Step 2: Find your make and model in the following list and follow the instruction provided.

Honda VTX1300 and VT750 ACE installations:

Assemble supplied L-bracket and threaded spacer together using supplied bolt and washers, then install
that assembly to the stock turn signal bar using the stock hardware. See Photo AA
Cut the wires from stock turn signal approx 1" from signal housing.
Install the lamp assembly onto the threaded spacer by inserting wires through the spacer, and secure with
the set screws on bottom of lamp assembly. Repeat on other side.
Strip back insulator on each of the wires you just cut from stock signals, and from the three wires coming
out of each light bar mount. Wiring is as follows:
Lt BLUE/White and ORANGE/White = Driving lights
ORANGE = Left turn
Lt BLUE = Right turn
Make connections with supplied butt connectors, leaving no part of exposed bare wire uncovered.
Remount complete light bar back onto bike with stock hardware.
Some windscreens must also be adjusted to their top mounting position for clearance.

Yamaha installations:

Cut the wires from stock turn signal approx 1" from signal housing.
You will need to cut the stock light bar. Cut off at least 1-5/8" but no more than 1-3/4". Measure from end
of larger diameter tube (do not include in your measurement the area that stock signal was mounted on). We
recommend a tube cutter, but a hacksaw will suffice. Make sure that you deburr the inside of the cut area
to avoid electrical shorts in the future. See Photo BB
Strip back insulator on each of the wires you just cut from the stock signals, and from the two wires
coming out of each light bar mount. Wiring is as follows:
BLUE = Driving lights (left & right)
BROWN = Left turn
GREEN = Right turn
Make connections with supplied butt connectors, leaving no part of exposed bare wire uncovered.
Insert wires into cut end of bar and push through until they come out center hole. Repeat on other side.
Snap center cover back onto bar, and slide Ultimate Lightbar mounts on to the bar until they contact the
center cover. Tighten set screws on bottom of bar.
Remount the complete light bar back onto bike with stock hardware (some motorcycles, like the V-Star
1100 Classic, equipped with factory windscreens, require the use of the short spacers and bolts supplied,
or be adjusted to their top mounting position).
Go to Step 3 on page 4 of the instructions.

Suzuki C-90 installations:

Cut stock wires from lamp approximately 3" from lamp. You will reuse the long piece with the plug on it.
Attach supplied threaded spacer to bracket with supplied hollow bolt, tooth washer, flat washer and
rubber cone washer. See Photo CC

screws - repeat for other side.

connectors:

GREEN = Left turn

Step 3:

Route wires back into headlamp.
Reconnect turn signal wires, left and right. These should plug-in like stock - check your notes from Step 1.
Now is a good time to install the optional mini-switch. Make sure to install the switch in-line between both
driving lights, and not the turn signals. You may need to wire the power leads together to the switch, and
then split them off again after the switch. Baron does not recommend running both lights from one power
lead.
Mount the switch in a convenient spot.
Many other wire possibilities could be made depending on the way you want your ULB to function.
Replace headlamp bezel and reconnect battery.
TEST the lights.

Lamps can be adjusted by the set screws in the lower side of the assembly.

NOTE: The Halogen bulbs in this light bar get very hot! Do not touch them when they are on. Bulbs are 50-watt
driving and 20-watt turn signal - you should NOT replace with bulbs of higher wattage. Contact us for
replacement bulbs.

Simple trouble shooting tips:

Blows fuse when turn signal is on...Bare wire is touching the inside of the lamp or bar
Blows fuse when low-beam is on...Bare wire is touching the inside of the lamp or bar
Both turn signals blink together...Poor ground - make sure the bar and lamp assembly is secure to the bike
and is not insulated from the chassis. Also make sure the black wires from both sides of the light bar are
grounded.
Battery dies quickly...Dont forget to TURN OFF THE LIGHTS. These lights require a large amount of
power to run. At long periods of idle, and even short periods with the key on and the bike running, they
will drain your battery! Remember to turn them off when you shut the bike down.
Battery dies quickly...Install the optional mini-switch. Make sure to install the switch in-line between both
driving lights, and not the turn signals. You may need to wire the power leads together to the switch, and
then split them off again after the switch. Baron does not recommend running both lights from one power
lead.
