Anyone install the airwing tour pack light? How much is involved?

[Trey767]

The worst part for me was fishing the wires through the rack, just take your time. I'm pleased I did it on my 06 and 09.

Do the wires splice into the light harness of did the MOCO give us a plug?

Patience is the key.  The wiring harness comes with it.

Thanks
I think I'll order one from Chicago HD.

The wires are not in the connectors. What I did, it comes with fishing strings; I made a knots around the wires at the pins taped it lightly and fished it through. Just go slow. It comes with everything.  Also this had happen to me years ago, do a dry run with the male and female black connector, to make sure you have them in the correct way to match the supply electrical wires. This way you don't have than not matching because you have the terminal upside down. But If you have a service manual in the back they show how to remove the pins to reinstall, cause once they go in they lock

Also the directions suggest to use silicone or the like to keep it waterproof......NOT


There is a plug that you have to remove from the rack......drill a hole (small) in it and fish the wires through it.
That is the best suggestion I have and it is the cleanest and most professional look you will get.

Not tough to install but a disappointment....due to the angle it is barely visible from behind.

[Trey767]

You know what I have to agree with OhioDave 100%

I also agree with OhioDave, I would not buy these tour pak rack lights again

[rogerkmac]

I have to agree with OhioDave also.  I was hoping for a lot more visibility than what I got.

Could not agree more.  Maybe if someone comes out with a very bright LED it would be worth it, but this was a disappointment.

Another vote for OhioDave's post.  You can see it, but not real well.  I liked the idea of drilling the plug instead of using the silicone.  I haven't heard of that idea before.  Too late for me.  I'm sure the plug is long gone and my hole is filled with silicone.

As far as difficulty goes on the install, it's probably one of the few items that I installed myself that I never had to come on the forum to ask any questions about in the middle of the install, so it must be fairly easy to do.  Just follow the directions and I don't think you can miss.

Everyone's complaint is with the visibility/viewability of the light and not the look of the unit?  If so the light isn't that much more after the cost of the rack itself.  If it looks ok and adds any light at all is it at least good enough to be deemed worthwhile?  Hope so.  Box with a rack and light arrived here today to mount on the King tour pak for the SERG .
