passing lites?

[dueyk1111]

just got done putting my passing lites on and wiring in the relay. been through alot of threads, was just wondering how big a fuse should be used in the line from the battery?

I used a 15 amp in mine but I could go with a lower fuse as I have changed my lights to LEDs.

Also put an extension bracket on the light bar. It makes getting into the faring much easier ( you don't have to drop the light bar to remove the fairing).

Where did the extension bracket come from?

In case you don't know.... the passing light spacer puts the light bar a little further forward. By doing this, you don't have to remove the lights when you want to split the fairing.

 

This thread has an email address for someone that makes them - http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=56389

I make them for those that want them.

the bracket saves you time in the future, add a longer screw with some rubber tubing around it so that the wind deflectors don't break.

already had my bracket from the totaled bike, used it. would'nt have put the lite bar on without one!

As to what size fuse it should have.

The formula to find out how many amps you will use is, P ÷ E = I .

 

P is power of the lights in watts. (Remember there are 2 lights)

E is voltage. 12V

I is the Amps that will be drawn.

 

Use the next higher standard size fuse.

If you are running the 55 Watt bulbs 10 amps will work.
