EASY DIY KLR 650 High Beam Activated Aux Lights! | Nilight 4" Cube LED Test

[@deltabravo1257]

4:10 Hey Ben, you need to heat those up until the sleeve disappears. That sleeve is a ring of solder. When it gets hot enough, it melts into the wire strands and "solders" the wires together. Since I can still see the ring (sleeve), it means they aren't properly soldering the wires together.

[@BlazinBlades]

Is there anyone on KZbin land having more fun on their KLR than you dude? Way to go bro!!! 🍻🍻

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Haha thanks man!

[@adamcook5433]

Your videos really got me on the KLR. Ill be picking up a new one in Lacrosse next week.

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Nice! Let me know how you like it!

[@billcotton1551]

Riding a KLR on ice. What could possibly go wrong? The new lights are great.

[@Grunt49]

Don't touch the front brake!

[@dederonair]

Those solder connectors looked pretty cool, never seen that before!

[@SwankyCatProductions]

They are! I've been using them a little more and figured out you just need to trim the wire down a bit more and you don't end up with the stray strands.

[@mattbarrois8675]

Nice I already have those exact lights glad you sent me the link to this video

[@RADIOACTIVEMASCULINITY]

I like that set up with the running lights and high beam. I may copy your idea 💪

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Thanks man, I love it!

[@Bryanvcarbino]

I might be wrong but the link you provided for the Posi-lock is for an in-line connecter. Not one that taps into a live wire that’s not cut

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Yep looks like it was wrong, thanks!

[@mkramsauer]

Another great video brother 👊 thank you for the updates and thorough explanation really appreciate your channel

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Thank you! Glad you find it helpful!

[@mkramsauer]

@@SwankyCatProductions heck yeah you were one of the first ones I started following and I've used a bunch of your ideas and or parts on my KLR

[@abeiam1357]

@@SwankyCatProductions Do you prefer these lights or the other round ones you had installed prior?

[@hellraisingvtec]

Great and helpful video. Thanks

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Glad to hear it. Thank you!

[@ryanw6009]

Might do it to my versys x the lights are very bad at night!

[@michiganmoto7687]

Those lights look amazing! But how night blind does it leave you when you have to put dims on?

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Haha yeah that is sort of a problem but it's not to bad and totally worth it.

[@abeiam1357]

Man I’m really considering trying this but I’m not good when it comes to electronics. I feel like I would mess it up. Looks great though

[@joshburns6873]

Hey man I hope this reaches you well, I used your links to purchase the lights and tools associated with installation for the klr 650 build you did, I wanted to ask if you tucked that entire long thick harness up in the fairing or if you cut and shortened it, as I said before I got the very same lights you did.

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Nice! Thank you! I think I chopped a bit off the switch line, but left the entire mess of wires down by where the harness plugged into the bikes original wiring.

[@joshburns6873]

@@SwankyCatProductions I did pretty much the same, got it all buttoned up last night, btw wanted to let you know you played a big part in my decision to buy this new klr, almost had it a month now and love it so far, first dual purpose bike.

[@dougmate2378]

Nice, the current Amazon lights I have for my KLR I'm not a fan at all. Those connections you have are butt ties. They are used a lot in aviation, really good connection

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Butt Ties?! Haha. They definitely seem to work every well, not to hard to install either.

[@dougmate2378]

@@SwankyCatProductions No sir not at all. We usually chuckle when Avionics says the name haha. super easy to use., and very durable. Do you get credit for people buying those lights? Your review made me impulse buy lol thanks dude :) 🚁✈🏎🏍

[@danreich4320]

Nice job

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Thanks!

[@SkywalkerPMs]

Im doing this!

[@SwankyCatProductions]

You'll be glad you did!

[@drkingofokay]

Looking to do this on my Gen 2. Is it same method?

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Similar, you just need to find the high beam wire. I believe I connected to mine on my old Gen2, under the tank.

[@ronwetmore1542]

what size tank bag is that you have don't know what size to get

[@SwankyCatProductions]

I've got the large one, gets in the way a little when standing but it's well worth it for the convenience.
