thanks fellas...I actually wore it for about 20 minutes (while i was trying to figure out that cyclops) and it is a bit better now. the fit itself is fine, just my fat face gets in the way. mustang thanks very much for that info, smaller cheek pads should do the trick. I'm very happy now that I dont have to return it.....

Now if I can just figure out this cyclops. I saw a pic of a bike with one so it can be done. Unfortunately no manual, so i dont know which ones the day time running light and which ones the highbeam etc. (theres 3 lights in this sucker) Also i accidently touched all the wires now no lights come on, not even the stocker.....fuse?

Yeah, most likely you popped a fuse. I'd disconnect the battery before attempting to continue the wiring. The spot/pencil beam would be a high beam. The flood would be your low beam. The baby bulb would be a running light. Being that is only draws 75 watts with both bulbs I'd be inclined to wire it such that on low you have the flood, on high you have both.

Thats what I was trying to accomplish....but wasnt sure which wire did what on the bike. Theres the black ground (obvious one) and then 3 red ones. One with a yellow stripe and 2 with brown stripes I think.

Wheres the fuses?

I don't recall if there are any under the headlight shroud but the majority of the electrics are under the seat on the rear fender.

Thats what I thought, trying to do as little as possibly today as I really hurt my neck last night. I can barely move

Do you know what the wiring is for the lights? Theres the black ground then 3 reds, one with yellow and two with brown or something.

Your headlight should have 3 wires coming out of it. Red with black tracers is high beam; red with yellow tracers is low beam; Black with yellow tracers is ground.

Just jumper it to a battery with the ground attached to see what it lights up

Well, look at all of the colors again. I'll bet that2 of them are the same color (red and black for high beam). One justbranches off ofthe high beam wire and goes to the high beam indicator. It doesn't matter which red and black wire you hook into, but if one is thicker use that.Use a tie-in splice rather that cutting or you will lose thehigh beam indicator.
