Light Bar - High/Low

This is a pretty good explanation of wiring driving lights through a relay.

Probably the best $100 I've spend so far?

I went solo with the Grasshopper backrest and don't have any problem with how it looks. But we all see things differently.

What could void an extended warranty?

That's excellent advice. The Harley forum has two ongoing threads: Good Dealer Experiences and Bad Dealer Experiences. I think many of the Bad Dealer Experiences could have been avoided with a...

Amazing how much diff 2" risers make

If you feel that you have to stretch to keep your hands on the handlebar, particularly in a tight turn, then yes. It's not just the raising of the bar, it's bringing them closer to you.

Driver backrest with a stock seat?

Yes, and what a tremendous difference the Grasshopper backrest made. At first, it seems to push forward slightly. But it's like the "lumbar support" in an automobile seat and kind of fits into the...

Tach---Which one??

I've been satisfied with my Baron's Bullet Tach.

The bracket also provided a flat spot to stick my LED voltmeter.

nomad 1600 paint

With time running out on your initial two year warranty, I would not depend on letters and pictures to Kawasaki. I would take your bike to a Kawasaki dealer and have your problem documented prior to...

Hammer's suggestion of adding a visible volt meter is excellent. I have the same LED meter he's talking about (Kuryakyn 4219).

Thanks Cactus. Your explanation triggered the circuit in my brain that now allows me to understand the function of a relay.

Spot light Bulbs

I think macmac is probably correct; whoever previously installed your bulbs got their greasy finger prints on them. I've been running H-3 55W amber bulbs wired on a relay with no problems at all.
