HD Daymakers

Headlamp Current Draw for an 01 FLTR is 4.58/5 wattage of 55/60

What's the draw of the Day Light kit??Prolly the same with the built in load equalizer...I think using your adapter harness and the jumper in the kit should work,just make sure the connections are very clean and greased(dielectric) to ward off corrosion and the resistance and voltage drop increase should be practically nil...I found an '04 harness schematic and diagrams...they still show only one connector for the headlight(same as yours)and is pretty much a standard head light connector,so I am a little baffled why HD stops the retrofit at '04 and the adapter harness(Y) was used until '06...How can you hook it up to an '06,'05 and '04 but not '03 and earlier
Speedo and tach connectors changed in '04,so you'd be getting deeper into it if you replaced the interconnect harness...
I'd say JB if you really want the Day light kit...go for it,then when you have all the parts in the same room,it would be a heck of a lot easier to see what would need to be done to make it work....

Dealer is a good idea...maybe find out why the retro only goes back to '04...




Or slow down at night..:devil:

I take that back .....it's your call...maybe just buff and polish your head light cover...might brighten things up for ya...

:roflmao: I will have to do that. I just asked a parts manager buddy of mine if he would take some pictures of it for me. actually, maybe I will ask him to make a photocopy of the instructions. I feel bad to ask for that as I know I won't buy them from him.

Thanks dude, sorry that you went through scanning and posting this, I already have this. I appreciate it though. Now I do think that I have made the decision that I do want these bad enough so I am going to go through what I have to get them to work for my bike. I can't help it, I am a custom junkie. :roflmao: I had a good friend of mine that works for a dealership talk to his Master Tech today and he assured me, like you that they will plug right in. Just to let you know, it isn't that I didn't believe you, I was just trying to be thorough as these are a lot of coin for one to take such a huge gamble. Thanks again dude.

By the way, that pig tail that is for the International models, can I just cut that off without any adverse effects from doing so? Not a big deal that it there just curious is all.

I found a part number for the 2010 outer fairing and it's still a 98 number...58733-98B and a 2011 inner is 58735-98D so no major changes since '98

A couple of changes were made in the mounting brackets to change the height and angle over the last few years from what I've found,but the fairings themselves are relatively unchanged

That's a possibility...lower fairing mount for this '08 has an '04 part number... #13 in pic

Man I don't know if I am going to buy locally or not. A part of me says to buy from Horny Toad because of the price difference that he can give me but another part of me says that I should buy from my buddy. I will deal with that then.

As far as the angle goes, yes, the angle of the fairing mounting bracket on the inside of the fairing changed in 04. That is where the difference is, not the headlight mechanics or electrics itself. This is where I may have to have a custom bracket made and then installed. I guess I am just at the point to where I don't care what it is that I have to do, I want them that badly and I will get it to work.

If that's the difference,you won't need to make a custom bracket...just pick up a set of '04 lower brackets and your good to go...

Not sure that I want to change the angle of my fairing really. I like where it is. I would rather change the bracket and retain the angle if I can.

Less air on me as I am riding? meaning I should be able to wear a bikni hat without having to put a fugly windshield on???
