Lets put these in order with easiest first.
1. Mirror extenders. These are 1" delrin $20 off e bay.
2. Loud horn. I went super budget on this one. Harbor freight dual snail trumpet horns for $10. These are mounted inside the side fairings (1250s model) at the rear. Very tight fit but they are so light that simple homemade steel straps hold them in place. they are ran off a radioshack relay and are pretty loud.
3. HID headlights. 35watt 5000k upper and lower, from DDM. I know these are considered by many to be cheap Chinese junk but after 2 years no problems at all. I wanted to go with 55watt size but was afraid of excessive heat melting the housing. Anyway, these are much brighter than stock. Almost as bright as those in my car.
Like the horn, these are on relays. The daytime running light relay being triggered by the right front marker light.. In addition, it is a delay relay. This relay allows for adjustable delay for turn on and off. This way I have time (20 sec) to start motor before light is lit. Also, I set the "off" delay to 60 sec to give me illuminated time to deal with the bike at night.
4. Rear rack. The commercially available racks are too rich for me so I made my own. On the twistedthrottle website there is a rack by sw-motech which was my model.
I purchased online 1/8'x12"x24" grade 3003 (I think). Cost about $18 + $20 shipping.
After making a paper template, I cut the aluminum with a jigsaw and lots of wd40. Then beltsand everything straight and smooth, scored metal with circular saw on bend lines, and bent it using my homemade, built just for the job, wooden brake. Hint, this step takes a lot more muscle than brains, 1/8 aluminum is very strong.
Then line it up, mark and drill mounting holes. I left stock handle in place, so my unit fits over. Stock bolts were too short, so longer bolts and some spacers were needed. Picture shows givi mounting bracket for 30 liter top case. Finish is satin rattle can black. As most of it is covered by the mounting bracket it looks fine.
5. See other post "race tech gold valve". In the interest of budget cutting, I might suggest changing only the stock front springs for race tech units, and forget the gold valves. This would greatly simplify install and save 50% cost. Probably almost as good.
