Manny's MX build


Recommended Posts

So there was a slight snag with the bracket but nothing serious it just kept it from fitting completely flush but it's all good and fixed now I should have it back either today or tomorrow. I also sent JL engineering my AC racing grab bar to add some color.

So finally got around to testing out the bumper with the integrated LED light bar. I should have the reg/rectifier here soon so I figured I would mount it for those of you that just want to mount the bumper with the integrated LED light bar without it solely. Of course the light bar isn't as bright as it gets since it's still running off AC power in the 2nd picture facing the quad, so you have to rev it up to get it to its full brightness which I couldn't do at the same time. Here's a picture of how easy it is to install. I used the yellow wire since that's for your brights so the light bar is only on when I turn the high's on but you could also run 2 wires from the positive wire off the LED bar and plug it into the green for when you turn on your low's and the other to the high's, this way the light bar is always on but since I'm going to be changing up this set up I only used just the wire off the LED bar and tapped into the yellow wire which is high's. Anyways here's a picture of that, I used T-tap wire connectors for easy of instal instead of soldering them in..if you decide to do this as your permanent set up I'd wrap it in electrical tape to keep water and debri out.

Now this picture is with the only the stock lights on low but I'm revving the bike to get it to its maximum wattage output (brightest)

This is the money picture now, stock lights set on high which turns on the light bar and I'm also revving it up to get it to its peak output here once again for good comparison. The picture doesn't don't justice of course but you all get a good idea of how much nicer it is.

Is you stator floated in this pic?

It is but that doesn't matter as its running off AC power which is why I had to keep the revs up to get it as bright. Once I get the other rectifier and battery pack and plug it in, then it'll be running off DC power and I won't have to worry about having to rev it to get them as bright and even switch them on without the bike running.

I never understood the guys who run crazy high wattage LED lights on high horsepower bikes.. Do you really ride your bikes at night to its full potential or just laze easy nighttime riding?

That's like me asking if you guys in New York are ever on dirt and not wheeling or burning out at stop lights. Can't speak for the rest of the guys but apprently you've never watched a baja 1000 race as it goes into the night.
