front fender, on the gas tank, and on top of both saddle bag covers. He signed his work and then just above the tail light wrote the words "On Prozac" since the original owner was a woman.
