rocks Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Alright I have finally decided... I think to go with Hella ff50's mounted on EMP brackets. However the one thing that still may sway me is I'm not sure how those of you who have mounted lights like this have routed the lamp's power cords. Can some one or multiple someones send me pics of how the wires look. Obviously like most here I want a clean install and as of right now I can't picture the wires. I thought of waiting until Vermont for surely I'd be able to see some bikes with this set up live and in person... Thanks in advance Link to comment
smiller Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I don't have any pictures, but you simply route the wires under the brackets and into the gap between the mirror housing and the fairing. This is almost invisible unless you really get up close and examine it. Link to comment
John Ranalletta Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Seth has it. Mounting the bracket between the fairing and the mirror pod enlarges the gap between the two enough to snake the wires through. Works like a charm. Link to comment
rocks Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Great... thanks both of you. I was pretty sure that is how it would go but in one of the pictures i was looking at(head on) it looked like the person had run the wires around the fairing and ito the dash... needless to say that bothered me. Thanks again Link to comment

IT_Mike Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I'm just wondering why you'd be carrying around an EMP? An ElectroMagnetic Pulse, that is... Link to comment
bmwmick Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Actually......those two black thinks on the mounts are EMPSS (Electromagnetic Pulse Sensor Subsystems). Air Force surplus from 1972. Mick Link to comment
92232 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 And did you get those from DM surplus? Link to comment
bmwmick Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 And did you get those from DM surplus? Nah, I brought them with me from Vandenberg, AFB : )) Thought about selling them to the surplus folks down on Kolb but they only wanted to give me $25 each. Mick Link to comment
