Geve my scoot antother bath today. In missouri we are currently in the rainy season and it is very difficult to keep a clean scoot. Next week we are supposed to be in the mid 90s :-\ what ever happened to spring.

Took my 2011 DT300 "Hardly Davidson, Orange and Black Division" on a 50 mile cruise, take in one compliment at a stop, then settled back home in front of my PC to order up a new OEM windshield.

  I tore the front end apart on my X-Town 300i ABS and ordered a pair of Auxito H4 led bulbs for it. They will be here Saturday and hopefully I'll remember how to re-assemble the scoot. I'm also waiting for my Cockpit GPS mounting bracket to arrive.

I swapped out the OEM windscreen for a Givi on my AK550. While I had the windscreen out, I opened up the front end a bit more and moved the battery tender lead from it’s original place hanging above the front wheel into the right-hand glove box. I should be able to get pictures tomorrow; then will hit the road to test how well the Givi windscreen protects me and to confirm if I need to cut the height to enable me to see over the screen.

Follow-up: Installed my new LED lights. While I had the front end off, I also put small white LED's in the European turn signal locations. What a HUGE improvement. If you X-Town owners want MUCH better lights, go for it. I tried to upload pictures, but my files were too big. I also installed a new GPS mounting bar and that looks great also.

Hope you get the photo thing sorted - would like to see the improved LEDs.

wow, those are some bright lights! How do they look on the road? Are they positioned so they're not blinding oncoming traffic? That high beam looks to be putting out a TON of light.

  Been raining a lot, so not riding much. No one flashing lights at me yet. Haven't done much back road riding yet to see about high beam. These lights are easily adjustable with a long (16") phillips screwdriver. Very happy with results so far!

         This picture shows what they look like in the daylight. Without the glare you can see where I installed white LED's where the European turn signals normally go.

   Here's my Garmin GPS mounted on my scooter. This mounting bracket bolted right on and looks great!

New 12 volt accessory plug
« Reply #29 on: June 14, 2022, 12:42:03 AM »
  Installed another 12-volt accessory plug for my GPS. This one is wired and fused directly to the battery. It's hot all the time.
