299 viewsThe 90-degree boot is on the wire and ready to be slid down. As per the instructions, just a spritz (very light coat) of WD-40 really helps move the boot down the wire.May 08, 2011

298 viewsI installed the new wire on the same path as the stock wire, just moved the zip-tie a little closer to the right so the wire wouldn't rub on the oil line fitting. I tried to position the wires from rubbing against any parts.May 08, 2011

290 viewsPut the plug wire on the spark plug and figure out how long you need it. This was a short wire and I had half left over. Motorcycle spark plug wires tend to be shorter than your average V8.May 08, 2011

300 viewsSlipping the boot past the end of the wire can be a little tricky so hemostats are helpful in pulling. Remember to use some WD-40 to help lubricate the wire. The blue crimpers have an MSD die in them for crimping the connectors to the wires. May 08, 2011

Make sure the retaining clip fits inside the bottom of the headlamp bucket and then gently push the bottom of the headlamp towards the bike body. Snug retaining screw to secure headlamp but don't over-tighten!Feb 23, 2011
