During the Christmas break and since my Fuzeblock showed up on the 26th I decided to tear into the FJR and add some of my accumulated farkles. All turned out very well with some minor "adjustments" needed now but overall I am pretty pleased.
I would have finished a day earlier but dropped an 8mm socket into the nether-regions of the bike innards and spent several hours taking it apart piece by piece until I found it.
Martin Driving Lights - these cost less than half of what Motolights cost and while some may argue with the quality, they were exactly what I was looking for. They come with a switch and wiring harness which I quickly dsipatched to make my own set-up.
Powerlet Plugs - Mounted them on the right side. One is switched power and one is constant.
LED License plate frame connected to Back-Off brake light module - I have it set for five flashes and then steady when I apply the brakes.
Kuryakyn LED Voltmeter - I had one of these on my Valkyrie and it worked well. Photocell dims the LEDs in the dark. I need to build a little backplate to improve the viewing angle. A project for another day.
Switches for the driving lights and hardwired garage door opener. The switch with the green LED is for the driving lights and the black one is a momentary on/off for the garage door opener. Both are waterproof and the bezel fit nicely into the stock dash opening with a little dremel trimming to enlarge the opening just a bit.
Here's the Fuzeblock. The garage door opener is hidden under there somewhere too. The external relay is for the driving lights to be turned off when the highbeams are on. This is actually opposite of how it should be but I wanted the driving lights to work with the low beams for better visability by others. I'll neaten up the wires when I get some more tie-wraps which I ran out of during the install. I also installed a 30amp fuse before the Fuzeblock just in case. I also have my Garmin Zumo GPS mount hooked into the Fuzeblock.
All in all a fun three day project.
