MotoMinded Light Kit Install

[Elite Motorsports]

I received most of the components needed to install the MotoMinded Light Kit on our MXR!

Here is a quick...ish installation guide for the new light kit:

Step 1: Prepare the headlight and test fit brackets

Use the mounting hardware included with the kit to mount the MotoMinded/Baja Designs light in the mask.



Press the brake hose guide into place on the lower headlight bracket



Install the rubber dampers in the upper headlight/display bracket





You will reuse the tapered screws and aluminum washers from the bar pad (see later step) to mount the display to this bracket.

I have loosely mounted the brackets to demonstrate how they look on the mask

Mount the turn signals to the lower mask bracket

Step Two:

Remove the bar pad by clipping the two zip ties and carefully move the display out of the way

Then remove the number plate to gain access to the wiring and clip the cable ties holding the display wire in place

disconnect the display wire by carefully lifting the tab and pulling the connector apart


Now you can remove the screws and washers holding the display on the bar pad. You will reuse these later


Resue the mounting screws and washers to attach the display to the upper bracket.

Remove the four screws in the front fender and take the fender off

Remove the stock fender bracket

Now install the lower headlight bracket with turn signals

Install the upper headlight bracket

reconnect the display

Use included zip ties to secure the cable in place


Mount Horn to the center of the top triple clamp

Remove the seat bolt with an 8mm socket


Now remove the mounting hardware for the seat pan (the lower screws have bushings that need to stay with the screws!)






I like to reinsert the screws into the fender for safe keeping. Mounting the hardware in the fender helps me keep track of the bolts and spacers while I am working on other things.

Mount the switch to the handlebars. I had to use a little electrical tape to create a tight fit for the SAR switch.

Remove the bolts for the ignition shroud and move it to the side to allow you to position the wiring harness.

I placed electrical tape on the turn signal wires to help move it through the frame. position the wires under the frame cross member and out the back towards the seat (see photos).





Position brake cable as shown






Connect tail light harness

connect headlight switch harness

 

[Elite Motorsports]

Connect turn signal wires following the included instructions and test the lights.

 

[Elite Motorsports]

Re install the ignition shroud making sure you don't pinch the wires



Secure the headlight wiring and mount the mask

 

[Elite Motorsports]

I will have instructions for the tail light as soon as it arrives.

I must have missed it... where are you tapping into power at for this kit?

There is an existing 12v plugin behind the number plate. The harness includes a connector that plugs into this factory plug.

Any reason why I would get no power from the AUX LIGHTS plug?

Nevermind have to have a load on the plug before you turn on the key for the plug to supply power.
