Hey All,
I've put the PIAA 004XT driving lights on the XB12X (lights are only ~2.5" diameter and very light but have 55W H3 bulbs). I'll put pics on my website sometime.

The crazy ideas came about when I realized the fuse block (blue seas 5025) and the driving light relay would fit under the flyscreen.
I may move them up there this winter. This way only 2 wires are snaked up the frame to the front from the battery. I'll keep you all posted.
Cheers

Sounds like a nice set-up Joe. Please post pictures and further description of both your light mounting as well as the electrical stuff.

Thanks

Henrik

Hey Guys,
OK pics will be posted soon. Work is crazy now (9-10hr days) as a deadline is fast approaching on Thursday COB. I hope I can remember the process for putting the pics on my website. It's been 2yrs since I updated it last. I'm actually pretty psyched about moving the fuse box. It will clean things up alot.
Cheers

I thought about putting mine under the flyscreen, but decided against it because a). thinking accessibility would not be as easy, b). unless it's just me, the stock horn sounds like a wet fart - I've got plans to upgrade it to something a little more substantial.

For the time being at least, under the seat seems to work pretty well for me, without really taking up too much room - also, I have it wired in such a way (switched power comes from the rear accessory socket via an accessory plug) that I have not had to alter or cut into the stock setup.

I'm keen to see how your set up works 2hogs

Cheers

yep crazy hrs when you only get paid for 8 of them :-)

I thought about the limited access also. My hope is if everything is wired right they won't need replaced too often.

I'm hoping a nice dual horn setup from the aftermarket will fit along with the fuse block.
Just gotta order the horns and do a test fit.
Cheers

This is on a Ducati and would probably work for the Uly also. I have written the company to see if they are going to produce one specifically for the Uly. Company is Saeng and the product is called a Wing-Tip. I think it may be similar to what a lot of people would like to see on the Uly.
