Well I just added the new mini bullet signals to my Shadow.... what a pain in the ass that was! Turned out to be more of a project than I thought it would be, and I only installed the rear ones! I made my own brackets and wired the whole thing up. Unfortunatly Im not and electrician and could not figure out why the signals wouldnt work. So a few fuses and alot of cussing :madani: later my buddy told me to use some rubber gromets on the brackets where the blinkers are attached. DOH! Well needless to say that did the trick. Plus I added a new tool bag that I got for Christmas from my wife. I will upload the pics of the new upgrades some time this week. The key to wiring is grounding :thumbsup:

I'm glad you figured that out. You can mount those bullet lights right on the fender strut. You just need the hollow bolts and it gives it a nice clean look. The only bad thing is when you want to remove the fender for anything you have to cut the wires and re do them. Needless to say, I don't remove my fender often!

Not a very good picture but here's what it looks like http://209.15.36.61/swcart/shop/red_rear_5.jpg

Now that's from Scootworks (http://209.15.36.61/swcart/shop.cgi/page=partshonlightbar1.htm/SID=1135988063.8798), keep in mind that the fender struts on a spirit are 10mm not 8mm. They are listed on the link in the page to scootworks.

Did you have any grounding problems using the hollow bolts? I will get a pic of mine on here to show yall exactly how I have mine mounted.

Some of my old pics showed them. I'll have some new ones up soon. No grounding problems at all. I love the look, but like I said, If you need to remove the fender you have to take the lights out, cut the wires and re do everything. The wiring is a bit of a pain since you have to do all of it after the fender is installed. I'll have pics up soon. The new risers are going on soon and the new shocks will be here this week.
