Slightly different LED light bar install

mutley · 10-23-2016, 02:04 PM

I decided to put a LED light bar on rather than the standard headlights, but rather than bolting it out in the open I tried to incorporate it into the front plastic. I had to re-enforce the brackets that hold the front plastic and make my own mounting for the LED light bar, but I'm very happy with the results.

While I was at it, I built a fascia plate to hold the switch & volt meter. Simple aluminium frame covered in leather.

Rather than bolting DC/DC converter, Fuse fox & relay to driver side rear wheel arch, I made a simple aluminium plate & bracket to hold everything, similar to the one that holds the controller. I used a fuse box with built in earth buss to make life easier.

Still need to do the rear lights, I'll post those up when finished.

Thanks. I wanted to put the light switch next to the key switch and the volt meter under both as there is enough room (from the outside). But when I removed the dash there is a large metal plate molded into the plastic holding the key switch and I didn't want to cut through that plate. So that's why I ended up making that fascia plate.

The new txt carts come with the new style dash. Trying to see if I can get one for my next build.

Did the rear lights. I used 2 motorcycle LED license plate lights, that have built in running / brake / turn signal.

I also have a 3rd one that will mount to the foot rest of the rear seat once I put that on.
These are what I used

Still need to make the brake light switch, but that'll be another day.
