Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Tools You'll Need:

  • Allen wrench set

  • Screwdriver set

  • Zip ties for cable management

1. Installing the Headlight

  • Step 1: Remove the existing headlight (if applicable) by loosening the mounting bolts.

  • Step 2: Install the headlight bracket on the front fork's double crown first, then remove the screws from both sides of the headlight and attach it to the bracket.

  • Step 3: Plug the headlight's corresponding connector into the matching switch connection for proper functionality.

  • Step 4: Tighten all mounting bolts securely and test the headlight to ensure proper functionality.

2. Installing the Turn Signals

  • Step 1: Choose suitable mounting points on the handlebars or near the rear frame.

  • Step 2: Secure the turn signals using the included brackets and screws.

  • Step 3: Connect the turn signal wiring to the bike’s 12V battery system. For a clean installation, route wires along the bike’s frame using zip ties.

  • Step 4: Test the turn signals to confirm they flash correctly.

3. Installing the Taillight

  • Step 1: Remove the stock taillight by unscrewing the mounting bolts.

  • Step 2: Install the taillight bracket first, then mount the LED taillight and turn signals securely onto the bracket.

Troubleshooting Tips

1. If the Headlight Doesn’t Turn On:

  • Check if the headlight’s power source is compatible with your bike’s voltage.

2. If the Turn Signals Flash Too Fast or Too Slow:

  • This may indicate an issue with the relay. Installing an LED-compatible relay can correct this.

3. If the Taillight Isn’t Bright Enough:

  • Double-check power connections and ensure the taillight receives adequate voltage.

 

Final Tips for a Clean Installation

  • Use zip ties to neatly secure wires along the bike frame.

  • Avoid placing wires near moving parts or sharp edges.

  • Test all lights before heading out for a ride to ensure everything is working correctly.

With these upgrades, your Super73 will not only look better but also provide improved safety and functionality. Enjoy your enhanced night rides!
