Alright, now we get to see them installed.   I'll bring mine to Hot Springs and you can install them for me too

Looking forward to seeing the pics!!

Don't forget to bring the brace and bit to make the holes.  And lots of extra wire.  Got to string that stuff someplace to get it all hooked up.

Cobaltman?

I was in Paducah yesterday and almost called you to see if your bike is in. Any word on it?

[HogBreath]

Ok, I admit it, I'm like a bull in a china cabinet. I just rode the scooter down here to the shop and put the saddlebag spoilers on. I drilled the holes, mounted everything and run the wires, NO problemo. They look nice. Now, let's plug the wires in. Instructions say, FIND the accessory plug. This bike has more BS plugged into it than the PC sitting on my desk. The heated seats plug into the accessory wire. I found out, for a minimal charge you can get a Y-connector. OK, I'm smart, unplug the heated seats and plug in the spoiler lights. It's spring! Who needs the heated seats now? Did that. Wait, what's that broken fuse from? Now the left lighted saddlebag latch light is working and the right spoiler light. Neither the left spoiler light nor the right saddlebag lights are working.  I figure sleep on it, wake up fresh and trace the circuits tomorrow. AT least I didn't let the drill slip and run a huge scar across the top of the saddlebags.

Couldn't just leave it alone and ride it, huh! Hoist!

HB...the heated seats shouldn't be plugged into the one thats switched by the ACC switch on the dash.  There's another one in that hole in front of your battery where the wire comes up for the seats...at least there is on mine.

I couldn't argue with you either way. The plug that goes to the heated seat is the same type of plug as the wires that come with the lighted spoiler kit. I called the dealer and they said I need a Y-connector for that plug. He did verify that the spoiler and the heated seats use the same wires. Yes, there's another plug/wire in that hole, but I'm not using that one.

Thanks Hoist.  I hope to pick it up early next week.

Glad to see you still are keeping me in the inner circle even though I defected from the SERK to the SEUC!!! We are still all in the same family.

ps...Can you find me a SERT so Four Rivers can download my map   All parts are in except that damn SERT.

I guess you checked the all the internet discounters. Let me know, and I'll call around here if you need me to. Hoist!

BTW John, I wound up selling my '03 RK thru HD Trader. How'd you make out with the Heritage?
