Jim,

Thanks for the good how toos.  I have this thread and your Hawg Wired install threads both book marked.  No doubt I will be using this information when my SERG comes in this winter.

[bribe36]

Can someone provide some guidance? I'm trying to take off the outer fairing but having no luck. I followed Jim's directions ( towel on fender, 6 screws out, acorn nuts off turn signels, pull up and out). The thing won't budge. Am I missing something? Are there some clips holding it in place? GRRRRRRRR

[hdbrad03]

The outer fairing hangs on two hooks that are part of the radio bracket. Grab the front of the fairing in the headlight pocket and lift up then out. It should pop off the hooks. Make sure you have a good grip on the fairing. Don't drop it on you front fender.

taking it off is easy, wait till ya go to put it on.

the way i do it is pop the headlight bucket out, after the fairing is off. you can easily get the fairing on the hooks then put the light assembly back in.

 i learned the hard way.


i do see ppl that just throw it on time after time, after a dozen times er so it gets better.



good luck

We've had the bulbs installed on both of the Seegs, and we have a hell of a time with people flashing us everytime we ride at night, I've adjusted them so that there almost shining straight down and people still think we have our high beams on, there SO bright.

No idea what the difference might be.  Have had them on the SEEG for a very long time now.  When just low beams are on I don't remember getting flashed.

I love being flashed  

I get people commenting on my lights in the daytime, but I could care less.  Safety is my #1 concern.  See and be seen is my motto.  These lights are seen clearly in the daytime.  I couldn't tell you the number of times people have pulled out in front of me before installing them.  If I weren't on my game watching for these idiots I'd be a spot on the road.  When I catch them (and I usually do) they say, "Sorry, I didn't see you."  I don't have that problem as often now.  These lights catch attention in broad daylight.  And I do a ton of driving in Chicago traffic with tons of A-Hole drivers.  I do get some flashing at night, but surprisingly not as much as I expected.  Drivers are getting use to the xenon lights.  Many cars have them now days.

I have been flashed a few times but then I just hit the high beam to let them know it was on the low

Hey Brad thanks for letting me know about the hooks. When I tried a second time to remove the fairing, knowing about the hooks I got it off in no time. Getting it back on was more of a challenge though, Thank much

Blanket or fender cover on front fender works very well,...just in case...don't ask me how I know....

[Dragon42]

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. 

Do you need a quick disconnect for the Hi/Lo Kit?  If so, what did you use?

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.

Well just ordered the Xenonlink kit and looking forward to lighting up the road. Now a couple of questions for you men and women of knowledge.
1) Would driving lights just be overkill with this kit installed?
2) If I was to put driving lights on would I use the european running light wire you mention for power?
Thanks

     1.)     I have the  H4(9003, HB2) Hi/Lo 6000K Automobile HID Kit in my SERG and have ridden at night in some dark canyons (no moon, no street lighting) here in So. Cal.  Plenty of light now and I like as much as possible.  Rarely use the high beam which is still halogen on this kit.

     2.)     The xenon lights use less power.  So you can probably tap the Euro. source for power but I don't really know because I don't know what you want to install.  It depends on the total draw.
