Tools Suggested
Metric and SAE (Allen)
wrenches, sockets and related hand tools, soldering iron and related wiring
tools.
Note
While installation is
rather straightforward, dealer installation is recommended for those individuals
not comfortable with wiring and other related skills required for the
installation of this product.
Please note that the
flash rate will vary from bike to bike based on the bike's total electrical load
impedance, and can be modified with the installation of a flasher module (’04
models) or load equalizer (’05 models and up with self canceling turn signals),
not included.
PROCEDURE
Average Time: 1-1½ HOURS
- Prior to install if
you'd like to test each LED, simply hold the correct wires to the
corresponding terminals on the battery or any other 12-volt source. Note
that the purple wire of the LED silver bullet corresponds to the high
intensity LEDs while the blue wire corresponds to the low intensity LEDs.
Black is ground.
- Prior to hard
wiring/soldering it is recommend that you mock-up the wiring to determine
your flash rate and four-way flasher function to determine whether or not a
flasher module or load equalizer is needed or desired.
- Prior to installing
the silver bullets, choose which style bezel you prefer, visor or
visor-less.
- Carefully remove the
headlight trim ring and headlight assembly. Remove stock front turn
signal/clamp assembly.
- Disconnect the stock
turn signals from their corresponding harnesses inside the headlight
bucket. Expose the wiring to allow you to set up and splice and solder the
wires accordingly. Note that you can cut the wiring harness connectors from
the stock turn signals and use them on your new LED bullets to plug them
directly into the bike’s stock wiring harness, but be careful that proper
function is achieved prior to soldering and making connections permanent.

Be advised that is extremely likely that your bike’s right front turn signal
was incorrectly wired with reverse polarity. If your LEDs don’t light when
wired correctly (as above), then simply switch your wires on the right side
so that your LEDs purple wire (high intensity) is connected to the stock
black/ground wire and vice versa.
- Please note that
the amber LED silver bullets are dual intensity, while the stock system is
single intensity (turn signal only). If you wish to wire your silver
bullets to also function as running lights, the blue wire from each silver
bullet must be wired to a “constant-on”/power wire, such as the headlight
low beam. If you do not wish to wire your turn signals for dual intensity
then the blue wires should be tied off.
- Be careful to run
the wires in a manner that will avoid them being pinched when the handlebars
are turned. Once all your wires are set up in the bucket, splice and solder
your flasher module (if applicable, on ’04 Kingpin’s ONLY) in with the stock
wiring and LED turn signal wiring. Please note that on ’04 Kingpins,
the flasher module can be installed in place of the factory flasher relay at
any time during or after the installation of the front LED turn signals and
does not require any duplication or reversal of prior install work.
- Once testing and
function check is complete, reinstall headlight and double check any
nuts/bolts for proper re-installation prior to riding.
- Please note that due
to voltage fluctuations that it may be necessary to start the bike to
achieve proper turn signal function, this will be especially necessary if
you note one side is flashing faster than the other.
- Thread the silver
bullet mounting bolt through the hole of the clamp and tighten it firmly.
Tighten the clamp firmly and evenly around the fork legs flush with the top
of the lower triple tree. To achieve maximum light viewing angle and
intensity, the surface of the LED silver bullet should be as close to
perpendicular to the ground as possible.
- You’re done, what
are you waiting for…
Time to ride…
