Hello From Washington State

[Jackel]

My name is Mike and have been riding for the pass few years on my 2005 VTX 1300 Reto. I enjoy every minute out on the road with the wind to my face. I look forward in meeting as many new friends as possible. I want to add more chrome to my ride and am looking to add fork mount driving lights and would apprecate any advise. Also been looking at Sebel horns.

Welcome Mike to the Chrome Addict Cafe. You've come to the right place. There will be plenty of advice on your lights and horn. You may just want to start a thread for just that and watch the piling on begin. Enjoy

Hey, you stole part of my sig line!


Oh, and welcome, Jackel, to the place where the rubber heats the road!

Driving lights? Where on the fork? If you wamt it low. like by the wheel hub, try the PIAA kit, other wise, there are a ton of other choices for up around the triple tree.

Welcome, I drilled my turn signal bar and mounted 2 55 watt driving lights to it.

Stebel horn is a BLAST
For a mount I used some angle iron and mounted under the bike on the swingarm.
Kit comes with all but the angle iron mount but you can buy one.

Thanx all for the GREAT ideas. Charlie when you made your mod to the signal bar for your lights did you mount them above or below the bar? Also could you help me with the wiring you did. That's really not my area. Thanx in advance

I put the lights on the front side of the bar, had to take signals off and measure so I could drill and put nuts on the inside without hitting the signal brackets.

I used this page for locating what wires I could hook into to shut off when starting, I think I tied the relay into a brown wire and it shuts the lights off by doing this I can also run high beam with them on.
