I ordered this a few days ago, only to recieve a mail from Sherri at Newspeedmaster telling me they are discontinued (and that the fender bib I ordered are in production and they are expecting them in in about 4 weeks). Items not in stock and a web page not up to date is a rant for another thread,

but

I figured it can't be to hard to make something similar myself. I thought about using the stock stems from the rear turn signals and then attach that to the headlight mount, but what about the wires? Is it just finding the right wires in the headlight bucket, cutting those and then splice the 8 wires (4 from each turn signal) back together? Do anybody have a pictures of the wires in the headlight bucket and ponitng out the right ones for me? Wiring is not my forté...

Just open the hand controls ,look at the wires and note color. Then trace to where they connect in the bucket.

One of our gurus here (sandman aka Matt) provides this picture at his website which answers your question. In this picture you're looking inside the headlight bucket.



Interesting you should bring this up. I JUST added some indicators to my bike and tapped into those same wires in the pictures. In my case I had good ground (earth) so I only had to use the green wire from each pair shown. The black is essentially, ground (earth).

It's tight in there and you'll need patience while splicing and making connections but it's doable. Enjoy!!
