I am starting on the farkles for my K1600GT this week.
I've put the lit roundels, altrider engine bars, and stebel horn on so far. I started the CDBane driving light mod but the left one works and the right one doesn't. I suppose the crash did the right one in for good. I'll have to order a new set.

If you do any electrical and want to use waterproof connectors, I've got the high $ crimpers I'll loan you.

I used the 8 pin connector from my PDM-60 and a couple of the 2-pin connectors for accessories I installed.


8-pin (plug and receptacle) p/n 38178 and p/n 38179

Required pins are:

16-18 gauge wire (pin and socket) p/n 38194 and p/n 38195
14-16 guage wire (pin and socket) p/n 38196 and p/n 38197

8 pin connector - http://www.waytekwire.com/item/38178/8-PIN-CONNECTOR-PLUG-AT/

8 pin recepticle - http://www.waytekwire.com/item/38179/8-PIN-RECEPTACLE-CONNECTOR-AT/


The crimpers that I have (p/n 613) will crimp only the pin styles as shown in the part numbers above.


Since all of the slots weren't used, I plugged a couple.

Thanks Joe. I don't think I shall need the high $ connectors yet for anything I am going to install

So far I have mounted the SPOT 3 and Adaptiv Radar Detector on the handlebars but still have to wire up the Adaptiv.

This weekend I hope to take the tupperware off once to mount:

Protection:
- AltRider Engine Guard
- C4 Rear Tip over Guards
Electrical and Lights
- PDM60
- Clearwater CanOpener 4 and Ericka 6,000 lumens driving lights :D
- Skene Design P3 LED Brake and Rear Turn Signals
- Whelen LIN3 high intensity LED Brake light
- Stebel Horn
- Warm & Safe Heated Gear Cable and Socket

I will install a connection block with the PDM60 and will otherwise use Posilock for the connections.

Matching Orange Top Box :D will be installed by the dealer (along with a new rear tire!) on Wednesday.
Cannot decide between the CDBane driving light or the Skene Design 150 Controller. I'll see how the P3 works and decide.
