Re: Melted Headlight connector
Yeah, I saw that and wanted to reply to add myself as another melted connector.
It should be pretty easy to source a replacement connector and then just add a relay and thicker wire. I emailed Jim at eastern beaver to see if he would be interested in an H7 headlight kit similar to his H4 kits... would make things nice and tidy knowing his work.
I quickly added 65w bulbs after getting my bike so I'm thinking that was my problem. I added HIDs which were back to 55w and never notice the connector melting more than what little it was after my 65w bulb... ran several thousands of miles w/HIDs and no melting but decided to pull the HIDs as I'm really wanting the Squadrons and saw where the remote for those may not work well w/HIDs... only 10 miles after the 65w'ers went back in did they start flickering and the melting was bad.
I put the 55w oems back in and the connector still gets very hot so I think it's compromised and a replacement may be good enough, not sure. I will more than likely just upgrade all that wiring to heavy duty stuff.
