    Dual H4 mod gone wrong; Help!

    Thanks for the help! It was made by Eastern Beaver on over at H4 Kits. At the bottom of the following page is a diagram, but it's pretty darn straight forward, I'm afraid. Installation At this point I need to manufacture a switch like the one you described. I have no experience here and my...

    Dual H4 mod gone wrong; Help!

    Yea, I noticed that. Forum weirdness. I discovered, by total luck, that when the bike is <10 feet from a wall you can just look and see if the low beams go off when the highs come on. Sadly...they do not in my case. So...I need to make a switch!

    Dual H4 mod gone wrong; Help!

    The way I've got it now, I have a single plug hooked up to both the factory plugs. That single plug then provides signal to the after market relay. I will have to check and see if both filaments are on when I switch to high beam. Is there an easy way to do this without blinding myself...

    Dual H4 mod gone wrong; Help!

    IT WORKS! Thank you so much for the info, Motogiro!! All I needed, it seems, was to know that the wiring pattern was different. I realize that link i provided was for my own harness (which actually was an accident :P) so it and your previous post was all I needed. Thanks a million!

    Dual H4 mod gone wrong; Help!

    OK, I bought an H4 plug I can use to re-arrange what wire goes where. I found your reply here: http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-electrical/52884-headlight-wiring.html?highlight=headlight+wiring+diagram about what wire does what on the factory Fz6 plug. I am searching for a resource that...

    Dual H4 mod gone wrong; Help!

    I will do some more research tomorrow after I've had some sleep. Thanks for your reply!! The kit is from H4 Kits. It is the so called "H4 Dual Headlight Relay Kit." It is NOT intended for the Fz6. My bike is an electrically stock 2007 fz6. Only electrical "mod" so far was installing this...

    Dual H4 mod gone wrong; Help!

    Hello everyone! I tried installing a dual H4 mod and the lights are acting weird. I realize that I didn't know enough about what I was doing to attempt this. Water under the bridge now. Here's the deets: I bought a 100 watt power relay that plugs into the stock H4 plug coming from the...

    ~~~ What did you do to your Bike Today Thread??? ~~~

    Yesterday I repaired broken turn signal mounts. Thought I'd post some pics and a brief description for others with this problem. The PO's wife dropped the bike on both sides in the drive way, resulting in the lower turn signal mount being broken on both sides. I decided to construct a mount...

    ~~~ What did you do to your Bike Today Thread??? ~~~

    I put a Madstad on the bike today and well...that's it! (There are other repairs and upgrades of more technical significance coming, but not today). It has restored my interest in riding. Now when I hit the interstate or highway my neck doesn't hurt. Here's a pic of the old gal. The fuel...

    The thrill is gone

    I haven't been at it as long as a lot of the folks on this forum, but I think the key is to have more than one hobby. I ride mountain bikes (recently every weekend) and it's a great way to build physical fitness and challenge myself when I don't feel like blasting around on the fz6. I've...

    Swan-necking - is it getting more prevalent?

    That sort of thing makes me nervous when I'm in a car and people do it right next to me. I need a rocket-booster ejector seat on my bike...

    TownsendsFJR1300 Awesome Seller

    I bought a fuel tank for a blue 2007 fz6 from TownsendsFJR1300 about 4 months ago and finally had the chance to inspect and install the tank today. First the important points: 1) He provided good pictures of the tank before hand and gave a detailed description. 2) The tank was...

    What Kind Of Bike Is The FZ6?

    The more I think about this question, my second opinion is this: I think some people use bike classification as a way to tell you how serious they are. To some people, an r6 is a "sport bike," an r1 is a "super sport," a Panigale is a "hyper sport," and a Kawasaki H2 is so damn fast that...

    What Kind Of Bike Is The FZ6?

    Honestly my answer depends on who's asking. I tell my family and conservative, non biker types that it's a sport bike since otherwise they don't believe me. Besides, the fz6 looks and drives more like a sport bike than anything else, so it's a simple and fair answer. When talking to sport...

    Cali cops must be really laid back

    My guess is that the road brings tv crews, tourists, and money to whatever county the road is located in.

    FJ-09; A most certain replacement for my FZ6

    You may see it that way, but the people who buy cruisers might not. I get this feeling that the Indian will compete directly with Harley buyers, whereas the few times I've seen a Victory on the road the driver has been...not exactly your typical Harley rider.

    FJ-09; A most certain replacement for my FZ6

    Do you know the market for Indian overlaps significantly with the market for Victory? Just a thought.

    Looking at FZ6 - Seeking Comfort Advice

    I rode from Georgia to Texas on my 2007 fz6, and my neck back and ass were killing me. I love my bike but it is just not as comfortable as a more distance oriented bike will be.
