Actually those trim panels are bead blasted and clear anodized aluminum. Mine are being powdercoated gloss black. Getting them off the plastic is a bitch, but worth it.Originally Posted by gdisaac07

Oh seriously? Wow did not know that. I assumed they were painted white plastic. I suppose that will make the process of blacking out the bike a little easier.
WoW! I always thought they were plastic also, I took my knife to the back side, sure as sh*t you nailed it anodized aluminum. thx Phelan.
No problemo :)

I ordered handguards to deflect some of the wind that freezes my hands in the 35º mornings.

The lights should make me a bit more visible as well, at 5:30am.
They're cheap, but I need something ASAP. Will change them out later for another set I have my eyes on; blinker and running lights, I'll put the blinkers on a relay to act as hazards for splitting lanes.

How do those hand guards mount? Through the bar end?
Mine did, I think Lee's are the same.

From the front, off/on:
It's not dimming the headlight, the camera adjusted its white balance; these things are bright!
Facing the house, off/on:
Kinda how it's wired from the accessory plug:
I found the only place to mount the supplied switch was under the clutch reservoir at an angle. Weird to get to, but I don't care.
As delivered, my switch didn't work. I popped the toggle out with a small flathead screwdriver and found the contact plate inside to be offset from how it was supposed to be. Put it in the correct orientation, snapped the toggle back in, works like a charm. There were absolutely ZERO instructions, but it's pretty self-explanatory. Brackets A go with guard A, B with B. The wires are not marked + or -, so I just stuck the wires into the acc. plug until the lights came on to figure out which was which.
First impressions; straight forward install, no special tools require keeps it easy, best bard end hardware I've ever used, bright as all hell, sturdy ... I would 100% buy again.
