Removing Covers
- Remove the left side battery cover.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Remove left fairing pocket.
- Remove the left fairing trim strip.
- Unscrew the Allen bolt holding the headlight adjustment panel, and remove the headlight adjustment panel.
- Remove the center inner fairing(Refer to Service Manual).
- Remove the front lower fairing (lower cowl)
Cutting and drilling
- With a pair of small cutters remove the running light “knock-outs”, on the lower cowl.
- File the edges smooth, of the fog light holes on the lower cowl.
- Fit the rubber trim to the fog light openings. Start one end at the center top support; notch the end of the trim to clear this support, it will be necessary to “notch” the trim on the inside to clear the other 3 supports.
-
You may want to use an adhesive to secure the trim in place.
-
On the Headlight adjustment panel drill the hole .625 (5/8”) on the “blank switch” plug.
-
DO NOT make the hole too large. CAUTION DO NOT GET THE HOLE OVERSIZE-THIS IS NOT A PART THAT IS AVAILABLE FROM HONDA!!
Connecting the Wires
-
Route the red fused lead along the frame to the battery (DO NOT INSTALL THE FUSE AT THIS TIME).
-
You can route the red fused lead between the fuel tank and the frame, under the shelter (it is possible to slide it along the frame to the left pocket area, it will take a little patience-DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE A FISH WIRE- IT IS POSSIBLE TO DAMAGE THE WIRING HARNESS!!
-
Place the relays and wiring harness into the pocket area and connect the fused lead to the open terminal on the relay. Do not connect anything to the unused terminal on the relay that has 5 terminals!!
-
Inside the opening of the headlight adjustment panel, on the right side, there is a large wiring harness inside a black boot. There is a small black 4-pin connector that is unused.
-
Connect the white 4-pin connector, from the Fog Light wiring harness, to this connector. Do not change any of the wire positions on these connections!!
-
Install the switch in the headlight adjustment panel and attach the wires as per the wiring diagram that is attached. Do not change any of these connections!!
-
Route the two Black wires out past the air intake and down along the brake lines to the front of the engine area.
-
Route the shorter wire is for the left side.
-
Route the longer wire under the timing cover to the right side of the engine.
-
Secure the wires with wire-ties to existing wires and cables to prevent the wires from becoming pinched by the faring and/or lower cowl.
-
Connect the 2 short Green Ground leads to the Black wires on the lights; these ground wires will be connected to the mounting bolts.
-
Remove the bolts holding black deflector to the front of the cylinder heads, THESE deflector will remain installed with the lights, install the lights, they are marked right and left (this is as you would be sitting on the motorcycle).
-
The 2 nylon spacers and long bolts are used on the left side light, the shorter bolts on the right side. The bolts should be assembled with the lock washer, then the ground (on one of the mounting bolts) the light mount, then the black deflector.
-
Just snug the mounting bolts, all the mounting bolt holes are slotted; this is to allow adjustment of the lights to center them in the openings OF THE FAIRING LOWER.
Testing the Fog Lights
- Recheck all electrical connections.
- Install the fuse into the holder.
- Reconnect the ground wire to the battery.
- Turn the ignition key to the on position and push in on the Fog Light switch, the switch should be lit and the fog lights should light be on.
- When the dimmer switch it switched to high beam the fog lights should go out.
- The Fog Light Switch will always be lit when it is pushed in, and off when it is in the out position.
Adjusting the Lights
- Temporary install the lower cowl in place.
- The lights should be just below the low beam lights
- The lamps need to be centered in the light openings on the lower cowl.
- Once the light adjust is satisfactory then recheck the position in the cowl opening (there should be a small gap to allow for air flow).
- Install the lower cowl and the other items that were removed for the installation.
