Agreed.  Saved a copy.  Never know when something that good might come in handy.

Got everything back together, have a few problems.

I installed Harley LED lights and one of the AUX lights is defective.  Tested the wires and it's the light.  No big deal.

I also installed heat demons and since I have the hidden antenna I didn't want to use the cig lighter to power it since it had the ant hooked up there.

I hooked the heat demons up to the lead for the harley heated grip plug and they won't power up??  I know they work because I tested them twice before installed the bars.  I need to figure that out tomorrow.

I dropped a fairing bolt down in to the triple tree and we looked for it for hours lol.  It landed in a towel I had on the front fender,

Other than that everything went well.

One thing to keep in the back of your mind on the Heat Demons.  Have installed several sets and only one gave any kind of problem.  But it was a slightly unexpected problem.

That set would work while testing them.  With everything pulled through the bars and hooked up but with the elements hanging out the ends all was fine.  So shoved it all together.  Then, oops, they didn't work anymore. 

Back apart with the elements hanging out the ends all was good.  Slide the elements back inside the bars; no go.  The left element was shorting against the bars when it was installed.  The Heat Demons folks sent a new left element in a next day padded envelope and all was good.  But it took ten minutes of in and out with the element for me to know for sure what was going on.

I didn't test the factory lead that comes out of the TBW harness for factory heated grips so maybe thats the problem??

What sucks is now I have to take the everything apart again to check the leads.  I guess I would have done it earlier but I didn't have the battery hooked up because I wanted to get all the lights hooked up and the fairing back on.

It's always something

make sure you have the polarity of the leds correct or they wont work

I pulled the fairing back off and ran the Heat Demon wires to the Cig lighter.  They work fine now.  Not sure why the factory heated grip plug didn't work but oh well.

Basically everything is done now. 

I have two minor issues;  I ordered the 1" heat demon kit instead of the 1 1/4" so the housing doesn't fit the WO 575's.  My fault.  Heat Demons is sending me out a new housing to swap it out.  Pretty cool guy's over there.

I also installed the LED headlight and LED AUX Lamp kit.  One of my Aux lamps was defective so I had to send it back, still waiting for a replacement.

Other than that everything went pretty well.

I think the next time I have to take the radio out I will order a new rubber gasket that goes around the radio by the face plate.  It got a little beat up taking the radio in and out twice so I could fix the Heat Demons.  The second time I put the radio in I used a little WD-40 around the gasket so it would slide in better without tearing.

Couple pics;  it's going to be 55 degrees today so I put one of the old AUX lights back in so I can go ride.

Just in case it still doesn't work when the new light arrives I'll mention something you've probably already checked.  At the risk of being redundant....

If it still doesn't work check the socket that the light plugs in to.  Put a set of those on a local's bike a few months ago after he'd tried and scratched his head.  The OE socket was wired backward.  Standard bulb doesn't care about polarity.  The LEDs do.

Thanks for the tip!  I'll check that just to be sure.
