• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I need help with this Trail Tech X2!!!

I brought a fused wire from the battery for 87 and triggered it (86) with the high beam wire from the switch.

Okay, so do you now have one or two positive wires going to the low beam? I.e. how do you have the low beam on when the high beams are off?
 
Sicass racing flush mount turn signals on the bottom sides of the X2. I will take a picture tonight and post it. The best signals I have found yet and slick looking.

The low beam is on because the relay is open when low beam is selected. When high beam is selected the power is directed from the switch to the high beam bulb but also closes the relay to keep the low beam on.
The 86 (on/off switch) wire is connected at the relay spade connector with the high beam to the headlight wire.
The 30/51 (power out) wire is connected at the relay spade connector with the low beam to the headlight wire.
So you could say I have two wires connected to both the low and high beams.
I hope I have explained this in a way that it makes sense.
 
Mine worked perfect. If they're Sicass racing lights, they should have some kind of warranty I would think. They are connected to the right wires? Kind of weird.
 
I'll have to fool with them again. But yeah, I drilled and mounted them and I'm positive they got a snug connection. I have the same ones one the rear and have had no issues with those. Will do some further investigation tomorrow.
 
I forgot to add that I put a led flasher on the bike from superbright LEDs years ago. After looking in the manual and seeing how many watts each incandescent bulb used, I switched over to LEDs so I could run both high and low beams with the trailtech X2, and not worry about taxing the stator to much. The stock light was pathetic, and I wanted more power!

I just tried one of those H3 led bulbs off of amazon in the low beam, and for anyone who has thought about it, don't waste your time. It's bright looking at it, but doesn't put any useable light out. I had one of those " ah ha " moments one night, thinking it might work.
