Looks like it grounds through the chassis. I think you just need to run a wire off your power source [either at the battery or fuse panel] through a fuse and a switch to that white wire. I would also add a relay myself, and power it off the ignition curcuit so that when you shut the key off the relay opens and shuts the light off. ...J.D.
I like your idea but am going to need more help. Can you recommend an online kit with all you suggested?
Sorry. Kind of hard to help from here. I am a long way from you. I usually buy pieces as I find them, and put things together as I need them out of my own parts bins. Do you have a riding buddy that can help out ? ...J.D.
Non that are mechanically inclined. I guess I better take it to a shop. Aside from parts what would you say is a ballpark rate for this install?
This points to one of my biggest frustrations in life. Nobody fixes anything these days. I even have a very difficult time even buying parts and supplies to do this work. Seems like if you are under about 60 yrs. old it has to come in a box. No one seems to know how to even solder a wire, or change a fuse. In my generation we were doing these things in Jr.High School. Very frustrating. I guess I'm just obsolete. ...J.D.
No Gil. At 74 I am unemployable. Good thing I was savvy enough to prepare for my future with 2 fat pensions and Social Security. I haven't worked in over 11 years. Nobody wants an old guy. We are too expensive. ...J.D.
Here is what it looks like. I forgot to put the tax disc back on. The fog light is mounted but not functional. I just dropped the bike off at a local motorcycle shop. I'm not that skilled so I'm going to have to come out of pocket.
I have the like fully functional now. I have the light fully functional now. They went straight to the battery with a fuse and a toggle switch on the handlebar. I I forgot to mention the relay, oh well. I'll upload some pictures when it's dark as soon as get a chance.
Gil: Mine is an America so I added these. They were a factory option on Americas and Speedmasters but I don't think you can get them anymore. ...J.D.
Being a native of Southern California, I know you want all the light you can get. Drivers are crazy. You need to be extra safety cautious here. ...J.D.
JD, I want to wire it as you recommended. I want the fog light to only work when I have the switch open. I have some questions. What relay would you recommend? I hear there is a 4 prong or 5 prong. Am I looking for a certain voltage? Where would you hide the relay?
nice if u need the lighting iam surprised you have the plate on the front Gard in aus no front no plates ,and you would be off the road with one as they are consider dangers
Carpy & Gil: Been in So.Cal all my life. Currently living in San Bernardino County. I just did a single fog light for my Legend [no picture yet]. I had to custom fabricate it myself.. I put mine on the left though because we DO drive on the wrong side of the road here . ...J.D. Sorry for the double photo. Cannot get the second.one.deleted.
