    The USB was here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    The light switch was here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Perfect factory direct plug on the switch. I used the hot and ground from the dummy plug for the USB. Red and black wire came out and plugged right into the USB.

    Bolts right in, much louder.


    May I ask What type of horn and where did you purchase it. Thanks

    Knock off Fiamm I got from AutoZone. It comes in a high low set. I used only the high. You can get them at Harbor Freight as well.

    Saw an interesting USB on another post, so I thought I would try it. Plug and play like the one I used:


    But the new one has a volt meter, which I wanted to monitor when I have all the accessories and heated gear turned on.




    Plug and play, and works perfectly.

    Also note the GPS mount.

    I have more miles on it than she does, but she doesn't like the cold. That will change in the spring.

    What are these called? I have heated grips but the tips of my fingers get so cold. Thanks.

    Jim,

    Could we get an update on the hard saddle bags? How are you and your wife liking them?

    They are holding up great and look good. She rides to work several times a week, and uses them daily.

    @Jim Von
    the bags lights in your first post are awesome.
    I have the same bags and would like to have the lights on my bags work like yours.
    How did you connect the bag lights to get the dual function?

    Thanks for the update Jim. Looks like I'll be ordering a set for my '08 GS.

    ....I have these also .... I believe Warlock had a problem with the lock/hanging system ..... one of His bags came OFF !! ...so He devised a method of preventing this .... I can't remember exactly how He did it .... but I came up with a different way to solve this problem .... to prevent the bags from EVER coming OFF by accident ..... I welded a NUT on the inside area of the mounting bracket ..... A bolt is now threaded thru the inside of the Bag into this NUT ..... after you open the bag you must remove the Bolt in order to get the Bag to release ..... The Bolt prevents the latch from EVER coming loose .... Mike
