[QUOTE="Hudson, post: 739990, member: 15488"] Having just installed the Fiamm's using FJRandy's horn harness, here are some thoughts if the point of the PIAA is to fit without cutting: 1. The Fiamm's went in my 08 without any cutting of the inside fairing. I compressed the forks to verify, but there is about a 3/4 to 1 inch gap, with the handlebar's fully turned. To get this fit, I had to bend the Fiamm bracket along the rear contours of the Fiamm. Easy to do if you have a vise. 2. Using Randy's horn harness was easy to install, but I'd love to have tried the Eastern Beaver harness (I've used their fuseblock harness with great results). While I give props to FJRandy's harness for making it easy, the design has three things I'd want to see improved: A. The length of the + battery wire coming off the relay is too short, and requires the relay to be located in the panel above the battery: not a lot of room left there. Eastern's relay looks like it can be stored farther away, behind the headllights for example. 2. Randy's wires are crimped to connectors that hook up to the relay, and could accidentally come off. I had to pinch the connectors a bit to increase the connection tension. Eastern Beaver's wires look to be soldered onto the relay connector with leads coming out. 3. Randy's harness wraps the wires in a plastic "corragated" sheath that is a bit thick; and pushes out the plastic covers of the panels that cover the battery. Eastern's wires and sheath look to be a lot slimmer. [/QUOTE]
