On this yet another grey cold rainy day here in the great PNW, I tackled the job I've been equipped for and haven't done in quite some time. The aux lights went on. I've done this on other bikes, and have to say that doing this sort of thing on NC is just so much easier when it comes to removing plastic and having access. I wired the lights directly to the battery, having cut a little hole at the bottom of that panel for the cables to my USB charger that lives in the frunk and now my cabling for the aux lights. On the other side of the frunk toward the bow of the bike, I enlarged the hole that the retaining bungie runs through right there to handle the cables for the on/off switch and the lights to go through it.
I got all the supplies on the rainforest site. Message me if you are curious what I used. It all worked great.
I already had the crash bars and so mounting was simple in that regard. I really like the on/off switch too as it lights up so I don't forget to turn the lights off. I do this on all my bikes if they don't already have them because here at 48 degrees north we spend a lot of time riding in the dark in the 6 months of winter. Less for me to see than be seen. Whole job start to finish was a couple hours. Yippee!
