I see. Your middle one has been replaced by the two smaller on the outside of the main headlight. Check my pic, there's a small circle on the outside side of the headlight.

OK, yours are just in the same housing as the headlight itself. Interesting. So both headlights still are on all the time right, or are the parking lights running all the time and a switch to turn the headights on??

**Louis** · 05-01-2006, 10:56 AM

huh, I don't remember, I'll check when I leave tonight.

**Louis** · 05-03-2006, 01:20 PM

Yep they are on at the same time as the headlights.

SVZuki · 05-03-2006, 06:47 PM

Interesting..that seems like overkill, you still have a spot on the ignition past lock that you can turn on only the parking lights with, right??

**Louis** · 05-03-2006, 07:46 PM

Yep

Saw this on a European site or at least it looked that way. Thought you guys might enjoy or we might get a heads up on where to get these!

oh my gosh!!! I got my bike back from the shop on Saturday. I had a new slip on put on. Soooo nice. She puuuuurrrrrs when idling and roars when I open it up, but yet pretty quiet when I am at cruising speed. It is really awesome. I am in love with my bike all over again. I want to get a sound clip and use it as my ringer on my phone. I will get pictures tomorrow.

oh btw, I also mounted the saddlebags to not be in the way with a passenger!!

**Louis** · 06-05-2006, 01:18 PM

How did you mount them? Which brand/model are they?

SVZuki · 06-05-2006, 02:28 PM

They are Nelson Rigg standard sport saddlebag. I removed the rear grab bar if you notice. Doing so is part of the only way to mount them and still ride a passenger. You can see where the front mounts in the passenger pegs. There are two sets of straps that run from one bag to the other. The front strap is placed to be on top of eachother as they are suppose to. The rearward strap is placed in the shape of an X, so it connects velcro at the one point and draws the rear of the saddlebag closer together. Before you attach the rear strap together you need to loop the back attachment strap that would normally attach to the grab bar to its individual sides larger strap.

I know that got really confusing, but what it means is that you take the small strap like the one pictured on the front and loop it through the large strap that runs under the passenger seat. Do that for each bag, then attach the large strap in the form of an X. Continue to reposition to allow for the passenger seat tab to fit into the slot. Then push the front cross strap backwards to allow the locks to slip into place when closing the seat. You are good to go.

Overall it took about 15 minutes when I had no idea what to do or how to do it. I can now do it in 3 minutes.
