Wilsons Sandbox

Thought I would share this one, in case anyone tried to duplicate it. I purchased a set of the Acerbis Rally Dual Sport Hand Guards, the ones with the blinkers in them. Well, I still use my stock blinkers, so I thought it would be cool to have a pair of low wattage running lamps. So, I connected them to the low wattage leads that are open beneath the head lamp. Ooops, don't do it. It did look cool for about a week, but when I had a small argument with a healthy tree branch, I busted a bulb. Well, when I went in to change it, no way Jose. It seems the heat of the lamp/bulb melted the plastic that the rubber/plastic bulb holder is made of. No way was that bulb coming out. So I ended up undoing my "cool" modification and now I have two holes where my lamps used to be. So, they might be able to handle a turn signal, but they sure can't handle as a running lamp.
