Wiring auxiliary lights on a VROD

by Editor on 02/28/24

Spent some time trying out several different ways to route the wiring & this seems to be the cleanest look I’ve come up with. 
Still need to extend the length of wire, run it behind the brake cables & behind the headlight into the side vents for the new connectors.

Mounting auxillary lights on a VROD

by Editor on 02/27/24

The red arrows represent the current location of the auxiliary lights. I've made up a new set of mounting brackets to mount them on the brake caliper bolt represented by the green arrow. I think the will not only look better in that location but will also light up the road better, instead of the beams being combined with the headlight.
