19) Lamonster Double Vision Daytime Running Lights (4 A-arms)
Difficulty Level - 1.5
Tips - These LED strips are a bit too long. I had to measure it and cut about 2.75" off the ends. I don't want to say 2.75" is THE length to cut off if or when you receive yours, because these may come from different manufacturers with different lengths. I suggest to measure yours prior to cutting it to make sure it fits correctly. The strip has SPECIFIC lines where you can cut so that you don't destroy one of the LED lights.
Notes: I REALLY like how these double A-arm lights transform our bike. I also have the lighted bumpskid and Spyclops II, both LEDs, and it matches them perfectly. If motorists can't see me coming, they're either blind as a bat, or they're busy screwing around with the controls of their radio. They are THAT noticeable, and increases the safety factor even more.
20) WOLO Bad Boy Air Horn
Difficulty Level - 1.5
Tips - Raise the bike for better access underneath. Also, to make it easier on yourself, connect the supplied wiring harness to the horn prior to installing it on the bracket. When you try to connect this wiring harness to the stock bike's original horn wiring, remove the stock horn (just remove the nut). Doing so WILL give you more room to connect them. Then just zip tie the wiring to the hole in the bracket where the stock horn was.
Notes: I'm not exactly sure if the WOLO is any louder than stock, but IF it is, it's very negligible. However, I DO like the tone better, so I guess it was a worthwhile upgrade.
21) RLS Cat Delete Muffler (chrome)
Difficulty Level - 2.0 (if you're old and have lost a lot of muscle strength, have your son or grandson deal with those pesky springs)
Tips - Raise the bike for better access underneath. The bottom two springs are *relatively* easy, but IF you can't remove the springs, try tying a paracord on the supplied spring removal tool. Measure the paracord long enough so that you can use your LEGS instead, because your leg muscles are bigger and A LOT stronger than your arm muscles. I had to do this to remove the top spring. The weird thing was, I didn't have to use this paracord trick to reinstall that same spring. I suppose I finally got the technique right during the second go-around. I would access the top spring from the RIGHT side of the pipe as well. Also, put a little lube on the mounting bars of the new cat delete pipe. Doing so makes it slide easier for a more positive connection.
Notes: I let the bike idle for 10 minutes so the bike's ECU can adjust to the new change. I noticed two things: (1) it has a throatier growl, and (2) it made my garage stink. I took it out for a quick test ride and noticed that it seemed quicker on acceleration. This is probably because I installed the supplied baffle to maintain some backpressure. Coupled with my Two Brothers Racing exhaust, it has a WAY better sound than stock. In addition, this cat delete from RLS not only sounds good, but LOOKS good too. It's such a shame that it's not easily seen and admired due to its location. IMHO, it's one of the better made and better looking cat delete pipes available.
(I installed all 3 mods in one afternoon, as you can see by the difficulty level).
