Jim,

          Thank you again for great information!  I received my Xenonlink package yesterday afternoon and will install tonight.  

          BTW I installed the KW with the stock rubber gasket -- much better that trying to use the stock.

Thank you again for great information!  I received my Xenonlink package yesterday afternoon and will install tonight.  I got the bi xenon kit and will have to splice I suppose.  I'll let you know what I find. 

The bi-xenon is a good light.  You'll no doubt like it.  FYI, you just need to install a quick disconnect of some-sort so you can easily remove the faring from the bike.  Fortunately they have the connections on the main wire harness.  Makes the bi-xenon install much easier. 

BTW I installed the KW with the stock rubber gasket -- much better that trying to use the stock. 

Yep, had to do the same thing.  The stock ones on the SERG will not work very with the KW shield.  They designed them to fit on the standard bikes.

Jim thanks so much for youur effort on this.  I really appreciate it.  By the way have you thought about HID for the dash lights

They would be way to bright.  The red looks nice and matches the radio display. 

FYI, it would be fairly easy to change the color of the instruments.  The bulbs just have a red slip-on plastic cover over them.  You could put any color on the bulb and change the instrument color.  The Yellow bikes would look pretty cool with yellow gauges.

How about orange

Orange would look cool, but red is close enough to orange for me.  It would be hard to go orange and make it look materially different than red.  However, I think Yellow would stand out big time.  It would look very cool to have a yellow bike with yellow back-lighted gauges.

Jim, since joining this site you have proved to be a plethora of knowledge and documenting everthing with photos and text.  Thanks so much for making modifications to my bike much easier.  I definitely feel a little bit more confident in completing some of these projects.  Although, I wouldn't mind if you hop in that sweet ride and fly down to GA for some technical assistance!  Thanks again! :2vrolijk_21:

I agree with Mike D.  You are welcome to visit me in Wisconsin anytime (and a good stopping point enroute to Sturgis) especaily if you will help me with a couple of SERG projects Best regards

I agree with the both of you as well. I do have one problem with Jim though, and that is he just keeps me spending money like know one else!!!!

Jim you make your directions so nice with pics and descriptions that even I can do it. Now you have to come up with a way to get us some more money!!!

Thanks again for another great write up.

Jim, turns out I have the same set as you.  So, I took a long lunch from the office and went home to do the install.  Took about an hour an one half going slowly and carefully.  Very easy!!  Lights are great!  Thanks for your continued efforts and intructions.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments.  What's great about the effort we are all putting into this is that the documentation we are creating will help countless others.  We are not only helping our CVO family today, we are helping Harley owners throughout the world make their rides better for years to come. 

How cool is that?  :orange:
