Baja designs LP6 install | Cali raised moto harness burned up!!

[@Gimps_Garage]

For anyone asking where else they can buy a bracket and harness kit. www.LSFabworks.com they will get you taken care of

[@Jase_d]

Thank you for posting this video. I just finished the install for this headlight. I had issues securing the headlight bracket to the mounting bracket. One of the holes was not threaded.

[@Gimps_Garage]

If you reach out to custom dynamics. I’m sure they’ll make it right. They’re really good with stuff like that and honoring their warranty and products. Hope the video was of some help

[@Gimps_Garage]

Nevermind. I’m dumb lol for some reason I was thinking I added the shark demon lighting from custom dynamics at the end of this one. But if you reach out to A10 Moto (new owner that replaced the chomo) they’ll get you squared away with a new bracket

[@Jase_d]

@@Gimps_Garage thanks bro. I forgot to mention that the baja designs harness that plugs into the factory harness on the bike was incorrect also. When plugging the Baja designs harness into the bike harness, there’s a plastic notch inside of the connector. The notch on the Baja designs harness did not line up correctly. The Baja designs connector has the notch 180 degrees backwards. So I had to take a razor blade to the notch and cut it so I could connect the harness… not impressed and this was a customers bike

[@Gimps_Garage]

@@Jase_d Jesus. That’s insane! Yeah mine damn near lit on fire lol I would definitely suggest using LSFabworks and their Baja kit if you want to keep installing them and maybe not use the other company. That’s a lot of inconsistencies for the price they are.

[@OnyxCVO]

I love LP6 Cali Raised Moto headlights, they just came out with LED Headlight bar style but I love these ones way better, mines are pink and green for each bike. Looking Amazing Gimpy.

[@Gimps_Garage]

Thanks buddy. Appreciate you. I just want to clarify for other people reading these comments. Baja designs makes the lights. Cali raised moto is just a manufacturer that makes a compatible mounting bracket and wiring harness to mount those lights.

[@OnyxCVO]

Cali Raised moto are the ones who installed both of mines at AZ bike week 2023, sorry for the confusion@@Gimps_Garage

[@OnyxCVO]

Wow just read the comments on Chomo, that is AWFUL...done purchasing from them@@Gimps_Garage

[@Rollin_Baggerz]

Woowwww. Great video. Thanks for letting us know about the Cali moto guy! No place for people like that in this community

[@Gimps_Garage]

People like that don’t belong anywhere in this world. But they definitely shouldn’t feel safe in the moto community

[@ghostgr43]

I was going to get Cali raised moto kit, but for the price of their lp6 I was able to get lp6 kit and s2 floorboard light kit from lsfabworks. Got them on and absolutely love both kits. Glad I didn’t get Cali and unknowingly give money to a p3do

[@Gimps_Garage]

Yep. Wish I would’ve known LS fabworks did a full kit. But at the time of buying mine, we didn’t know that Jake was a p3do. But now that I know #LSFabWorks has everything and more. I’ll be sending people their way. 🤘🏻

Great video! Thanks for sharing brother! Where did you get those turn signals from?

[@Gimps_Garage]

@@hibyhihi2881 thank you. turn signals came from #CustomDynamics

Great video my brother and I definitely feel what you’re talking about. Thanks 🙏🏾

Thank you for watching, broseph. Appreciate the love and support 🤘🏻💪🏻

[@fbombtactical6901]

Love the color of your bike

[@Gimps_Garage]

Thanks brother. I do too. Hard candy customs - hotrod red w/ gold flake. Videos don’t do it justice. 🤘🏻

[@TheRch123185]

Thank you for touching on the fact that the lp6’s are not synonymous with Cali raised chomo. I don’t think a lot of people understand they are different companies.

[@Gimps_Garage]

Yep. Unfortunately people see Baja designs or just the lp6 on a road bike and they automatically align that though to Cali raised. Because Cali raised has constantly marketed that image for over a year straight. But definitely entirely separate companies. 🤘🏻

[@a.r.o7697]

If you connected your harness to the battery before it started smoking, it doesn't matter that your 50A fuse was removed. You'll be applying power regardless. It sucks that there was a manufacturing defect that caused that fire. I personally installed Kleen Moto's Rigid Adapt XP lighting kit on my 2016 RG a year ago and it's been great. Also looks better than Baja Designs too due to the curves the lights have.

[@Gimps_Garage]

With their harness. They have a fuse in the harness as well. With that fuse removed. It should’ve been a dead wire. But because there was a ground issue in there harness, it bypassed what should’ve been a protected line. No power should’ve gone to the lights. It’s very strange. Did it all the same way with the replacement harness. No issues. I’ll have to checkout the rigid lighting. Don’t think I’ve ever really looked at them

[@Grantwrenn]

I just did some resarch, I cancled my order with "that company". Not that there is not good people working there I also will not support nor condone what took place with the owner.

[@Gimps_Garage]

💪🏻🤘🏻 get em where it hurts. The bank. And I’ve gotten some nasty messages from people over this. Saying “this was 5 years ago. He did his time…”. Nah. There’s no time limit on condemning people like that and making others aware of it. Idc if it was 40 years ago. We don’t want anyone like that in our moto communities

[@nathanlewis1173]

great video, i would suggest doing a nasa splice anywhere you have to solder or use the melt solder connections you used. makes the joint stronger than the rest of the wire.

[@Gimps_Garage]

That’s actually very good advice. Not sure why I didn’t think about using that. Looks like I’ll be doing that when I swap the harness out for a different brand.

[@Ben-un3gk]

Appreciate you doing this video. Sucks you had to go thru all that.

[@Gimps_Garage]

Definitely was a massive headache. They’re lucky that their faulty harness didn’t completely destroy my bike. Or it would’ve been much worse for CRM.

[@THEM_ROBINSONZ]

Good fot you for calling out that chomo 👏👏👏

[@Gimps_Garage]

Had no choice. People should be aware when they’re dealing with a predator. Should also know where their money is going. Thanks for the sub 🤘🏻🙌🏻

[@THEM_ROBINSONZ]

@Gimps_Garage you deserve the sub. Not only for the back bone but videos look good. Keep up the good work 👏

[@Gimps_Garage]

@@THEM_ROBINSONZ appreciate the kind words. Means a lot. I enjoy teaching and reviewing. If a video helps one person, it was worth the money and time spent. Production will get better when I’m able to relocate the Chevy where the 3rd car spot is and get a table lift into that spot.

[@roadglide_mayhem]

Right on dude. Bike looks great with the Baja lighting. Glad you were able to fix it after the harness failed. Oh and f*** that Jake dude!!!! 🤬

[@Gimps_Garage]

Thanks man. Definitely created a giant headache for me with their harness burning up like that. As always. Much love and thanks for the support🤘🏻

[@chrislindsey2666]

With that kit if you wanted to run the custom dynamic vent light’s would it still mount up?

[@Gimps_Garage]

Yes. They have now included “speed nuts”. The speed nuts come with the vent lights. So if someone already has a vent light, they can contact us for the speed nuts & instructions. Anyone purchasing the vent lights new will have them included in the box.

[@Gotfaz]

If the wiring harness was wired directly to the battery, it wouldn’t matter if the main fuse was plugged in or not.

[@Gimps_Garage]

There’s another inline fuse in the harness. Between the battery and the lighting. It should’ve been a dead wire with that 30A removed.

[@InfamousCreep]

Great video vato, sucks that the wire caught fire

[@Gimps_Garage]

🤘🏻 yeah man. Their harness was trash. Grounding out inside of itself. Luckily it was just their harness that torched and it didn’t have the time to burn through to the bike’s harness.

[@ggspec]

Thanks for the info!

lol yes. Absolute rushed out garbage. For the price. These kits should be flawless. Also. It claims “plug n play”. Soldering joints and crimping terminals is definitely not plug and play.

Do they have it for a street glide

[@Gimps_Garage]

Yes. LS Fabworks makes the Baja designs kit for a street glide.

Sooooo wut made u switch to custom dynamics??? That’s 1500$ out the door????

[@Gimps_Garage]

@@reybruny well the main reason is the company I bought these from was found that the owner was a chomo. Did you watch the video? I sold the lights and threw the Cali raised moto bracket and harness in the trash

[@MrOdin68]

Great video, unfortunately the lights are completely banned in Germany. like so many things.

[@Gimps_Garage]

That’s terrible. Why are they banned? Did you know that #customdynamics is releasing a road legal version? Called the “ #sharkdemons ”. They’re going to be sending me a set to do an install, review and full breakdown on the new DOT legal version.

[@MrOdin68]

In Germany everything has to be approved by an authority. No matter what. The lights could blind other road users. That's enough for a ban ​@@Gimps_Garage

[@Gimps_Garage]

@@MrOdin68 that’s absurd that Germany is that way. Kinda sounds like California with all their ridiculous laws and handing out fines for aftermarket accessories

[@MrOdin68]

yes, it's ridiculous. But it is much, much worse in Germany. If your exhaust is too loud when checked. They take your bike away from you. And you have to walk home. Even if you have false front lights or tail lights. They take your bike away. ​@@Gimps_Garage

Cali Raised website says new ownership

[@Gimps_Garage]

Yep. But too little too late imo. It’s an attempt to save face from the backlash and massive unfollowing they received. All they did was remove the owner from legal papers. I’m sure he’s still involved. Still gets his owner’s cut. Nothing changed but the name of the owner on paper. They knew about his past when they went into business together. They were fine with it then. They’re only opposing it now, because the public knows.

[@chrislamarr]

@@Gimps_Garage Got it. Guess I’m looking elsewhere. Awesome bike by the way!!!

[@Gimps_Garage]

@@chrislamarr if you’re wanting to go with Baja designs, I would say buy the kit from LS Fabworks. It’s a better kit anyways. But for $600 less, you can get the custom dynamic shark demon which are equally as bright and much easier to install. Comes down to personal preference. But I’ve been very pleased and impressed with the shark demon.

[@chrislamarr]

@@Gimps_Garage I would go with the custom dynamics light, but really dig the 1 white, 1 amber look. I have mineral green 2022 RG Limited. Not completely decided on the headlight yet. Thank you for putting this video out. Earned a sub, brother!!
