Cheap & shiny mod from scootworks (pics).
11/02/06 at 00:01:18

Oh, no, another Stimpy post Grin

Anyway, I finally installed that 3-headlight set that I wanted. Found it on sale at scootworks for $99USD as a Marauder accessory, fits perfect. And yes, the two 55w halogen lamps make a big difference when riding at night. P.S. They are connected to the high beam only.

I know you said it fits perfect, but was it a direct bolt-up or did you have to do some drilling/modding? Other than that, I'm curious as to what kind of load it will put on the electrical system.

Reply #2 - 11/02/06 at 00:20:13 No, no drilling, just direct bolting since the Marauder´s front is exactly the same as the Savage. ...I'm curious as to what kind of load it will put on the electrical system... Me too! But until now everything is A-ok.

I'll bet that the VZ800 front end (forks, triple tree, wheel/tire, bars, etc.) would look wicked on an LS650! Anyone ever see this transplant done?! 8)

Sure, will do tomorrow, or asap.

- Basically put together the contents of box and get your cablework ready leaving about a foot of extra cable sticking out.

- You remove the 2 bolts that hold the headlight in place (directly under lamp).

- Then you clean the area (might as well) and place the flat part of the lightbar there and make sure all the holes match, bolt headlamp back on.

- Connect cables. I connected mine INSIDE the main headlight and used the yellow (high-beam) cable as 12V+. You must of course disassemble the lamp first in order to do that. (*more info on connections written under the "box contents pic")

That´s it.

awesome mod!!
youve added 9.2 amps to your lighting circuit for a total of 21.55 amps(high beam on turn signals,and brake lite on) at 12 volts BUT the regulated voltage is 14 - 15.5 volts @ 5500 rpm..would think fuse would blow if there is a problem...i such case you could run a relay (controlled by high beam in main head lamp)and seperate fused circuit from the battery...or leds on rear
turn signals and tail/brake,license light..

Reply #11 - 11/02/06 at 12:37:24 You are right! The system runs at about 15Amps and has a 20Amp fuse. It should have blown allready. I think I really should install that relay if I don´t want to end up on a dark road trying to replace that fuse (or worse) in the middle of the night. Allright, new weekend project
