Default Turn Relocate and Lights on Bar

Mounts for lights, I will get them wired up after this, need to run to auto store and get some black cable wrap, to hide wires.

Default Lots of wiring pic's

Here is some helpful info, on all the wiring.
Cut the blue plug off, you don't need it , the bar is grounded.
and it is easier to hide.
Tape it to the hot wire, and put shrink wrap and seal it, by heating.

Default More wiring

Next step wrap wires, in flex wrap, going to the hot wire on lights, I ran 1 wire and split it, into 2 , just where it would go under head light. Tape the ends up, and if you ever need to dis-connect...it will be easy to just remove tape.

Default Finishing up

The batt. box, nice and clean, the relay and AutoSwitch mounted under right rear cover....I removed the top screw and used a longer one, where the top of the canister bracket mounts, so I could put a nut on it, and hold the relay and ground with to the AutoSwitch.
I also just tie wrapped the led, in place for now, I will mount it later, waiting for darkness to adjust the lights....dont really need the led...if I hold the passing beam switch 2 sec's and release...lights come on... and I will know when they are on...lol...I will try to get pic's of that later...if I don't run out of time.

Jeff, your bike is completely spotless!! If I posted pics of my bike up close like that you would probably see small animals walking around. Obviously I am kidding but my bike is NEVER that clean.

Looks great, hey your light looks low on garage wall, adjusting it up, helps out immensely, especially with those Silverstar bulbs.

Thanks...Nice Call, I had never checked it, it was way low, brought it up 7 inchs, that would make a good tip in the new M50 owner's thread...
I found mixed ways to adjust it, some said 2" drop at 17ft, from center line of light, and some said 2" drop at 25ft...I went with 1" drop at 17ft...now I have to bring driving lights up

Thanks to you that have paid for the light bar, I have 6 of the 10 sold, after getting farther into the project and getting cost for time and material, I can sell the light bars for $85.00 + shipping, I'm not in this to make allot of money, the 6 of you that have paid, I will be sending you a paypal for a $10.00 refund, I can also guarantee, there will only be 11 of these in the world, no more will be made.
Thanks again for the support, I do this because , I love to come up with new stuff for my M50 and share some of it with the people here. I just cant do this as a full time thing, I wish I could, but I love my job, and I can only do this as a part time thing, as long as it doesn't interfere with my free time.

Thanks again Jeff, I can't wait to get mine. Keep the $10.00 and buy yourself a couple bears at the bar. It's more then worth it to have a limited piece for my ride.
