What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

[KJShover]

Ordered a HID kit from www.ddmtuning.com. The kit I ordered is the double 35w xenon in 6000k flavor.

$61.50 for the two setups and USPS priority shipping. I should have it in my hands by wednesday. With the install and pictures to follow. I'm going to take some video and stills of the way the lights light up now and then after the install.

Bolted on R1 Calipers and bled my brakes. Getting ready to test ride and hoping for noticable improvment.

Put my headlight on my 89 & done a bunch of cleaning on the 90 & synched the carbs & painted the clutch & brake masters & put a new sending unit in.

Road back from NY in some rain today. But, never been on a bad ride yet, and it was worth every second. I got to see my Bud. Dan-o and met his wonderful wife Heidi.

Off we went last night to watch Zak (meanmax) race at Lebanon Valley Raceway. Dan-o and I had a great ride through the hills and winding roads of the Columbia County hills. No shortage of Dear along those rhodes, so we almost had to do the speed limit some of the time.

We met up with Zak, and it was great to see him again. We chatted a bit. Soon it was time for ZAK to get down to business, and I've got to tell you he does the Vmax Community proud. He's quite a guy. Here are some of the pics.

Late last night I saw that my HID was in the Fairbanks sorting area. So I tore the lighting off my bike. Only to discover that it didn't make the trucks in time. oh well, I can wait until monday.

*update* post office guy just left my house, A package was left on the truck. My HID Install tonight.

My HID kit, from ddmtunin.com, came in yesterday, After another bout with insomnia I desided to put my awakness to good use and installed my HID. I almost took a bunch of pictures and to a writeup. But my headlights required a little bit of work.

The little bit of work was; cut wiring harness apart, trim the wires, and make my own wiring harness. I think it came out pretty good. I had some extra 1" casing to wrap the new, soldered and shrink wrapped wire. I like to keep things as stock looking as possible. The ballasts fit real nice under my left scoop. Good thing I have the double scoops. I don't think I could have fit 2 ballasts under the scoop.

There is a cool projection effect from the lights shining. I call it "Skull and Crossbones" for obvious reasons. I don't know where it's coming from There is no light pollution, my headlights project straight. I think it might have somthing to do with the reflectors in the headlight. What ever it is, I'm not fixing it. Skull and crossbones and a blacked out Vmax seems like a good pair.

Here are some pics after redoing the wiring, The skull and crossbones, before and after pictures with high and low beams.

Installed HID this morning.
